WORST MOVIE EVER. Honestly that is all I have to say about Legally Blond 2. 

Rating 

I'm giving Legally Blond 2: Red, White and Blond a 0 out of 5.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Not so long ago, I think it was Wednesday a teaser trailer for the sequel to Avengers Assemble was released. In this new clip we get a glimpse of the Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and none other than Ultron. This teaser trailer shows us a moody side of the new movie compared to the first one. The background music gives it an even more moody atmosphere. We can still tell that there is more trouble. Some Avengers still don't get along with each other. Ultron seems like a really cool character even though he is the villain, he just has this mysterious vibe that makes you so attached to find out more. I can't wait to see this movie next month in the summer! Here is the clip for y'all!

And last but not least the new Mockingjay clips! Doritos released two clips for Mockingjay-Part 1 ahead of it release next month. 

Here's TV Spot 1: http://youtu.be/HiPV3QD1NT4

And here's TV Spot 2: http://youtu.be/63m_kSq1upA

The thing that made my heart break was seeing Peeta in the first one beaten up and in the second one crying. I hope the movie is as good as these clips. The press will begin next week so hopefully we will get more clips and stills! 

  That's all for this week guys! I hope you enjoyed my posts. I can't wait to post next week because one it's halloween, two it's gonna be November and mostly I'm seeing the Maze Runner with my two best friends so that's going to be one pretty busy weekend. I can't wait to share it with you! Don't forget to comment and tell me what you are dressing up as for Halloween. See y'all next week.          

 

I'm a Princess cut from marble.🎶

Hey hey guys! I hope y'all are doing fine! So this week I'm not posting a movie review. As you know The Hunger Games have released so much Mockingjay-Part 1 news, so I decided to give it it's own post this week. Also I haven't done one of these kind of posts in a long time. 

       I'll be talking about the song by Lorde called Yellow Flicker Beat, the new one minute clip that was released and also the press dates for Mockingajy have been announced and the new game! 

       I hope you guys enjoy it and don't forget to comment your opinion on any of  the three headings I'm writing about or all of them :D . 

Yellow Flicker Beat and Hanging Tree

So not so long ago Lorde released a song for the Mockingjay-Part 1 soundtrack called Yellow Flicker Beat. Lorde is also the person who is in charge of the soundtrack. Here is the link for the video if you haven't seen it yet! 

http://youtu.be/e1S9HUNoI4k

In my opinion this song is......AMAZING. I think it really suits the element of MJ-Part 1. My favourite line from the song is 

"And I'm locking up everyone who laid a finger on me" 

I like this one because it shows that Katniss is tired of people telling her what to do all the time she's ready to do what she wants. 

I love the tune, I can't wait to hear the rest of the soundtrack. 

On the soundtrack I really hope that there's Sia and Imagine Dragons because their songs last year on the Catching fire soundtrack "Who we are" and Elastic heart" were so catchy. They were my favourite. Tell me your opinions on the song! 

Also this news about Hanging Tree came out yesterday 

I'm really excited to hear "The Hanging Tree" and to hear Jennifer's a cappella. I'm so happy that Francis decided to keep it in. 

There are rumours that the MJ-Part 1 soundtrack songs will be released on 24th October and The Hanging Tree score is confirmed to be coming out November 24. Just remember the soundtrack news is a RUMOUR! 

District 12

The Hunger Games released a teaser clip on Wednedsay/Thursday of Katniss in District 12. Here's the deal, they didn't decide to release it straight away, they wanted everyone to tweet #unlockmockingjay and get it to 100 precent. We ended up getting it to 100 and whoever tweeted the hashtag The Hunger Games tweeted to you. Here is what they said as they twetteed me! 

As you know I was obviously bouncing of the walls. I texted my bff aka pig Beatrish at 4.30am. They tweeted the majority of people who typed #unlockmockingjay. I honestly didn't even think I would be noticed by them and this isn't the first time, they favourited on of my tweets, the guy who plays Castor replied to me (I posted that before) and one of the actress who plays Katniss' stylist retweeted on my my tweets. 

   Here's the link if you want to watch it! 

http://youtu.be/t6srDbQqlss

The clip shows Katniss walking through the District 12 rubble and at the end Katniss is in for a surprise. I'm so hyped for next month to see the movie and all the premiers and look what Francis tweeted!!!!

How exciting? I can't wait to see what Francis  has done with MJ-Part 1 as I was very very VERY impressed with Catching Fire. 

Press Dates

Lionsgate have released the press dates and who is coming I think on Thursday. They are starting on November 1. 

1 November- Beijing

Review 

I read the book and got really attached to it, and wanted to see the movie. This movie is really interesting, it didn't really change that much from the book in the movie. The actors and actresses were really good. I didn't get bored at all. The ending was one of my favourite scenes. I did get confused between Wanderer and Melanie while reading the book, like who was talking but not so much in the movie. 

Rating 

I'm going to give The Host a 4 out of 5. 

I hope you guys enjoyed another one of my movie reviews, sorry that this one was a little shorter than my usual ones. I'll write a round-up of movie news and a review next week!

Review 

Overall I thought this movie was ok. It was fun but it wasn't as funny or interesting as the first one. I just felt like they made a Rio 2 because they felt like they needed. I feel that they just decided to come up with this really boring plot, and that they rushed it.  The movie for me went by really fast and I almost fell asleep, unlike the first one which was amazing and the plot was really good. The only scene I really enjoyed out of all of the movie that attracted me was when Nico, Pedro, and Rafeal held auditions. That scene made me laugh the most.

Casting News

The Scorch trial the second book in The Maze Runner trilogy, has cast their Aris, Brenda and Jorge!!  

This is our Aris being played by Jacob Lofland. When I saw him, I didn't think he was the right choice. I expected Aris to be shorter  and his hair a bit shorter than this. I wasn't really happy with this, but I should wait until next September to see what he will bring to the character Aris, before I can say he is a bad actor, I think Wes knows what he is doing. 

Brenda is being played by Rosa Salazar. I was happy with this casting as I imagined Brenda looking like this. I have a positive feeling she will do good as Brenda and her and Thomas will have a very good connection on screen. I can't wait to see what she will bring to the character Brenda! 

And last but not least we have out Jorge! 

This casting news is the most recent one I have heard about The Scorch Trials. Giancarlo Esposito is playing the "Crank" (putting quotations marks because if you have read the Death Cure you will known why) Jorge. I'm ok with this casting, I think he will make a perfect Jorge. I just think he seems too nice to play Jorge. Giancarlo seems like such a sweet and joyful guy, but if he's playing the villain on Breaking Bad, then I think he will do just fine as Jorge. And also I thought Jorge would be in his middle twenties leading up thirties. No later than thirty-five, which surprised me a lot. 

They will start shooting The Scorch Trials during October near the end in New Mexico!! What scene are you most excited for? I am really excited for the "Rose took my nose I suppose" scene as the atmosphere is really scary and James describe their description so clearly. I hope they have that scene in the movie.   

So that's all for this weeks blog post on Movieswithshanene! What do you guys think about the casting news tell me your opinions and and tell what you thought of Rio 2 if you have seen it! Tell me in the comments below. 

       See y'all next week
