"Fuck that! And fuck anyone who had anything to do with it!"

I saw this on Monday, but yeah, I'm just now writing this. I'm really sorry.

If you've read the book the film is exactly what you expect. Okay, well, if you expect it to be perfect and have every single detail from the books in it, then you're going to be disappointed. But it's exactly what movies based on novels are. And you know what, they are perfectly fine. We don't need every single detail of the book in a movie, as long as it works. If you don't read the book, you are completely alright with everything. If you have read the book, you know how it goes, so why does imperfect film annoy you? I don't know.

Sorry for the little rant.

I loved so many things about this movie. I love Katniss and Haymitch, and I'm happy how they were presented here. Also, I didn't even realise how much I liked Johanna Mason's character until she was on the screen and I could see her. The actress they chose was absolutely perfect. And mostly all of the casting was a spot on. 

Also, oh my god, the ending was awesome.

And why would they use Rue's Farewell song in this movie too? It's so beautiful and sad, I can't take it.

"And be grateful. Our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real."

So I watched Red Dragon.

Let me start with the first thing on my mind about this movie. Why is Anthony Hopkins' name first? Why is Hannibal portrayed as the main character? His role was unbelievably small, and he wasn't even the main villain. Huh! Okay, well, I'll see the other ones, maybe he has bigger role. (After all this was the last one, even though in chronological order it was the first.)

Why did I watch Red Dragon? I've started to watch Hannibal, the TV show. It's incredible. It's really thrilling. But yeah, I've only watched one movie, but I can almost without a fail say, that I will always like the TV show more. It's more complex.

Anyway, I loved Edward Norton as Will Graham. I'm pretty sure Hugh Dancy has learnt from an example. Ralph Fiennes was amazing as well. 

One thing I liked the most was Danny Elfman's (seriously, that guy is in everything) music. It was eerily beautiful, as always. But doesn't beat the music in the TV show.

"The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous."

So I watched V for Vendetta.

I've always wanted to watch this movie, and now I have. How Marvellous.

The idea is brilliant, very brilliant. I like the idea of dystopia and a "Big Brother" that is watching, every since George Orwell's 1984. Yeah. and I loved how the chancellor's name was Sutler. Because the first thing that popped into my head was, of course, Hitler. And I will be damned if that wasn't why they named him Sutler.

I still don't know if I like Natalie Portman. She's good but sometimes I find her annoying, and I don't know why.

Hugo Weaving was an interesting choice for V. I'm used to seeing his face, like in Matrix and Captain America and blah blah. He was really nice as V, especially when he talked a lot and I don't know. His voice was perfect. Also, V's character reminded me a bit of ... Deadpool. What, you ask now, how is that possible? Well, the way he was "born", the way his skin is scarred, the way he wears a mask all the time. Yup. 

Quite a lot of actors in this movie... and most of them were good. Stephen Fry, John Hurt, Rupert Graves... all did a god damn good job. 

But the movie had a moment when I guess most of the people just sit there watching, "what". And I won't spoil more, but seriously, watch this movie. I don't know if it's going to be my favourite, but it was really inspiring. I do not regret watching it. 

"What do you see?" "A bloody big ship. Excuse me."

So I watched Skyfall.

I really, really, really don't like James Bond. I think he's an annoying character and that the movies are really pretentious. Never mind that I'm similar to my dad, who adores James Bond. I've never liked the movies and I probably never will.

This movie was alright, but that's it, only alright. Daniel Craig may be handsome, but I don't like him as an actor. I think he's way too similar in every movie he's in. Ben Whishaw is quite nice as Q, but he reminds me too much of Will Graham before a mental breakdown. 

But I liked two characters. I liked M, she's magnificent character. I mean, Bond is thought to be dead, but when he comes back M's first words are: "where the hell have you been?" Really nice character. Also, I liked Silva, the bad guy in the movie. I love his actor, whose name I can't remember or check at the moment. But the actor did a damn good job.

But I don't know if I can say anything else that's positive. The story was a bit boring, a bit predictable and somehow really lame. I love action movies, but this just didn't have that something in it. I'm really sorry, but I expected more, since so many people love this movie.

"Seeing you chop onions is depressing."

So I watched The Five-Year Engagement 

When I saw this on sale on video renting, I knew I had to have it. Not because it's a rom com, no way. That's like... a red flag for me, you know, "this is a romatic movie, stay away from it". No, I wanted it because Jason Segel is in it. Gosh I love that dude.

The movie was somewhat... long and a bit boring. But then again the slow pace was perfect with it. I mean, the movie's story lasted for like... five years (really?), so yeah, if you can make a five years full of action, and not make the film bored, I'm surprised. Even though they took the most important parts of the five years. But you know what, that's life. It's boring. So yeah, it felt good with this movie.

I loved the ending, no matter how sappy it might be. It was somehow super, super sweet. 

Also, I loved almost all the actors. I love Emily Blunt, and Alison Brie as her character's sister was also really, really adorable. Should I start watching community because of her?

"You know the devil never dies, keeps coming back. But you gotta keep killing him."

Yesterday I went to see Carrie with Tiina. I was somewhat worried, because I don't really like horror films. But Carrie wasn't horror. Like someone said, the real genre is tragedy, and I can totally see that. Tragedy, and a thriller, I guess.

Chloë Grace Moretz was perfect for the role. I mean she was absolutely fantastic - like always. She's the only person younger than me who I still admire. And I admire her for a reason. Her acting is incredible. I've seen her play like four different characters, and she does all those very gracefully. Also, Julianne Moore was also really good for her role.

But there's one thing about the movie I really, really want to share with you all. You know the story of Carrie? Her mother is a fundamentalist, and ... um, just really weird and obsessive about her religion. And Carrie gets telekinetic powers, and is bullied at her school and so on. But even when Carrie flips out a bit after the prom thing, the viewer is never scared of her (I know I wasn't). Because you know what has caused all this - all the bullying, and what's worse, her mother. Because the mother's role was really the scariest. Even the most horrible girl in school wasn't as scary as Carrie's mum.

So yeah, the movie wasn't actually scary, only.. distressing and disturbing, probably, but not scary. And there wasn't really that many scenes where you got a mini heart-attack, only one scene. And that was very predictable.

(But what bothers me most was how hard it was to find a proper poster. I mean most of these posters make Carrie look what she really isn't. There's not enough blood, and she looks like... well, not a complete outcast. This was the best one that I found [that was working], and even that isn't so good.)

But you know, I also saw The Help at school. I really didn't want to make an own post for that movie, because I didn't really choose to watch it. Also, I didn't like it that much.

First it seemed like an important piece of history of the black people. But in the end it started to focus too much on the white women, even though few of those were actually nice people. And I realise white and non-white people are allowed to have problems at the same time, but the movie really shouldn't be about white people. 

That's all I have to say about it.
