The Hunger Games

So let me start off by saying that I haven't read the books, I know, I know. But once I saw the movie, I plan to get the whole book series. If you haven't seen The Hunger Games starring Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson you really need too. It's an excellent movie and there are actually some scenes that choke me up, very few movies ever do that. This movie is great all around. The acting is excellent, the make-up artists that worked on this film were incredible. Jennifer Lawrence owned the role of Katniss Everdeen and deserves every award shes won. I'm looking forward to the sequel which is currently scheduled to be released on November 22, 2013.

If anything like the Hunger Games ever took place in reality, oh, trust me, the shit would hit the fan...admittedly it would've had to have done that before hand. But to think that humans could do that to others, well that wouldn't go over too well.

While I'm not big on films that have a political or even religious overtones. The closest I'll go with those are usually conspiracy movies. But this movie is incredible. Easily one of the best films to come out in probably the last decade...in my opinion that is. I hope you get a chance to watch it and enjoy it as much as I did.

Until next time, I'm Crash Underride.

P.S. I want a bow and arrows like Katniss uses during the Hunger Games. Those are just awesome.

Decay

This entry I'm covering the 2012 movie Decay and I will be writing the review as I progress through the movie. The movie made by actual physicists at CERN. I must say, I don't expect to much from a bunchof physicists who aren't actual actors, but 12 minutes in the acting hasn't proven terrible.

The security guard at the front door, all I can say is "poor guy". He didn't looked enthused about his job. I'll miss the chick that played Lisa, she was hot.....needed some mocha in the movie. Yeah, that's what you wanna do when you have people chasing you after they've been exposed to deadly radiation....wonder off on your own, jackass. So the first actual "fight" scene isn't acted all that well, but is it sad when I've seen professional actors who are worse?
This movie was made on a budget of less than $3,500 and you'd think it would look like crap, but the camera work's pretty damn good so far.

To be dealing with zombies for the first time, these characters are rather calm and collected. Plus, I've never once seen a zombie get downed with a rod through the gut.

I think now should be the time that I mention that I think Zoë Hatherell is hot. So far, she's my favorite part of this movie...to go alone with the science aspect. Yes I'm a nerd, we're fuckin' awesome and your just jealous lol.

Is it just me or does the audio kinda go up and down a little? I've had to change the volume about three times.

Man, this Matt guy's an asshole. How do you NOT know to not say you fucked a guys sister IN FRONT of the chicks brother?! Okay, how does a zombie hear a loud noise and not go after it, let alone smell the people that are less than 5 feet from it? And that's two down, three to go. Tick-tock kiddies. Oh for the love of God! Every. Fucking. Horror move! I want to see just one horror movie WITHOUT two characters falling for each other while running from the enemy.
Smart, save ammo when you can and crush the zombies head in. But then again, when you have a lot of zombies a machine gun and lots and lots of ammo, empty the clip. Whoops, saw a small special effects mistake one Connor.

Whenever I see someone with a screwdriver or something impailed in the eye, I think of Phineas Gage. Everytime there's a thud the camera shakes....I think that was a bad choice in camera work.

Well, all-in-all not a bad movie. Wouldn't win any Oscars, but I think it was pretty good. I recommend it if you like zombie movies.

Well, until next time, I am Crash Underride.
