The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (Blu-ray Review)

March 20, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Julianne Moore, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Donald Sutherland
Director: Francis Lawrence
Running Time: 137 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: March 21st 2016 (UK)

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 was an entertaining movie but there’s no doubt that it largely felt like it was laying the groundwork and building us up for Part 2. Now that film is coming to Blu-ray, so that those who didn’t catch it in cinemas can find out how the struggle between the Districts and the Capitol ends.

Panem is now in full-scale Civil War, with Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) having been enrolled as the Mockingjay, a figurehead that District 13 President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) wants to use for propaganda purposes. However, all Katniss really wants is to kill President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in the hope it will bring everything to an end. She also becomes increasingly suspicious of Coin, concerned that if she takes control after the Capitol collapses, they could be simply replacing one despot with another. [Read more…]

Final The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 Trailer Arrives – Katniss wants to end President Snow’s reign of terror

October 6, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mockingjay-part-2-poster2-slideOn November 19th we’ll get to see how The Hunger Games series comes to an end with Mockingjay – Part 2. It’s certainly been quite a ride to get here, with some really good movies which have become box office titans.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow [Donald Sutherland] in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale [Liam Hemsworth], Finnick [Sam Claflin], and Peeta [Josh Hutcherson] – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to liberate the citizens of Panem, and stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her.

‘The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.’

Take a look at the final trailer for the movie below. [Read more…]

Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Trailer – Katniss is going to war

June 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mockingjay-part-2-pic1-slideFor the first bit of this Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 trailer it seems things are going surprisingly well for Katniss and her allies. However it should come as no surprise to discover that doesn’t last long and soon the war that Part 1 promised is in full swing.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in the final showdown.

President Snow Gets Smashed In A New The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Poster

June 1, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mockingjay-part-2-poster1It shouldn’t come as a surprise that in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, Katniss and co. aren’t suddenly going to become massive fans of President Snow, so seeing the statue of him above smashed to pieces isn’t a shock.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Finnick (Sam Claflin), and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her.

Watch The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 World Premiere Livestream

November 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hunger-games-mockingjay-p1-slideThe stars of the The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 are gearing up for the movie’s World Premiere in London’s Leicester Square, and Lionsgate is allowing us all to share in the action with the livestream of all the red carpet action, which you can watch below.

Those putting on their best clothes and head for London’s West End include Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Natalie Dormer, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Donald Sutherland, Stanley Tucci, Jeffrey Wright, Jena Malone and director Francis Lawrence.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 finds Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) in District 13 after she literally shatters the games forever. Under the leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and a nation moved by her courage. The first two films grossed over $1.5 billion and there’s no doubt Mockingjay – Part 1 will be a massive hit when it hits UK cinemas on November 20th. [Read more…]

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Gets A New Message From President Snow

July 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hunger-games-mockingjay-snow-portraitA couple of weeks ago President Snow, ruler of The Hunger Games’ Panem gave us an address from The Capitol, as he knew that following the events of Catching Fire, there is dissent in the Districts and if it isn’t stamped out, the whole country could collapse.

Now he is back with a call for Unity, once more showing off his iron fist in a velvet glove skills.

We can also enjoy the new ‘official portrait’ above, which I’m sure we’d all love to hang on our walls. As you can see, it also features Peeta Mellark and Johanna Mason, who I’m sure were both their of their own free will.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Gives Us A Message From President Snow

June 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hunger-games-mockingjay-district07-slideLionsgate is taking an interesting tack with the current marketing of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. They aren’t actually mentioning the movie and instead taking us into the propaganda of the Capitol.

A few days ago we go a selection of posters where The Capitol ‘saluted’ the Districts, airbrushing out the misery with some very attractive models.

Now President Snow himself (aka Donald Sutherland) is here to make an address on Capitol TV, and he’s using Peeta to tell us Panem must stay ‘Together As One’, even if the young Hunger Games winner doesn’t look too happy about it.

You can also register for more Capitol TV updates at http://www.TheCapitol.PN. [Read more…]

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Blu-ray)

March 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Sam Claflin, Liam Hemsworth, Donald Sutherland
Director: Francis Lawrence
Running Time: 146 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: March 17th 2014

With the first Hunger Games, many remarked that it was surprisingly violent for a young adult film. The second isn’t quite as violent, but it’s is surprisingly dark and gritty. Many wondered whether swapping director Gary Ross for Francis Lawrence would result in a more mainstream, Hollywood-ised tale, but instead it’s rather gone the other way, with a film that doesn’t pull its punches over the darkness and pain at its heart, or try to make its hero less flawed than she is.

President Snow Gets A Hunger Games: Catching Fire Fashion Portrait

March 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

catching-fire-snow-portrait
All this week we’ve been posting Capitol Fashion portraits of the cast of The Hunger Games: Catching. Now we’ve reached what we assume is the final one – the evil head of the Capitol himself, President Snow (Donald Sutherland).

Here’s the synopsis for the film: ‘Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.’

Johanna is a former victor from District 7, who like many other champions is forced back into the arena. She’s a ruthless woman who almost immediately butts up against Katniss, although slowly starts to warm to her. Beetee meanwhile is an oddball that most people think will only last a few minutes back in the arena. However Katniss teams up with him and realises how useful his knowledge of electronics will be.

The film’s due out November 22nd.
