The Hunger Games ~ Movie Review

I love watching movies, as long as they are not horror or too scary, or where there is the death of a child.. that is too much for me. I basically like romantic, drama, adventure and suspense. Sometimes my husband brings home a movie that I would never choose.. and it recently was: The Hunger Games.
Have you seen it? I remember that when I watched the preview I said "I'm not gonna watch that!", it seemed to me too full of anguish, and that's a feeling I don't like to go to sleep with. :}
So, once rented I forced myself to watch it and I have to say.. it wasn't that bad! Maybe a little too much blood and evil for my taste, but it was well acted and the special effects were pretty nice. The story is completely absurd, I read it comes from a famous Novel which I will never read. While watching it I remembered another movie, called "Battle Royale", what I thought it was the "japanese version" {it's instead a similar story taken from a similar book}.... horrible movie, much worse than the american one!
Well, my review doesn't seem to be too positive!!! sorry about that... I have to say that I liked the costumes very much and the arch & arrows of the protagonist. 
Has anyone seen this movie? Did you like it? Let me hear your perspective!! :)

Oh... I almost forgot to share this! My version of the movie!! haha

What I Watched Last Night..

I don’t know about you but I love Fairy-Tales.. as soon as a new Princess’ Movie comes out I have to watch it!
Last night, all “cozy-wozy” with my kids, I watched MIRROR MIRROR. It was finally available at the Red-box! If you don’t remember what it is about, it’s basically the story of Snow-White.. just told in a different way. Julia Roberts is the evil Queen… and she’s just gorgeous as always! I’ve always been her fan, since the times of Pretty Woman. All the characters were incredible. I really loved the movie.. it was funny, cute, romantic, suspenseful all at the same time!
You think you know the story of Snow-White? well, you don’t know this one!

Apart from Julia Roberts, I didn’t know any of the actors, but I liked them all. The Prince is charming and funny, the dwarves are spectacular..and Snow-White.. they couldn’t have found a sweeter girl!! She’s incredibly beautiful and graceful, exactly as you would imagine the real princess.
Another thing I loved was the Castle. Then all the special effects.. and.. the costumes were just fabulous! Look for yourselves at these pics I found:
