Missing 2023

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 2015
i think in my last review for this i was simply exhausted and annoyed but ig yeah this deserves at least the same rating as mockingjay part 1. neither are particularly good films but it seems dumb to say this is the worse of the two. i’ve done a full 180 though and decided that the only thing i care about in the entire series is the katniss and peeta love story so the fact that they unnecessarily extended this…

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 2014
the only thing i remember about reading this is the absolute throw the book at the wall level fury at how nobody would leave katniss the fuck alone. this is a feeling that only got worse as it went on, as she lost more and more and more and finally when she lost you know who as the cherry on top. i truly wanted every single individual in the entire book dead if it meant she could get a moment…

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire 2013
this has a very rough start. aside from the victor’s tour this is nonsense until about an hour in. there’s a lot to set up, but it somehow manages to miss details while still feeling slow as hell, and the tonal shifts are absolutely insane. i feel like all of these issues could’ve been solved by having this be the book that got divided in two, especially because the moment they enter the arena it feels like a completely different…

The Hunger Games 2012
the fact that i had to wait til i was home alone to rewatch this bc i knew it would make me cry like a little bitch. this was probably my first experience as a teenager of watching a movie based on something i’d already read, so it’s got that sentimental/nostalgic power, but also putting aside the YA cheese it’s just genuinely disturbing and sad. kids intro to the violence of classism. to be honest these might be the only…

Mystery Road 2013
ivan sen is brilliant at what he does but i’ve gotta be honest with you, this weirdly lost tension towards the end, right at the point where it was supposed to be at its climax. still, the story was memorable and very real, and every performance added to that necessary feeling of groundedness. i’m about to watch goldstone next and i’m looking forward to see where this story/character goes next.

Annihilation 2018
pretty bonkers that this is a first time watch hey! anyways i kind of thought you guys might’ve just been gassing this up this whole time, especially bc i thought i’d already seen all the interesting parts of this movie (mostly the bear) in random clips on social media. turns out y’all were not lying!! kind of obsessed honestly!! also i’m devouring the book as we speak and i’ve gotta say, jennifer jason leigh does not get enough credit for…
