☆The Fault In Our Stars(Movie Review)★

*Read with caution! Spoilers ahead!*
Hello my beautiful readers! Today I'm going to review the film adaptation of The Fault In Our Stars. First off this movie is about a 16-year-old girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster, who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She is forced by her parents to attend a cancer patient support group, where she meets and falls in love with Augustus Waters. I give this movie a ranking of 5.5 out of 5 stars because Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort were excellent choices for the main roles and they didn't look like 20-something-year-olds trying to play teenagers. They also did a great make-up job for Shailene's character because I don't like it when they put too much make-up on a character that isn't supposed to have any on. I disliked that they didn't include some scenes in the movie but left them as deleted scenes, which I didn't want but it still was a great film. Also when they tried acting out these beautiful quotes from the novel I found it cheesy because I thought it could work but it didn't look right in reality. Most of the scenes with Hazel and Augustus were absolutely beautiful but some scenes felt a little too much romance. Regardless this adaptation from the book is true to the story and I would recommend a friend to come over and watch this film. Don't forget if you haven't already read my review for the book The Fault In Our Stars, I will leave a link below.

✿Perks of Being A Wallflower (Movie Review)✿

*Please read with caution! Spoilers ahead!*
Hello my lovely readers! Once again I'm going to review another movie I will be reviewing the movie adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being A Wallflower. Before I give my final ranking, I would like to address a couple of my opinions towards this movie. The plot of the story is about finding yourself and being able to fit in. If you haven't read the book I would suggest that you read my review to get a further understanding of the movie. Which will be listed below at the end of this review. The plot is still reflected from the story but like many movie adaptions that were based off of a book some scenes have to be cut. In this case, I felt that the movie stayed true to the book because Stephen Chbosky in fact directed his book into a movie adaptation. Also the movie had a talented cast because of Logan Lerman and the beautiful Emma Watson. In the movie I felt that the main character, Charlie, was portrayed as a mature teenager but in the book Charlie is a little childish instead of being mature. Regardless, I had no problem with any of the other cast members. The cinematography for this film was beautiful because it stayed true to this vision that anyone who read the book would view how the book would play out as a movie. If that makes any sense. Also I would like to note that the film had a really good soundtrack that I fell in love with and would listen to it on repeat. As a result, I would give this movie a 5 out of 5 stars because of the points listed above. If you haven't watched this film please do I feel like anyone could relate to this coming of age story. I'm sorry this is a short review but I hope these posts make up for my absence earlier in the year.

➳Cathing Fire (Movie Review)➳

*Please read with caution! Spoilers ahead!*
I'm again sorry for delaying all my reviews but they will soon be up just stay patient. As we left off in the first movie Katniss and Peeta are the current victors of the last games and they return home to find that some things have changed. Such as being put back into the arena and creating a new strategy in the games. I found that it was hard to rank this movie because the movie adaptation is so close to the book but of course there are a few details that they didn't include. Such as the two escapees from District 8 stating their theory about District 13 and while Katniss is about to eat dinner with the mayor but views the uprising in District 8 before the dinner. These scenes are replaced by Katniss walking past the control room in the train they are on and views the uprising. Lastly when Katniss is dancing with the new game maker, he reveals a clue about the games which is a clock with a mockingjay and it wasn't included but the movie played it out with Wiress giving her a clue. Besides the fact that they didn't include these little details doesn't make it a bad movie. The entire cast was wonderful to watch and they did an outstanding job of playing their roles. Especially those who were returning to their roles. Compared to the first movie, I felt that the cinema photography changed in coloring by using brighter colors but keeping it dark so it could depict the storyline was real. As I have said before it is hard to rank this movie but based on what I have seen and known, I would rank this movie with the highest value, which is a solid 5 out 5 stars. Since I give this movie a high ranking value I expect the next movie to be as great as this one. I also anticipate the next to stay true to the book as well as continue where the last book and movie left off. I have high hopes for the next! Until then, be sure to follow me for more reviews.

➳The Hunger Games (Movie Review)➳

*Please read with caution spoilers ahead!*
Here is another book-to-movie film adaptation review and this one will be on The Hunger Games from the original novel by Suzanne Collins. This film is beautifully done and it starts with the reason of the games which plays a big role in the book and movie. The actors that play the part of the main cast is excellent and very realistic in the movie. As for the differences between the movie and book I can say they didn't include the Mayor and Mayor's daughter which they play a small role but at the same time a big role because the Mayor's daughter gave Katniss the mocking jay pin, which this symbol plays a significant role in all three books and the film didn't include it. They also made Katniss see Cinna die before the games, which isn't supposed to happen till the next book. Although they didn't include these things they can't include everything it's a book and it would make this film into a huge extension on the length of time. As for the tributes in this film they did a great job especially when it came to Rue's death it was very dramatic to watch and made it feel like it was realistic. As for all these costumes in the film they were excellent and stayed true to the book style especially Katniss's hair and clothing. Most of the scenes I personally liked were Katniss and Peeta moments, Kantiss hunting, and the ending of the games. My overall ranking on this movie is 5 and a half stars because most of the small things that weren't included bothered me a little but it was a good movie adaptation to the book. I will be reviewing more stuff soon and be sure to follow me on all things movie and book reviews.

ϟThe Lightning Thief (Movie Review)ϟ


*Please read with caution spoilers are ahead!*
The plot of the movie is about the same as the book but a lot of changes were made. Some of these changes include many of the characters are much older in the book and Percy is approaching his 16th birthday is a major plot point. Some of the minor characters are missing such as Clarisse, who is a secondary character. Also, in the book Percy doesn't discover his father is Poseidon until after his first capture the flag game. The quest doesn't involve gathering all three pearls during the journey, rather Percy receives them from a sea spirit once they reached L.A. Luke doesn't betray the camp until the very end when he introduces his new sword "backbiter" and poisons Percy with the scorpion. Other details in the film that weren't included is that Annabeth's hair was supposed to be blonde, the oracle,and Mr.D. I'm kinda disappointed about this film I expected it to go with the book but movies that are from books can't have everything. As for the actors choices they were great especially Logan Lerman as Percy which he portrayed outstanding because he brought this character to life and I can just say that I'm speechless with his role in the movie. As for the the rest of the cast members they did a great job. Other than that I would give this movie a 4.5 out 5 stars because minor details were left out but the movie was amazing to watch especially the fighting scenes and Mount Olympus looked amazing. The characters and monsters were portrayed well and I can only expect the best for the sequel. Be sure to follow for more movie and book reviews!

♞Breaking Dawn Part 2 (Movie Review)♘


*This review contains spoilers! You've been warned!*
On November 16,2012 the movie of Breaking Dawn Part 2 was released. I was lucky enough to see it on the premier date because I pre-ordered my tickets by the time the theater released them a month ahead. I know lets get on with the review right?
As we all know the last movie is left off from the part Bella wakes up from her transformation as a vampire. Which it does in this one after a long introduction of the characters and then we get to see how she hunts but becomes controlled when it comes to human blood. Throughout the movie I loved the humor and the scenes the director included. The scenes I loved most was the moments with Renesmee,the arm wrestling scene,and the scene when Alice sees Renesmee's future. One part of the film got me a little mad at,according to Kaleb Nation, Stephenie Meyer intended a twist on the confrontation between the Volturi and the witnesses for the Cullens. Which got everyone in the movie theater to get all jazzed up for. I knew it was going to be this scene but it almost made me re-think. As for the characters I loved all actors and actresses that played the different clans especially the Romanian duo. They portrayed them very well. As for the lead characters they were as always excellent. My rating on this movie is that I give it 5 out 5 stars because it was similar to the book and the actress who played Renesmee was amazing and proved everyone's theories on this impossible movie. I never thought that this movie would ever happen and I never could have imagined this movie. Thank you Stephenie Meyer for this book and the fandom! I will update soon and be sure to check out Breaking Dawn Part 2!
