"I watch it, so should you!" - The new Hunger Games trailer!

I know I am about some hours late to that party, yeah yeah cry me a river, but I had some stuff to do and only get to this by now. So lets dive into it right now:

The new trailer only more and more emphasized the difference between the first movie and this one. The look is more sharp, less comic like, it is darker, more bigger than life (Like the Budget to the movies!) and absolutely more filled with pathos from the beginning on. So just you know: I want to watch this movie so bad, I would fuck a donkey! So if you haven't seen the trailer yet, watch it now here!

The new trailer features some great insight into the movie. It at first shows by the more darker style that Katniss and Peeta grew up and the situation has gained more and more tension.  We get a first view of the Victors village and see how fucked up it is, since no one really is there in district 12, the Capitol which looks more modern and urbanized and darker. Also the train on which they come is so beautiful and dark, befitting the atmosphere, and the genera sadness of the victors tour. Also we see Snow threatening Katniss with war. My most favorite scene is when we see the reaping in district 12 and Effie nearly cries and looks full of sorrow, since she is my fav character I love that she, as a part o the machine, starts to see its monster nature. Also we see the scenes with the burning outfits and training room sequences. What is not to love about that It is sooo good and really catches the tense atmosphere of the book. Well, no wonder since the director is Francis Lawrence, the genius who directed Lady Gagas Bad Romance video! 

I'm gonna watch the shit out of the movie, I'm gonna watch it so often it will get sore! Oh and by the way check out my first fashion reviews I did of Catching Fire. I'm shure once the movie is out I'm gonna do a complete fashion review! 

"I watch it, so should you!" - Brad Pitt's masterpiece World War Z

Marc Forster. We know? Yes we do. Forster is the director of World War Z and also has directed "James Bond. A Quantum of Solace". Yes, the one the critics hated! But f.y.i. he also directed "Monster's Ball" which got Halle Berry an Oscar! And with World War Z he jumped directly onto my "Fucking Amazing List"! 

World War Z is definitely an amazing movie and I will give you all the good reasons. At first it is a act that the book, on which the movie is based , is a fucking amazing book. And therefore the story can not be that bad! At second: Brad Pitt. This one is not only able to act, but also able to produce. Yes, Mr. Pitt has had his finger in the production of WWZ. But lets get to the story, shall we?

Pitt plays a family father, 2 daughters, a wife, former U.N. special agent and retired. A family person. Living in Philadelphia he has a pretty normal life. until the Zombie apocalypse breaks loose. Pitt and his family flee, and after a night in a flat of some friendly people they are rescued by a helicopter sent by the U.N. And what we see then is a horror scenario: The world is drowning in huge masses of Zombies. Pitt now has to get back into work for the U.N. and therefore has to leave for South Korea in order to find the source of the infection source. But in South Korea they do not really find what they are looking for. And the Zombies we get to know are not what a Zombie in "Dawn of the Dead" once were. These ones are fast, when they bite you will change into a zombie in up to 15 seconds, they are kind of like dangerous animals, react to noise and are so highly aggressive that they will crawl buildings by running over each other, building towers. How to handle this problem? Pitt tries to find the solution in Jerusalem, but due to the Zombies has to leave for Europe. In Wales he finds the first light of hope. But with a dangerous turn towards it. The zombies avoid one thing that can be deadly to humans. Weapon or defense for humans? And just so you notice: These Zombies are only really dead if you burn them, shooting is just not enough. 

 

Pitt who does most of the acting is on top of his game, all side characters are believable, and the best of all is that Brad Pitt's character is not that typical heroic character. he is worried for his family, hates to leave them and i reluctant to start working again for the U.N. The movie offers a huge variety of entertaining and wowing  shots and scenes. Also the zombies are not that super typical concerning the make-up. From the directorial side the movie is also very god and offers many different sides of the genre. The mixture of the frightening scenes and the rest is just perfect. Even the movies soundtrack is perfectly fitting. And the best to all is that the movie takes a realistic turn towards the catastrophy: humans are not totally chance less, but the zombies pose a high enough threat.

Go and watch, because you will not regret it! And if you do not like Zombies at all: Do it for Brad Pitt with hair like Jesus! 

"I watch it, so should you!" . The Purge

When I first saw the trailer of "The Purge" I was extremely excited for the movie. The themes of it, the sheer idea, the concept, everything should be in place and time to make that movie an epic take on utopia as a cover of a dystopian society. And yesterday I went to see the movie.

Picture belongs to Universal.

I have to say that I absolutely loved the beginning sequence! It was like a mash up of violent scenes from surveillance cameras but the genius about it was that in the background happy classical music was playing. Hello disturbing alienation effect. This absolutely hit me since it shows, directly from the beginning, that the society we will get to know is one where violence and crime have been glorified and risen to socially acceptable rank. And this is what, for me, all of the movie was about! 

The movie is centered about a family living in the America of 2022. Before these years crime has over rolled America, and the new founder fathers (we assume companies) decided to create a yearly 12 hour time called the purge ind which nearly every crime is legal including murder, rape and theft. but there are no emergency facilities open during that time. Only some high government workers are protected. The Purge is believed to release the peoples problems, and it seems a though the crime statistics from under 1% proves the inventors right. the family around which the movie is centered is a wealthy one, where the father is selling security systems that lock the house completely. They life in a good neighborhood where some of their neighbors think this family doe's not deserve the wealth they have since the whole neighborhood bought security systems from them.When the night comes, and the house is secured, the son of this family opens the house for a man on the flee from some purge participants. They are now eager to get that men, and if necessary run down the house, which they then do. 

During the movie some of them characters get what they deserve, others show their true colors, neighbors do not only bake cookies and take packages for one and former threats turn out to be life savers.

Sounds good? Well then I am sorry to tell you that the camera handling was shakier than in "Blairwitch Project", the story a bit flat, the actors sometimes not that believable and the general  implementation was thirsty for some good results. But all in all I would give the purge 5 out of 10 stars since from an interpretational matter it gave good material.

"I watch it, so should you!" - Movies I am super excited for!

Hey all of you! This summer so far has been, from the point of weather, a mess. Lets be honest: some extra super hot days do not count for a summer since not was not really a great thing and most people suffered from the heat way more than enjoying it actually. So what to do when its super hot or either pretty cold for summer? Go to the movies! And that is what I am excited for this summer.

What you will get her is a list of some of the movies I am very eager to get my eyes on this summer, or better said, the rest of the year. So lets dive right into this movie extravaganza!

Kick Ass 2 

*August, 14th, 2013*

I have already seen the first one in the series and I loved the campy and warholian vibe to it. It has this sense of surreal reality that I really enjoy and somehow, I mean in a freaking weird sense, it also has that sort of message to it, to do better in live. Maybe not as a superhero, but maybe as a person helping others. So tze sequel should be a hot mess!

Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters

*August, 7th, 2013*

I have like not only read, but rather more, eaten all of the Percy Jackson books. I was fascinated by ancient greek stories about the goods and demigods since i was a little boy. The books took me by storm, the first movie was , it was not a blast, but it was kind of good, so I can not wait to get to see the sequel!

Catching Fire

*November, 11th, 2013*

Okay, no need to say that I am obsessed with the Hunger Games trilogy, but this one is getting me to go nuts for it: I mean how can you not get mad abut that story? Its fucking awesome!

I watch it, so should you! - Star Trek: Into Darkness

Yes, I freely admit that I am a huge geek and that I absolutely LOVE Star Trek. My most favorite TV Show when I was young was Star Trek Voyager and since then I have consumed every bit of the Star Trek universe possible! I mean: hello? Its awesome! So 2 weeks ago or so, i went with a friend of mine to watch the new vehicle of the franchise: Star Trek - Into Darkness.

Picture Credits belong to the studios.

The new Star Trek movie is in  fact at first one thing: dark. Many People say that they do not want to see the Star Trek movie since its so dark. I mean they say that i was not the vision of Gene Roddenberry to create such a dark and sinister universe. But I would have to say that this movie is the best that could have happened to Star Trek. I mean it is not the original version but everything needs to develop. And they did it with that movie. Its more appealing to a younger audience and has more action. Although I like the scientific episodes of it sometimes I missed the action. So lets dive right into this!

The movie plot in general is that the federation is threatened by a powerful enemy. And against what the trailer wants to tell you. The enemy is a federation insider himself. I wont tell you whom he is but you will be surprised. And then the movie is just Kirk doing his stuff. But that is what it is all about. How they do it and nothing more. Everything I will give away to you is the following:

You will find out who Khan (From the second Star Trek movie "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) is, and what his history with James T. Kirk is. Also we will get to know how the friendship relationship between Kirk and Spock developed, how Uhura and Spock fight and what Kirks real motivations are (I mean towards the federation). We also ind out the story between Dr. Marcus and Kirk and will get to know that Starfleet principles do make sense. 

It is full of action and huge CGI animations, but in the center it still is all about Star Trek. So go: and watch!

I watch it, so should you! - Iron Man 3

We all know that rich dude in that iron suit, and we all know that he has a gorgeous girlfriend and that his life is a series of great things. But what you did not know until now is that this man: tony Stark can not sleep. Why? You will find out in this episode of "I watch it, so should you!". So get ready for Iron Man 3!

Picture Copyrights belong to Marvel.

I went to see the third installment of the Iron man franchise on may 1st. And yes I know it has been like 10 days now, but I was a bit busy =), so forgive me. To the movie: Iron Man 3 starts off right where the movie "The Avengers" set off. I think a  few months have passed and we get to re-know Tony as another person. He has anxiety attacks and cant sleep, due to his experiences in the wormhole that led him to the universe of the Centauri. When asked by a kid in a restaurant how that felt, he has a serious anxiety attack and flees into his Iron Man suit. At home we see that he constantly works on the Iron Man suits, and builds more and more of them. At night e cant sleep and his relationship with Pepper is about to be put on a serious trial. When his house gets attacked by the Mandarin, Pepper kidnapped and his security chief Happie is nearly killed in a bombing in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater in LA Tony has to re think everything. He seeks for revenge, but his Iron Man suit is not working. So we see Tony finding back his confidence without his suits, and getting to know who his enemy really is. As it turns out: It is not the "Mandarin" like the tailer wants us to believe, but someone from Tony's personal past. 

Since i don't want to give away too much I will just sum it up by saying that it is worth watching. There are some funny, very funny, scenes in this box office juggernaut. Also Pepper will be wearing the Iron Man suit, there will be Tony's funny attitude, There will be loads of fighting and Pepper this time will be glowing. And by glowing I mean glowing in the most direct sense of the word. Oh and you will see up to 40 Iron Man suits. So go and watch it!
