"The Hunger Games" (2012) - Second Trailer

New theatrical trailer for "The Hunger Games" is out, but it shows nothing new. We see that Jennifer Lawrence's character, Katniss Everdeen, will have some romance with Peeta Mellark, played by Josh Hutcherson, and Gale Hawthorne, played by Liam Hemsworth. But this video doesn't show the danger, because of which Katniss decided to take part in this championship instead of her young sister. She is desperate and scared, and all we see is some glamorous party and running in the woods. Also there is no 'catch phrase', no tagline, which can intrigue the audience. Ok, maybe it's time for me to read this trilogy and figure that out by myself.

Directed by Gary Ross.

"The Hunger Games" (2012) - First trailer

I came home just in time for the premiere of '"The Hunger Games"' trailer. Many people say it's "awesome", but I wasn't impressed so much.

"The Hunger Games" is directed by Gary Ross, who is famous for "Seabiscuit" (2003) and Pleasantville (1998). This story has to be an interesting action film, but characters talk more than act. If there are many "awesome" scenes, trailer doesn't show them. Pity.

Jennifer Lawrence, who portrays the main heroine, Katniss Everdeen, was good in "X-Men: First Class". But now I was comparing her to... Kristen Stewart the whole time, and it's not a compliment. I liked her in one scene, when her Katniss disagreed with that lady in pink - true horror on her face was very dramatic.

I can't say anything about Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, because they had just a few seconds here. But I don't expect from them too much.

Do I like "The Hunger Games" so far? I'm not very excited about this adaptation. They have now equal chances to screw this up or to make a good film. Ask me again after the third trailer.

Release date - March 23, 2012.

You can also watch it in HD on iTunes movie trailers.

"The Beaver" (2011) - Twitter review

As I like writing in Twitter as much as here, so I want to keep my coverage of "The Beaver" movie. I was tweeting about it while watching and it looks like a short reviews about what I like and dislike in that movie. So, probably, it's the weirdest review you've ever seen. Yes, I've put it in the right order.

About "The Beaver" (trailer, synopsis).

• Finally, I have time to watch BEAVER. First 10 min were witty. I doubt this movie is boring.
• If someone haven't seen it, they shouldn't read my tweets. Beware of spoilers :) #BEAVER
• Mel Gibson's suicide attempt was funny and ... pathetic. #BEAVER
• It looks that a person really needs help when starts talking to the puppet. #BEAVER
• Anton Yelchin is not a bad actor. #BEAVER
• I really like a screen duo Mel Gibson & Jodie Foster. Since their brilliant appearances in Maverick. #BEAVER
• #BEAVER in a strange movie, but still it's inspirational.
• But sex scenes along this puppet? Really? Definitely weird. And crazy. #BEAVER
• If #BEAVER were a TT, it will be fun. But I have no time for this :)
• After jokes and wittiness #BEAVER becomes more and more
  depressive.
• "Carpe diem" ("Seize the day"). #BEAVER
• I agree that drugs and shrinks can't save a person. #BEAVER
• Now I'm scared of that puppet... #BEAVER
• That graffiti is something! I wonder who did it... #BEAVER
• It's all about art therapy. #BEAVER
• And the prom speech was great. Very touching and truthful. #BEAVER
• Jennifer Lawrence was good, better than in "X-Men: First Class". #BEAVER
• How was Jodie Foster as a director? I can say she is more than just a talented actress. #BEAVER
• Ok, my #BEAVER coverage is over. I hope someone read it and find
  it useful :) 
• Oh, I almost forgot! It's 7/10. #BEAVER

"The Hunger Games" (2012) - Teaser

I just saw a new teaser of upcoming fantasy movie "The Hunger Games", based on the best-selling novel by Suzanne Collins, and though stills and first poster impressed me, this video just disappointed me. It reminds me a bit of "Twilight", so I hope Gary Ross, the director who took part in creating "Big", "Pleasantville" and "The Tale of Despereaux", won't make this one too boring.

Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravitz.
