First Full Length Trailer for ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2′

Rosemary Vega — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 15:19:28 +0000

The first full length trailer for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2″ has finally arrived. In the final installment of the “The Hunger Games,” Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) leads a revolution against the Capitol and President Snow (Donald Sutherland).

In the trailer, we hear President Snow say “I’ve been watching you, and you watching me. My dear Miss Everdeen, make no mistake, the game is coming to it’s end.” As the plans begin to be made for the revolution, Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin) tells Katniss “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 76th Hunger Games.” We see lots of action, Katniss and her team from Distric 13 running from what we can only assume are traps made by the Capitol to kill. Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) seems to be back to his old self. At the end of Part 1 we saw Peeta try to kill Katniss after being brainwashed by the Capitol. But the trailer shows a hug between the two as we hear him say, “Our lives were never ours. They belong to snow and our deaths do too. But if you kill him Katniss, if you end all of this, all those deaths, they mean something.”

The film will hit theaters on November 20, 2015.

87th Academy Award Nominations: Snubs and Surprises

Rosemary Vega — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 05:37:06 +0000

The Academy announced the nominees for this years Oscars, and as usual, didn’t exactly hit the mark. While most of the nominees were no brainers- Reese Witherspoon, “Boyhood,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Birdman”- there were still some omissions and additions that were certainly unexpected.

Laura Dern’s nomination for Best Supporting Actress for “Wild” had the audience in gasps as the announcement was made. Other than Reese Witherspoon’s work in the film, “Wild” hasn’t received much praise. Golden Globe winner Amy Adams (“Big Eyes”) and strong contender Jennifer Aniston (“Cake”) were snubbed for Best Actress nods, allowing Marion Cotillard to sneak up for her work in the French language “Two days, One Night.” Despite not even getting a Golden Globe nomination, Bradley Cooper is up for Best Actor for “American Sniper,” his third nomination in a row.

Angelina Jolie received no praise for directing “Unbroken.” But in the male dominated category (Aren’t they all?), Jolie was not the only woman left behind. Despite “Selma” receiving a Best Picture nod, Ava DuVernay was shut out of the Best Director category. The film also received a nomination for John Legend and Common’s original song, “Glory,” but nothing else. David Oyelowo, who received high praise for his performance as Martin Luther King Jr in the film, was let out of the Best Actor nominees. Philip Lord’s “The Lego Movie” was one of the most successful animated films last year, was met with rave reviews, and received a Golden Globe nomination, but was noticeably absent from the Best Animated Feature list. At least Lord had a great response:

It's okay. Made my own! pic.twitter.com/kgyu1GRHGR

Even though there were disappointments, nine actors received their very first Oscar nominations! Steve Carell, Benedict Cumberbatch, Eddie Redmayne, Michael Keaton, Felicity Jones, Rosamund Pike, Emma Stone, J.K. Simmons, and Patricia Arquette are all first timers, meanwhile, Meryl Streep received her 19th nomination. Emma Stone’s reaction to the news was by far, the best ever. In a statement, Emma said, “Thank you to the Academy for this incredible honor. I am very proud and lucky to be a part of Birdman and can’t believe it came to this. I am so f–king excited. Are you allowed to say f–k when you’re making a statement for the Oscars? I’m just really f–king excited.”

Rosemary Vega — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 19:51:40 +0000

The past week, Hollywood Blvd. has been crowded beyond normal. Replacing the tourists were filmmakers, critics, and eager movie goers, all catching various films at AFI Fest. The American Film Institute’s annual festival highlights master and emerging filmmakers from all over the world. As well as showing the 120 films selected for competition, AFI had special screenings, galas and tributes. This year, Oscar buzz worthy films “Foxcatcher,” (Steve Carell and Channing Tatum, directed by Bennett Miller) and “Still Alice” (Julianne Moore, directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland) were among the many non-competition films treated to audience.

While jury and audience awards are not new to film festivals, the audience award from AFI is slightly different from other fests. AFI offers free tickets to the public, allowing any movie lover the chance to watching rate the films. This year, “The Midnight Swim,” was honored with the Breakthrough Audience Award. The film, written and directed by Sarah Adina Smith, blurs the line between ghost story and family drama. After their mother goes missing in Spirit Lake, three sisters come together to settle her affair. On their first night, the sisters, played by Lindsay Burdge, Jennifer Lafleur and Aleksa Palladino, try to conjure a spirit, leading their relationship to unravel as they are led deep into the mystery of the lake.

“Red Army,” “Gueros,” and “10,000 KM” also took home audience awards.

First Look: Julianne Moore as President Coin in “Mockingjay”

Rosemary Vega — Fri, 16 May 2014 00:38:34 +0000

Hunger Games fans rejoice! Lionsgate has released a first look at Julianne Moore as President Alma Coin in “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1″. Moore ditched her signature red locks and green eyes for Coin’s grey stare and mane. A second photo shows Coin with Plutarch Heavensby, played by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. The film, also starring Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, is set for release in November.

Lionsgate also released an interview with Moore, in which she talks about The Hunger Games, and her role. Check it out below!

Julianne Moore Cast In Mockingjay

Rosemary Vega — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:49:59 +0000

Lionsgate announced today that four-time Academy Award nominee, Julianna Moore, was cast as President Alma Coin in “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2.” These installments are slated to be released in November of 2014 and November 2015, respectively.

President Alma Coin is president of District 13, and the leader of the rebellion. Although her and Katniss are on the same side, Katniss dislikes President Coin for her ruthlessness and hunger for power. President Coin would do anything to undermine President Snow, including killing children and her own Medical Corps. She is described as being in her 50s, with grey hair and eyes, and looks as though “all the color was sucked away,” according to Katniss.

Julianne Moore seems the perfect fit for President Coin, minus her red hair. But nothing some hair dye (or a wig?) can’t fix.
