The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Imagine the first hunger games movie and how amazing it was, now multiply it by 5, and this would be your experience of watching the second movie.

I am still amazed after 12 hours , somehow i wish i hadn't watched the movie so that i could watch it one more time for the first time!!!

Catching fire is the second movie of the hunger game trilogy,and after a year, it became more mature,better acts, better special effects a little bit darker, a little bit deeper, just to the right amount.

The storyline is after the last game, people at the districts started fighting against the system more, and now they have hope that something might change.on the other side, people at the capital are scared and they are trying to find a story to keep people busy with. So they decide they are going to have a game this year, with all the winners of the past games. And once again from district 12, Katnis and Peeta are going with the promise that they have to make people believe in their love.

I am not going to spoil the movie here, so I just tell you that the game is much more exciting and scary this time, and the dynamic between the contestants is much more interesting because they have the same mission.The movie is not just another action movie with pretty special effects, the drama is more mature so the movie will have a broader audience this time.

I am jus saying, get up and go watch the movie !!! please ;)

P.S. as an addition to the cast, there is an absolutely charming guy in the movies and ladies, you don't wanna miss that .

Before midnight


Right after i started watching this movie i realized it is the sequel to before sunrise and before sunset, two of the most touching ( not the best) movies i ever watched.

The movie depicts a sad truth about life, which is everything is passing, nothing lasts forever and nothing is eternal. And if you believe in this fact, which is very hard for some people, life would be very easy. It is simply saying don't look at your relationships as promises that are made in another world for you, do not expect too much and do not expect them to be perfect. No two people are meant to be together, nothing is meant to be, things happen and one should learn to enjoy them before they end.

The story happens when the guy and the girl are finally together, living in France with their twin girls, while the guy's son is living in the US with her mom.

It starts with the son leaving France after a summer break and the guy starts having the idea of moving back to the US to be close to his son, while the girl is just starting a new successful career.

For a trip they go to Greece and live with a group of people for a couple of days,meanwhile they go through a very sensitive stage of their relationship when they have to decide what is that make them stay together, If any.

I believe the challenges of a relationship is beautifully shown in this movie, i could connect easily and remember times of my life where i was going through the same questions and doubts. The story is very simple and it just wants to let the audience know that they have to pass through all those details that might or might not matter in one's life and look at what they have right now and how important that is in their lives.

I liked this movie very much though it was not all sweet and feeling good and i give 7 of 10 to it.
