New Posters???? Sure are!

Hey hey guys, so this is a quick update on some new posters that were released  today! They are Mockingjay posters of The Squad. If you don't remember the Star Squad, was the team that went with Katniss to fight the Capitol and also when she was shooting promos, they were there too. 

  So here are the posters!!!! 

These posters look soooo amazing. My favourite one is Gale because he looks soooooooo good in his outfit with his crossbow,  and damn does he look hot. My other favourite one is Cressida's because I like the way they didn't ignore the fact that she had half her head shaved and that they tattooed ( not literally) the vines on her head, which is what like. 

     I think everyone is wondering where in the world is Katniss. They haven't shown Katniss much in the promotion for Mockingjay. We probably saw 10 seconds of her in the teaser and only one still of her. That's all. 

     What do you guys think of the posters? Do you like them or no? What's your favourite one? What's your least favourite one? Tell me in the comments, I'd like to hear what you guys think about them. 

Mockingjay is out in Cinemas worldwide on November 21. 

See you soon

Summer's over!!

Hey guys, so tomorrow is the day I have to go back to school. I'm really excited because I haven't seen my Friends in quite some time and High School is pretty fun.

            Since school is starting tomorrow I won't have that much time to post as much as I did, during the summer. Since I won't have the time to see movies until Halloween break, I'll be doing old movies that I have seen before once a week. 

          Posting this summer was so much fun, and I really enjoyed sharing my opinion with you guys and I hope you enjoyed it too! 

        Today I will be posting a movie review on Mean Girls. I won't be posting for about a week, until I get adjusted to the school routine again, but after that I'll be posting once a week on Sundays!

           I hope you guys enjoy My movie review :D

Review
This movie is seriously one of my favourites. I have watched it about 3 times, and it never gets boring. It's really funny and enjoyable. It cheers me up when I'm feeling down. There are no words to say how good it is. This will be one of favourite movies for a long time. 

Rating 

I'm going to give Mean Girls a 5 out of 5.

21/08/2014 remember this date tributes!

So just this morning pictures of buildings with the Mockingjay symbol and the slogan "Our Leader The Mockingjay" appeared 

       The website District13.Co.in have sent these pictures to fansites and a twitter user. They all read the caption 21/08 and 22/08. 

           I read about this on the Quater Quell twitter page, and I nearly had a heart attack, as you guys probably now by now I am a crazy tribute. So this was very exciting 

             I think that the reason that they have two seperate dates is because of the times they will bring something out or announce something and it will on the 21st in some countries and the 22nd in others. 

      What do you guys think it will be? I have some thoughts in mind of what it could be. It could be new posters with some of the charecters or they could be announcing when the Mockingjay- Part 1 trailer will debut. As I have seen some rumours online from a Hunger games Brazilian twitter fan site called @JogosVorazesBR saying that the Mockingjay- Part 1 trailer MAY debut at the VMA's this Sunday. Who knows they could be confirming that tomorrow. 

Tell me in the comments below what you think they are, I would really like to hear your opinion. 

Mockingjay- Part 1 will be out in cinemas everywhere on November 21. 

  ( Have any if you guys seen Francis, Nina, Willow or Liam do the ALS ice bucket challenge? If you have weren't they so cool, and If you haven't you should check it out. And Liam in his TMNT onesie was so cute. I should learn to control my fangirl attacks) 

Hope you enjoyed this blog post!

Review 

The only reason I wanted to watch this movie was because Elizabeth Banks was in this. I found this movie quite boring at times. There were some scenes that I thought were dragged along, in my opinion. It was a very heartfelt movie, but I didn't enjoy it that much.

Review 

This movie is seriously so amazing. It made me cry at the end, and I usually don't cry in movies I just get teary.  I really enjoyed this movie, I have no words to describe how good it is. It shows that not all people were mean back in the olden days, and that some people treated coloured people with respect and equality.  I would definitely recommend it if you haven't seen it yet.

I'm going to give it a 5 out of 5.

       Margaret wants to pick Andrew to marry, so she can stay but Andrew will only agree if she gives him a promotion. An agent from the INS is planning on having the couple tested to make sure this isn't some kind of scam.

     Things end up taking a huge turn during the weekend.

This movie is quite good but not interesting. I liked the way that Andrew came from hating her to actually liking her, which doesn't really happen in that much romance movies. It's a really nice movie for if you are completely bored and have nothing to do. Would I watch it again? Probably not. 

Rating

I'm going to give The Propsal a 3 out of 5, as I did enjoy the story line, but I did find it very predictable. Sandra's acting was amazing as usual. 

Trailer review 

I am going to do this trailer review on a movie called "Paradise Lost" which stars Benicio Del Toro and Josh Hutcherson. Here's the link if you guys haven't seen it yet! 

http://youtu.be/C7p9Owu1POA

Trailer review 

What I really enjoyed about this trailer was the whole concept of it. That a boy surfer meets the love of his life but it turns out the love of his life's dad is not what he really expected, which is what I like. I don't know how to describe it, but it captured my attention.Which isn't it what everyone wants when they see a trailer or movie?! I really want to see this movie, because the story line really seems interesting to me. And also the way Josh acts his character in the trailer is like he deserves an Oscar, the way he shows the emotions is just soo amazing. I'm really excited to see what this move has to bring!! 

Le Maze Runner character posters

These new Maze Runner character posters came out yesterday or the day before I think. What's really cool is you can see the detail of the vines from the the maze and the greenish/greyish colour which is like the Glade and the Maze. What I have noticed is that each one of the is also carrying a type of weapon with them and their faces have a cool expression. I don't know how to describe  it but their expressions are really cool (don't you hate it when you have something clear in your mind but you don't know how to explain it properly). I don't have a favourite one from these sets of posters, I like them all very equally. I'm super excited to see the Maze runner and see if it's anything to the book and what Wes and the cast have brought to this movie. The thing that's really annoying is the Maze Runner dosent come out in Ireland until October 10, which is just ugh. 

The Big Finale 

Two days ago FINALLY Lionsgate decided it was time to give us a Katniss teaser poster for Mockingjay-Part 1. We were probably all "Celebration they have heard our prayers" I was extremely happy that we got a poster but the downside is that Katniss is faced backwards. Yes that's right she's faced backwards. I'm really happy they decided to give us a Katniss poster but really backwards. And Our Leader The Mockingjay is coming on the 9/10. The majority of people think it's the official trailer, but it turns out it won't be. The Lionsgate Instagram page posted this picture yesterday. 

I'm super excited to see the final poster for Mockingjay, there are like no words to describe how excited I am. It feels like Catching Fire promotion happening all over again except this time with less Katniss and no trailer yet. 

Do I like this poster? Yes, not too much is going on the only thing it says is 'I am. I will' which is what Katniss says in the teaser. I can't wait to see what the final poster looks likes!! 

If you guys have read my whole blog post,  WOW. Thank you so much if you have, as I know this post is longer than usually and you would have probably gotten bored. Thank you if you have read through all my words, it really means a lot . Don't forget to comment what you thought of the poster, trailer or review. I hope you enjoyed this blog post and I'll see y'all soon!

Review 

I watched this movie on Halloween with my two best friends, I didn't pay much attention to the movie. I don't know if it was that I had too much sugar or that I have never read the book. When I was paying attention the only thing me and my best friend Cristina did was laugh, and my other best friend Yuliya, told me to shut up. I did find it quite boring and the reactions were very dramatic to me. If I read the books I would have probably understood what was going on. 

      The only thing I got was that there were shadow hunters, and that Clary's mum was one too and they had to save something or someone. 

     Overall I didn't enjoy it. 

Rating

I'm going to give The Mortal Instruments a 1 out of 5. I would have probably given it a higher score if I actually paid attention and didn't have soo much sweets. 

I hope you guys enjoy this movie review and don't forget to comment!

I'm really happy with everyone that won and was nominated, I'm so happy for Catching fire! 

     I only got to watch the live "blue" carpet, on livestream, because in Ireland they don't show the Teen Choice Awards ( this is outrageous). I stayed up until 2am in the morning looking for a livestream to watch the award ceremony.

           I have been reading on Instagram that apparently it was rigged or something. They picked the winners 6 days before. You can check the hashtag #teensdonthaveachoiceawards on Instagram. Some posts say we were used as promotion and that the producers get to pick who wins, depending on who's coming. 

       I agree with this, I think that all awards are rigged in someway. I remember the MTV Movie Awards with the #votekatniss and #votetris and #voteveronicamars and ect. When voting time was supposed to end #votekatniss was in the lead, but the producers let it on longer to let #votetris win as Jennifer wasn't attending the awards and they wanted someone to accept the award and since Shailene was there, they wanted her to come and accpet the awards. This made so mad.  

    I don't think producers get how hard we vote for our favourite movies, characters and ect. Without us voting, there wouldn't be any of these awards. We vote day and night, and in the end they pick who they want to win, which is terrible. This should be like against the law or something. 

      And also when a group wins, how come everyone gets a surfboard? I thought it was one surfboard for everyone. I also don't really like the idea of them bringing in the YouTuber award group. What do you guys think about this? Do you think this true or a rumour? Do you like the new YouTuber category or not? Tell me in the comments!

Here are some pictures from the Teen Choice Awards! 

And I saved the funniest for last! 

 

Who know President Snow had humour! ;D

I hope you guys enjoyed my Teen Choice Award blog post! Don't forget to comment what you thought about his years Teen Choice.

Who is she playing?

Hey guys! So just about a couple of minutes ago a twitter account called Superhero Report posted a tweet, reading this caption. 

"Exclusive: Jena Malone (Hunger Games) cast in "Batman V Superman". #HYPE!." 

When I first saw this tweet I was like is this true or is this some kind of joke and so I searched it on Google (Isn't Google the best?!), and nothing came up about it. (I thought Google was the best.) Just kidding, let me get to the point. 

     This picture was posted from the Superhero Report twitter account of Jena apparently on the BvS set. 

Do you guys think this is true or is this just another one of those rumours that get fans super excited but never happens? 

    If it is true, I wonder character she would play? Who knows? She was amazing playing Johanna in Catching fire so it would be really nice to see her in BvS

    I'll update you guys when there is more! 

Hope you guys enjoyed my blog post! 

      xoxo Shanene 

Mockingjay posters? Mockingjay Posters.

Sorry for the cheesy title, I have to come up with better ones! So yesterday new Mockingjay-Part 1 posters came out. There were six, Effie, Beetee, Finnick, Haymitch, Plutarch and Coin. I was over the moon, when they came out. The thing I was wondering about is where is Katniss and Gale? A Hunger Games fan twitter account did post this tweet.

The tweet made wonder are we getting a Katniss ones today? I hope so.

Here are the Mockingjay posters!

My favorite one out of all of them is the Effie one. Even with a grey outfit she can still throw in some capitol pieces in there. The poster that caught my eye was  President Coin's as she had the Mockingjay symbol behind her. I would have expected Katniss with the Mockingjay symbol behind her not with President Coin. I like that it's very just grey with the characters behind the wall, also the only writing you see on the wall is 13 and their names. 

           If we do get a Katniss one today, what do you think it will look like? Do you think it will be different to the other ones? I have this image in my head that Katniss will be standing on the left side instead of the right to show that she's rebelling. And I hope she's wearing her pin and she has her braid.

      I hope you guys enjoyed my post! Don't forget to comment your opinions on the poster. Also I changed my blog a little, I'll have a poll on the side of this page, to see whether you guys like my new blog changes or not, I'd really like to hear your opinions.

            xoxo Shanene!
