Hunger Games : Catching Fire

EVERY REVOLUTION BEGINS WITH A SPARK.

Thank you cathay for the movie treat! We caught the Hunger games : catching fire on its premiere preview and personally felt that it was good. Brought Fenny along for the movie , together with the other CNOS bloggers.

 The storyline reflects a lot about life, especially how all of us are trying to survive in the society.
The rich and the poor, the fear in people and how every one of us are controlled by our government, all over the world.




Watch the trailer first!


 The movie setting remains the same as the first sequel, adding on more high technology effects and as the sound effects fits in. I still prefer the soundtracks of the first sequel though!

 In the second sequel of hunger games, the movie put much focus on the introduction where they explain the lifes of the Victors after the games and how they live in pressure. The story then continue to show the changes of events and then to the games. Unlike the first sequel, very little time was on the arena. In fact,the game was stopped half way. There was a twist of events which was stopped halfway and to be continued in the next movie sequel.When I saw the ending, I went like ARGH WHY. to OKAY WHEN IT THE NEXT PART COMING OUT! 

 In conclusion, the movie has succeed to make me look forward to the next sequel and I guess higher expectations too. For now, I shall just read the sequel to quench my curiosity.

Ratings: 4/5 

P/S: I would also want to thank Jourdian for being stuck in camp so that I get his tickets and also MINDEF for putting Jourdian in camp. (if you are reading this, see you soon soldier!)

Despicable Men 2 Review

Oops, seems like I caught the movie before it airs again!
Thanks to Don & Cathay for the movie passes of Despicable Me 2 Premiere.

I am quite sure the movie is a trending topic in town apart from the #sghaze, #sghail and Hello kitty !
The main character Gru, the adopted girls and his army of minions that I remembered vividly from the first Despicable Me movie.
And if you are in town, you would have seen the blown up not-so-mini minion at the Grand Cathay. 

In Despicable Me 1, the villian Gru met the three girls who were selling cookies and ended up adopting them. How can I not remember Agnes' tagline " ITS SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE" (She's still with her unicorn in the second part of Despicable Me)

Meanwhile in the Despicable Me 2, Gru decided to not be a villain anymore and venture into a legal jello business with the help of his minions. However things change when Dr Nefario has been offered a better job opportunity and at the same time, Gru had one too. Also, Gru's neighbour kept trying to match make him and give the girls a complete family. Gru decided to accept the job and then meet his new partner in work which then .... they had some sparks. The minions had an adventurous time as well.

My say :

I enjoyed the movie a lot and I felt that it is a must watch.The movie was better than what I expected and was something that I wasn't expecting. I was expecting that the movie would focus on the minions this time ( popular things always get more ) but I was kinda wrong.The storyline still focuses on the main character Gru, and a balance with the three girls and the minions, with an addition of characters too. The funny elements and the music also enhanced the whole movie experience. It was easy to understand, funny and at some moments felt very close to heart. The minions are still as adorable as ever, I wish I had one at home.

Rating : 4.5/ 5

Loves,
A.
