The Hunger Games

This week I watched the movie The Hunger Games. This movie is based on a novel The Hunger Games. Each year they take a boy and a girl from each of the twelve districts. The teens get cleaned up and they have to train for a couple of days. They have to impress people that are investors that help them throughout the game if they need it. In the game they have to fight each other and battle the elements too. The main girl is from district twelve and her name was Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) her family is very poor. Her father died in a mining accident. The boy is from district twelve and his name is Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) he works with his family at the bakery. His family is one of the wealthiest in district twelve.


I liked this movie, there was a lot of action in it and was kind of a drama. I think that people should see it. I didn't read the book, but I was told it follows the book pretty well.

21 Jump Street

This week I watched the movie 21 Jump Street. This movie is about two guys Morton Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Greg Jenko (Channing Tatum) who were class mate back in high school. They meet back up and they help each other get through the police academy. They both are screw up cops, that catch a drug dealer but forgot to read him his  Miranda rights. They both get into trouble over the deal and get sent down to the specialty unit on 21 Jump Street. They are both suppose to act like teenagers in high school to figure out who is making this new drug and make sure that it doesn't spread.

I liked this movie because it was funny but also had action in it. Some of the things they did were funny, but also did some stupid things. There wasn't a whole lot of action, but there were some intense points. It is a good movie and I would say watch it.

Silent House

This week I watched Silent House. Its about a girl named Sarah (Elizabeth Olsen) that is going out to her families lake house to fix up, because people destroyed it. She is there with her dad (Adam Trese) and uncle (Eric Stevens). She heard a knocking at the front door, and she saw someone there that said she was her childhood friend Sophia, but Sarah has no recollection of there friendship. Sophia said she would come back over later with some pictures of the two as children. Than some weird things started happening, and she thought someone was in the house trying to kill her and her dad.

This movie was good, but also very weird. It was hard to follow sometimes and really made you think. It wasn't as good as it could have been, and I probably wont ever watch it again. If you want to challenge your brain, watch it. If you want to watch a good movie, I suggest something besides this movie.

Act of Valor

This week I watched the movie Act of Valor. There are no actors in this movie, they are all real active navy SEALs, but the story line is not based off of true events. This movie is about a navy SEAL unit that is on a mission to get back a CIA agent, and stopping a terrorist from blowing up numerous places around the United States. It shows how a group of SEALs work, and survive together.  The two main guys in the movie are Lieutenant Rorke and Chief Dave, although these are not their real names. It shows how units watch each others back and are there for one another no matter what.

I really like this movie because of how it reveals what these people go through, and how they have to sacrifice their time and lives to keep us safe. If you watch this movie you might respect our soldiers more for what they do. Yes, I know this movie isn't based on a true story, but soldiers have gone through things like this. So I do say go see this movie.

Project X

This week I watched the movie Project X. This movie is about these three guys who throw a party. Thomas (Thomas Mann), who is the main character, is turning seventeen. His parents are going out of town so him and his two best friends Costa(Oliver Cooper) and J.B. (Jonathan Daniel Brown) throw a birthday party at Thomas's house. The party was supposed to be small, but it ends up being a huge out of control party. By the end of the night, they end up destroying his house and also the neighborhood.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was pretty funny. Most of the storyline was believable, although there were a few things that were an exaggeration of what would really happen. Overall I really liked this movie and would watch it again. If you like a funny movie then I recommend this movie. I think we need to throw a party like this.
