Trailer 1 of The Hunger Games – Mocking Jay Part 2 arrives and it’s clear that the makers had the word ‘epic.’ in mind.
Huge fans of the franchise will be overjoyed and might even scream. I’m not the biggest fan so I didn’t, but I’s fully understand.
The Hunger Games – Mocking Jay Part 2 Release Dates: November 18th, 2015 (US); November 19th, 2015 (UK)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Joy (2015.
‘Find people you like working with and work with them whenever possible‘. These are words that probably came out of acclaimed Director David O. Russell’s mouth at some point, for here comes another movie starring his two favourite actors, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.
Add Robert De Niro and you’ve got the cast of Silver Linings Playbook (2012), O’Russell’s Oscar-winning 2012 movie.
O’Russell’s latest biography/drama, Joy is the story of a family across four generations, and the woman who rises to become founder and matriarch of a powerful family business dynasty.
Based on the trailer, it looks filled with trying times for the family but I’m looking forward to seeing Lawrence’s character make sweet, sweet lemonade out of it all.

After last month’s release of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2 teaser trailer, I thought we’d see approximately 2 more trailers before the November release date. Not so, because here comes, yes, another teaser.
No one is going to blame you if the following thoughts went through your head as you watched.
Before deciding to patiently (not so patiently) wait for November, you first need to stop imagining the people in white performing a very impressive street dance routine and Katniss Everdeen lip synching lyrics that include the words, ‘red’, ‘white’ and ‘unite’.
Good luck with that.

Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Sam Claflin, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson and Woody Harrelson, the trailer for the final instalment of The Hunger Games films is here.
In this Francis Lawrence-directed finale, one thing is clear, President Snow’s reign must end.
I really do hope that it’s a spectacle as exciting as can be.
Also, how true is the idea that President Snow is probably the worst possible Santa Claus anyone could ever imagine?
Elizabeth Banks, Donald Sutherland and Julianne Moore also star.

Directed by David O. Russell crime/drama American Hustle is good, and Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence plus Jeremy Renner are all great in their roles.
However, I did find myself not as hooked as the story unfolded – at least not early on.
It’s not that plenty wasn’t happening – and at a good pace. It’s likely that I just didn’t identify with or get especially attached to any of the characters. Things did improve, particularly at the moment ‘Edith’s veil’ comes down.
Watch it if you’re curious about the story of a con man trying to keep the upper hand and stay alive when forced to work with the FBI in 1970s New Jersey.
