Catching Fire, is it really?

Finally, after a long long time it is 22^nd November 23, 2013, but, really 23^rd November now because it is 1 30am. The premiere of Catching Fire was at 8 15pm yesterday, in my country. I was unable to go to that.

Today, I went to the 10pm show. Did not know the movie would last two and a half hours. As a result, I reached home at 1am. Getting to the movie was the hard part.

There was a strike in the city today, there were supposed to be riots and everything should have been closed, I was let go from school fifteen minutes earlier for some reason. But then, I had tuitions so I waited till 2pm then went to tuition. My brother picked me from my tuition at four and we went to a mall, got a cookies n cream milkshake. You have no idea how phenomenal that is, my brother never does something like that for anyone. The plan was that my brother would stay with me from four to five thirty when he will drop me at my friend’s place because she would be getting home from her class at five thirty and I had to go to watch the movie with her.

She told me around five that she didn’t go to her class; she was not at home and would be there around seven. Now, this would not have been an issue but my brother’s exams are starting from Monday and he needed to study.

Surprisingly, he took me to this place I had never been to, and frankly, I am already in love with that place. It is like a library except better. You just do whatever you want, mostly people study (there are tables and chairs) despite the music albeit soft in the background, you get free wifi, you order sandwiches and drinks, or just read. My brother studied and I read. It was fun. I had a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream, a kiwi crush and a chicken pizza (it was really tiny)!

I reached my friend’s place and we left for the cinema at 9 30pm. We reached and got into the cinema right in the beginning, during the opening part.

Coming up, Catching Fire Movie Review:

First of all, I love this director (Francis Lawrence?), I don’t mean disrespect to the last one but the books weren’t all that great to begin with and the first movie was just really bad.

It did not deviate from the book. Sam Claflin and Jena Malone were absolutely amazing. Prim was really bad, I do not know the actress but maybe it is because of her youth or her inexperience but she was very monotonous. Katniss’s mother was shown all of three times and did not really say anything except when treating Gale.

I suppose I did not like most of it was because it was actually so much like the book and Katniss is so annoying that it gets to me. She breaks down all the damn time when you’re just like doesn’t everybody say you’re a strong female protagonist, yet you cry every time you are unable to deal with a situation properly, how is that right? What can I say, I am not part of The Hunger Games bandwagon and I am not ashamed to admit it.

I think I’ll go to sleep now.

Bye now.

Make wise decisions.
