Movie review : Life of Pi

From IMDb
A young man who survives a disaster at sea is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While cast away, he forms an unexpected connection with another survivor ... a fearsome Bengal tiger.

My opinion:
I have to be honest... The only reason I wanted to see this movie, was because when I saw the trailer, Coldplays song Paradise was playing, and it totally set the mood for the movie. I HAD TO SEE THAT MOVIE.
The movie was great, and the story was awesome, but somehow I felt like I wanted something more. I cannot really put my finger on what.
The 3D effect did nothing for me what so ever. You can see this in 2D and save the money. Maybe it's because I saw the Hobbit that I want that extra 3D feeling?
The movie is thinker; What I mean by that is, when you leave the movie theater you can't stop thinking about it... in a good way
This movie is not only for young ones, but also adults.
I recommend this movie.

This is the trailer with the coldplay song in it - Oh I just love this one

Have you guys seen the movie?

Xoxo, Mie

What do you guys think? Is this a must have?

❀MOVIE REVIEW - THE QUEEN❀

From Rotten Tomatoes

The British prime minister and the Royal Family find themselves quietly at odds in the wake of a national tragedy in this drama from director Stephen Frears. On August 31, 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales died in an auto accident in Paris; despite the controversial breakup of her marriage to Prince Charles, she was still one of the most famous and best-loved women in the world, and the public outpouring of emotion over her passing was immediate and intense. However, given the messy circumstances of Diana's breakup with Charles, official spokespeople for the Royal Family were uncertain about how to publicly address her passing. It didn't take long for the media to pick up on the hesitation of Buckingham Palace to pay homage to Diana, and many saw this as a sign of the cool emotional distance so often attributed to the royals, which in this case was widely seen as an insult against Diana and the many people who loved her. Prime Minister Tony Blair (played by Michael Sheen) saw a potential public-relations disaster in the making, and took it upon himself to persuade Queen Elizabeth II (played by Helen Mirren) to make a statement in tribute to the fallen Diana -- an action that went against the taciturn queen's usual nature. The Queen was released the same year that Helen Mirren played Queen Elizabeth I in an acclaimed miniseries for British television; The Queen also gave Michael Sheen his second opportunity to play Tony Blair after portraying the prime minister in the television film The Deal.

What do I think?

I was so surprised by this movie, that I couldn't stop talking about it afterwards.

You would think that the Queen is a die hard bitch (pardon my french), but this movie actually shows that the Queen has a sensitive side, and I kind of felt sorry for her throughout the movie. The Queen is brought up in a very old school way and actually thinks she does what is best for the country by keeping this kind of ice queen facade on. Slowly she starts to realize she may have to chance the attitude.

I recommend this movie if you haven't already seen it

Movie Review: Battleship

Taken from trailers.apple.com:

Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic-scaled action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Inspired by Hasbro's classic naval combat game, Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper's fiancee; Alexander Skarsgard as Hopper's older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper's crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone's superior (and Sam's father), Admiral Shane

My thoughts:

When I first heard about this movie I honestly didn't know what to expect at all, but I can say that I came out from the movies pleasantly surprised.

It is a guy movie yes (my bf's turn to pick a movie lol), but I enjoyed it as well, we even talked about buying it on blueray when it comes out... Lots of action and aliens oh my.

The downside of this movie: Rihanna. She is a great singer and dancer and looks good but all I could think about was there is rihanna on the screen (not the person she was portraying). Im not saying she is a bad actress at all maybe its just me being used to seeing her sing about an umbrella ella ella and stuff.

Funny little story - when we arrive at the movies my bf is leading us into the movie room or what you guys call it and we can't understand why there is no one there.

Well after 5 - 10 minutes a lot of old people walks in the room and all I keept thinking was wow these people are freaking cool even though they are a bit old, and in the meantime my bf is freaking out cause he cant believe its true.. well then he checks our tickets again just to be sure and it turns out we are in the wrong room lol.. 

Well thank good we only missed like 5 minutes of the movie, when we finally found the room

Hope you guys are enjoying your weekend

Book Review : The hunger games

From Goodreads.com

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. 

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister Primrose, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before — and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

My personal opinion:

Okay Im just gonna say it - I LOVE this book. 

I was told before I started reading this book that it had similarities to Twilight so I was a bit meh about starting reading it cause yes I thought the twilight books were good, they were just not as well written as The hunger games (and yes I know its two different authors)

I've been reading this book at every chance I got, so when I got of work I would sit in the bus reading it on my way to the gym (I have a 30. min bus drive), and I even read it on my breaks at work.

If you guys are looking forward to the movie (yes Im gonna watch it) I recommend this book.

Tbh I've never heard about the book before all this hype started and thats when I decided I wanted to read the book, cause I often think that a book is better than the movie they make of it.

Im finishing off with the trailer for the movie so if you guys haven't seen it yet, you know a tad bit about why the book is good

Have you guys read the book?
