Blu-Ray Review: The World’s End
The World’s End, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright’s final chapter in the so called ‘Cornetto Trilogy’, has just been released on Blu-Ray. We at ComicsOnline.com, and me personally. love the previous two, so I was pretty excited for this last collaboration to be released. I still remember the first time I finally checked out Shaun of the Dead, after all my friends had recommended it. The odd, but loving, send up of the now ubiquitous zombie genre was fresh and hilarious, continuing where Army of Darkness left off, but taking it to in a slightly more British direction. Would The World’s End live up to the high standard they’ve set?
Movie Review: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Second Opinion)
Finally! It feels like forever since the first film of the series, The Hunger Games, was released (although I am told that it was only released in March 2012…I don’t believe you, IMDB) and fans of both book and movie have been faithfully awaiting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Let’s get you all caught up.
Movie Review: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
It is said that once you win the Hunger Games you are done. There is no more reaping for you, no more starving for you or your family, no more worries for the rest of your life. At least that is what the winners of last year’s 74th Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook) “The Girl On Fire” and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson, Red Dawn) thought. But the love story that made them win the games might not have been seen as an act of selflessness, but an act of defiance against the Capitol. As they embark on their victory tour, they have to convince everybody that it wasn’t, that it was only an act of desperation by a silly little girl in love. But a revolution is brewing, and Katniss is the spark of hope that the districts of Panem need to end the violent oppression and stronghold the Capitol has on them. As President Snow (Donald Sutherland, The Italian Job) feels like he is losing control of the districts he will do whatever it takes to regain it. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is the sequel to last year’s movie based on Suzanne Collins trilogy of books with the same name, and it comes to a theater near you on November 22nd.
