Sherlock Update and the Hunger Games

Continuing on with my Sherlock obsession...
Again, not directly book related but we can stretch it and use our imagination and all that.
I've just stumbled upon a very, very awesome picture. And so I ask you: what can you see?
Isn't it awesome? And it was on a limited edition t-shirt! I'm so sad because I discovered it late... Do you think you can order a t-shirt with this design? admit it... you want one :P

Also, I finally watched the Hunger Games yesterday... I really quite liked it, yes they cut stuff out and all that, but they kind of had to if they wanted to fit it in the time frame. I wasn't happy with the mutts or the cornucopia but hey, what can you do?
What else shall I say?
Oh- Katniss is a poo... lying to Peeta and acting Oh so in love. But hey, we already know that from the book.
Gale was hilarious! The majority of the shots of him in the film were of him being very gloomy and depressed looking :D so, so funny. I swear I laughed every time his face came on.
What did you think?

Red Riding Hood Movie


So, I've just finished watching Red Riding Hood, the movie.
I read the book before the movie, and for those of you who haven't read my review, it's just here

^^^^^^ read before continuing :)

Ok. I repeat. ON. A. HUNCH!
I still can't get over that, and I probably never will.
Gah! I just can't believe she did that! She just--wait. I better stop or the majority of this post will be on Valerie's stupidity/ rashness/ brainlessness **deeps breaths**

So, I'm not sure which came first, the movie or the book... but I just want to say that half the book was cut out from the movie or the other way around if the book was adapted from the movie... I understand that in order for the movie to fit within the time limits, it needed to cut out stuff from the book. Yes. that is wholly acceptable. I wouldn't say that I liked the movie a lot, but i sure do prefer it to the book.

The movie was alright I suppose, though I found myself admiring the scenery more than the actual actors and acting.
But let me just say, the sets were gorgeous! the end credits were breathtaking! I absolutely love how the vivid red of Valerie's Hood contrasts with the snow, and the length of the fabric twisted in the wind. **sigh** gorgeous.
Me wants a red cloak :)

The acting was pretty average, nothing that would make your eye-balls pop out. But then again, this is coming from someone admiring the sets. :)
I do like how it all comes together in the end though, much more tidy than the endless-book. The flashes of memory, the ominous music, the gravelly voice of the father, these are things that the book couldn't quite show.

ok. that is all, if you have read the book I recommend watching the movie to compare.
If you've watched the movie, how'd you feel about it?
