Hunger Games-Catching Fire

Hey munchkins!
This holiday the cinema is one of my favourite and most visited destinations:)I've been to the cinema five times in almost a week:P One of these times I went to Catching Fire, the second movie in the Hunger Games-trilogy.
 I went with my friend, and we had forgotten to make reservations and when we arrived we came to the frightening discovery that there were only three seats left! We were already counting on the fact that we couldn't sit next to eachother or not see the movie at all. But when we asked at the desk we found out we could sit next to eachother, on the second row. that's not exactly our favourite spot, but nonetheless, we could see the movie and ofcourse went.  
The Story
Katniss Everdeen has won the Hunger Games, but her troubles are far from over. The Capitol sees that Katniss has become a symbol of freedom for the people, and they're determined to stop a revolution and eliminate our heroine. They even organise another Hunger Games, between all the tributes who've won the Games before.
What it looks like
This is an exciting, quite heavy and really adventurous movie full of rebellious actions and mean political games. It looks nice, with a lot of close-up shots of especially Katniss' face and lots of blue-grey colours. The movie looks real, and you get sucked into it.

Long story short
I quite liked this movie. I'd give it three stars out of five, I think.

Saving Mr. Banks

Hey guys!
 I saw this beautiful movie on a really cosy evening with my grandparents in the cinema. I thought it was absolutely beautiful and touching, and it brought me to light tears. 
The Story
Saving Mr. Banks is a moving film about the writer of Mary Poppins, a slightly mean and cranky woman amazingly portraited by Emma Thompson. Walt Disney, played by the unrecognisable-is that a word?-Tom Hanks, has made a promise to his two daugthers to make a movie of the amazing book Mary Poppins by Mrs. Travers. Pamela, however, feels she can't sell Mary Poppins and critises everything Disney and his team come up with for the movie. While they're trying to convince Mrs. Travers to sell the rights you see the authors backstory, a tragic and moving tale in which you recognise an awful lot of the story about Mary Poppins and the Banks family.
What it looks like
This movie, beautifully filmed, edited and acted is really moving and will all the softies in the world, like me, feel their eyes become red and produce a tear. Emma is really convincing as the author of the book and Tom really is Walt Disney. Amazing scenes and the songs from the movie all come to live once again!
All in short;
Go and see this amazing movie if you want to see a moving tale, are interested in P. J. Travers backstory, are a Disney-fan or just want a good night out;)

Frozen!

Hey guys! I'm sorry there hasn't been a blog post in ages, I was just really busy with....stuff. But, now the Christmas Holidays are upon us, I have time to go to the Cinema!!!
I absolutely loove to go to a movie there, the whole thing it is; watching the movie, eating popcorn, drinking a milkshake, watching the trailers and everything.
I'm going to visit five movies this holiday, oh yesss. I've already seen three of them, and one of them is Frozen.
The story
I absolutely loved the story, Frozen's about two sisters, one of them, Elsa, has magical powers and turns everything she touches into ice. When a little accident happens with her little sister Anne, their parents decide to hide their daughter and they teach her to be really quite and not talk or seek contact with anyone, not even her little sister. But when Elsa's going to become queen, she can't controll her powers when Anne says she wants to marry a certain prince she's only just met! Winter falls upon the whole kingdom and Elsa flees. With the unexpected help of a snowman, reindeer and handsome stranger, Anne goes on her way to seek her sister so she can stop the winter and make peace with her.
What it looks like
The animation in this movie is stunning. The ice, the hair and the fabrics of all the dresses the sisters wear, are done beautifully and seem real! The 3D is great as well, by the way. The characters are lovable; Elsa because she's so isolated and lonely, Anne because she's really outgoing, Kristoff and Sven his reindeer 'cause they're funny and sweet and Olaf the snowman because he's absolutely hilarious. 
In short;
You should totally go and see this new Disney classic. The songs are lovely as well, even when you're not a true Disney-fan, I guess you'd like the surprising storyline and outstanding animation.
