The Hunger Games - The Re(al) - view

The Hunger Games was pretty exciting up to the point the games actually began, actually it was fantastic then director Gary Ross messed it up with his botched cinematography (will get to that in a moment).

This is a movie that was promoted and marketed on the premise that it was not another Twilight, and for reasons beyond my imaginations actual critics saying things like "its darker than Harry Potter" ... seriously? The villains are no where near Harry Potter's and you don't feel that sense of endangerment and gloom that HP gives right from the beginning.

Characters like Caesar Flickerman (by Stanley Tucci)

I have not read the book (don't plan on reading it anyway), but one thing I can say was that while watching the movie (director) Gary Ross was loyal and there was no necessary explanations for the way things were, rather as the movie progresses you begin to pick up bits and piece them together . The fact that the appearance (ie costumes) of the characters in the capitol sort of explain how obnoxious they are, which kind of proves itself the minute they open their mouth.

American Reunion

Goon - The Re(al) - view

Hockey is one brutal sport! That's the thought Goon leaves you with.

This little sport film is surprisingly funny and enjoyable, and features Seann William Scott in a funny-yet-sweet roleas Doug Glatt (definitely one of my fav. performances) and Liev Schrieber as Ross Rhea, as two enforcers (another name for guys whose job on the ice is to fight -- bare knuckle) on opposing teams with a really soothing demeanor till they instigate a fight on the ice that is.

Written by Evan Goldberg and Jay Baruchel, who also starred as Pat - Doug's "tattooed and profanity driven" best friend; this character's vulgar nature is on par with the violence that heralds the movie's theme. Alison Pill's role as Doug's love interest is a cute attempt at personifying "Doug" thus bringing along emotional weight to this feature. Jonathan Cherry as Marco, was insanely hilarious as the divorced goalie who just had to remind everyone what he was going through; his pep talks are really out of this world in a twisted emotional manner that is; while Marc-Andre Grondin as Laflamme , the fallen superstar of the team also reflects how Doug influences his (LaFlamme) road to redemption, and the effects of team work.

Director Michael Dowse's approach is to applauded as he dove right in, focusing on the players of the game rather than the game itself giving fans and non-fans (like your truly) an insight on the game, thus not over/under-whelming either parties.
