MTV Shows

Katniss loves Gale and Peeta (Casting)

Jennifer Lawrence defends casting of Peeta and Gale:

PEETA (Josh Hutcherson): “Josh is so charming,” she says. “He’s so charming! And when you read in the books about Peeta being able to manipulate anybody — I mean Josh could get, well, I don’t know a metaphor for [this scenario] except for dirty ones. But he’s charming, he’s sweet, he’s down to earth, he’s normal. He embodies all of it and brings it all to Peeta. So when you meet him he’s got all of these great qualities and every single one of them come across in every line he says out loud as Peeta.”

GALE (Liam Hemsworth): “Liam is just a solid brick of muscle and you look at him and you’re like ‘Oh, okay great!’” she says. “But he’s got depth and he’s interesting and at the same time he’s natural and he flows.”

Summer is a time for movies. If you are cheap like me you will try to sneak into as many movies as possible in a weekend or hitup the drive-in theatre where for a mere $12.50 you can see three movies (2new ones, 1 older one, but it is still three movies, one low price, if you canstay awake that long!

Lot's of movies coming out this summer... some are obvious must-see's other's intrigue me... here are some clips/trailers/comments/release dates...

More...

May

We have already started this month and I have seen Bridesmaids and Something Borrowed. I also went to the drive-in and slept through Rango, Thor and a third movie... oops!

Still, this month I hope to check out a few of the following flicks:

Skateland.

Not a fan of Ashley Greene, but love the 80s. Even so0 I can get my 80s fix with ANY OTHER 80s MOVIE... or even a modern movie that takes place in the 80s... Adventureland please? We'll see, this islikely a dvd wait...



Beautiful Boy

I must see this. I cry watching the trailer even! It will be an embarassing bawling movie but I love the actors, I sympathize with the plot and I must see this!



Midnight in Paris

To be honest, I know very little about this film but I like the cast and know Rachel and Michael hooked up on set so I kinda wanna watch it. Starring Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Michael Sheen,Adrien Brody and Carla Bruni Sarkozy.



Pirates

I need to re-watch previous ones before I go see this. I know I am bizarre but it is just how I roll... do it for HP (everytime) and did it for SAW and every other series'd movie.



Hangover 2

I loved the first one and can't wait to see the second one!



Kung Fu Panda 2

Will take the kiddo :)



Tree of Life

Great cast, touchey topic. About life



June

Xmen First Class

I like Xmen, so does my hubby. I think this wll be cool since it's more of a prequel.



Super 8

I love JJ Abrams and combined with Spielberg... epic! Plus Dakota Fanning's lil sis Elle is in it and the trailer looks cool... strange.. but cool.



Green Lantern

Canadian Hottie Ryan Reynolds (ok I never considered him a hottie but he has his moments) hub is anxious to see this... looks cool, I will check itout.



Mr. Popper's Penguins

I read this ages ago. Very cute!



Cars 2

OMG this wll be awesome! Loved first one and waited a long time to see this !



Bad Teacher

I think this movie will not be great BUT the trailer makes me laugh and I love Justin Timberlake as an actor (shocking I know - I just think he is amaze)



JULY

Transformers

To be honest, my husband loves these movies, I tolerate them. The first one was good I barely recall the second and don't care much to see the third... this is the third isn't it?



Larry Crowne

This movie, the idea, is kind of boring, plain blah... but it is Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, so by default it will do well right? I don't know, I want to check it out...



Zoo Keeper

Don't judge me... this looks cute! Like Night at the Museum but in a zoo?



Horrible Bosses

This will probably be dumb, but I saw the trailer the other day and giggled enough that I would probably go check it out anyways.



Winnie the Pooh

Loved this story and cartoon so excited to take my kiddo to see the movie.



Harry Potter

Nothing to say here - quite obvious!



Avenger

More my husbands thing but I am intrigued by cute boys - Chris Evans mmm



Friends with Benefits

I hadn't even heard of this movie until I saw it preview the other today. Andy Samberg, Mila Kunis, Emma Stone, Justin TImberlake, Woody Harrleson, Patricia Clarkson, Jenna Elfman, the list goes on... looks funny and cute.



Cowboys and Aliens

thought it would be dumb but would see it for Olivia Wilde (girlcrush) but turns out it looks kinda interesting, maybe.



SMURFS

80s love though these guys look kinda creepy... maybe they did inthe 80s too? *shrugs* I do like Doogie Howser, er, Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays (Heroes, Glee) but George Lopez, Katy Perry and more are also in it (via voice)



Crazy Stupid Love

This is another one that looks good. I love Emma Stone though (Another girl crush sorry) BUt more importantly, Ryan Gosling - - HELLO? hottie! I predict Emma Stone is Steve Carrall and Julianne Moore's daughter - who knows! It looks funny and lot's of eye candy! Watch for the Twilight line in the trailer LOL



AUGUST - Coming Soon!




So which ones are you most looking forward to seeing? Any I missed that are worth checking out? COmment Below!

Baz Lurhmann's The Great Gatsby

I loved Baz's Romeo & Juliet in 1996 so this idea is exciting. Plus, the cast sound absolutely superb!!

Hollywood Reporter writes:

Isla Fisher is in negotiations to join Baz Lurhmann’s 3D adaptation of The Great Gatsby being made by Warner Bros. Fisher will join Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan.

DiCaprio is pegged to play the wealthy and mysterious Jay Gatsby, while Maguire is playing Nick Carraway, who in the novel is the narrator. Mulligan is playing Gatsby’s love, Daisy Buchanan, who is married to a wealthy chap named Tom Buchanan, whom Affleck would play if his deal makes.

Fisher will play Myrtle, a married woman having an affair with Buchanan.

Sleeping Beauty Premiers at Cannes

Emily Browning at Cannes 'Sleeping Beauty' Premier.

22-year-old Emily Browning is the lead actress and here is what she had to say about her bare-ing all for the role: “I just loved the material and I could tell from the beginning that Julia wasn’t going to do anything gratuitous – it was all tasteful. Also, I just don’t have a problem with naked human bodies – it just didn’t really seem much of an issue to me.”

Twilight vs. Hunger Games

What is there to know? I love them both! They are both YA novels. They are both great. They are both being made into movies. They both have HUGE fan following. But really... the rest is not all that similar is it? Let's take a peak....

Celebuzz writes:

As The Twilight Saga comes to a close, The Hunger Games is just getting started! Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss on the cover of EW got Celebuzz staffers excited for the first film that is about to start filming in North Carolina, so we created a gallery of the similarities and differences between the two franchises.
We’ve all heard “The Hunger Games is the next Twilight” but is it really? Let’s take a closer look.

Aside from the fact they have insane fan followings- and Hunger Games is sure to be as much of a theatrical success- there are not a whole lot of similarities between the two aside from the main three-way love triangle.
Check out our side-by-side very surface level comparison of Twilight and The Hunger Games.

Warning some minor spoilers!

Bella Swan: Love drives almost every decision Bella makes. Despite her best efforts, this clumsy protagonist always gets herself into trouble and is a target for danger. The Cullen family (and werewolves too) risk their lives to keep her safe. At the end of the day Bella will do anything for Edward and visa-versa, no matter what it takes.

Katniss Everdeen: Survival and love of her family drives every decision Katniss makes. Despite the fact she cannot determine exactly how she feels romantically for fellow tribute Peeta and best friend Gale, at the end of the day Katniss will do whatever it takes to keep her sister Prim safe, no matter who she may have to deceive along the way.

Edward Cullen: Edward will do whatever it takes to protect Bella, even if it means leaving, or dying for her. He knows she would do the same.

Peeta Mellark: Peeta will do whatever it takes to protect Katniss, even if it means leaving, or dying for her. Peeta does this without knowing her exact feelings for him. Katniss constantly describes Peeta as being one of the most genuinely selfless people she knows.

Jacob Black: Bella considers Jacob her best friend despite his romantic feelings towards her. Although she pauses at the possibility that Jacob might be her future, she is hopelessly in love with Edward and can never truly consider being with anyone else.

Gale Hawthorne: Throughout the series Katniss' feelings towards Gale shift. First and foremost he is her best friend and companion, in many ways. Throughout the series Katniss can't decide how exactly she loves him. Gale will also do whatever it takes to keep Katniss safe, as will she.

The Volturi: They are the closest thing the vampire world has to a government. The Volturi are the largest and most powerful coven of vampires and enforce laws of their world. They also know how to hold a grudge.

The Capital: The Capital is the government of Panem. They created the Hunger Games after district 13 attempted to rebel against them and were consequently destroyed. The games are to remind the districts the Capitol has the power over their lives and ultimately deaths. Capital members too, know how to hold a grudge.

Carlisle: Although the entire Cullen family, and wolf pack, looks out for Bella, Carlisle acts as the leader and voice of reason in many situations involving his family (Bella included).

Haymitch: As the only District 12 tribute to ever win the Hunger Games he is automatically a mentor to Katniss and Peeta so it is his job to teach them necessary survival skills. Oh, but he's a massive drunk. Somehow Haymitch ends up taking a liking to the kids, especially Katniss, and this is shown during the games.

Charlie Swan: Bella and her relationship with her father is complicated. They didn't grow up together, but when she moves in you can tell they have a bond that doesn't need to be talked about. Bella never wants him to worry and tries to shield him from hurtful knowledge.

Prim: Prim is Katniss' sister. Their father died when the girls were younger and their mother was so traumatized that Katniss really was the parent of the family looking out for them both, particularly her sister. Katniss saves Prim from entering the games and continues to put her first before anyone else in all the books.
