And here's to another batch of movies. I'm officially a movie buff.
P.S. I Love You. 2007. This rom-com revolves around Holly (Hilary Swank) and Gerry (Gerard Butler). When Gerry died of brain tumor, Holly had a hard time moving until letters from Gerry were sent to her and does whatever the letter says. I got to say, this is one of the best rom-coms that I have ever watched. Not the greatest, but one of the best. It is a originally a novel written by Cecelia Ahern. The story was very unique of a rom-com. Imagine a dead husband still sending letters to his wife who had a hard time moving on. And with these letters, she ventured on many things. She lost her job, found another, went to places, get rid of things, bought new things and the like. The music was great as well. The background songs were very well chosen. I like the main song that the actors were singing. The actors. Well, they pulled off a great performance. You can feel their emotions, especially Hilary Swank. They can make you believe everything happened. I give this film 92%.
Hunger Games. 2012. Set in a dystopic era, this novel-turned movie explores the life Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and how she played during the 74th Hunger Games. I've personally read the book before watching the movie so as not to spoil myself, I imagined myself not having read the book yet. Great plot of the film, I have to say that it was faithful to the novel. They either had portrayed what I imagined, and/or exceeded my expectations. I know that the director made that sure, so as not to disappoint many fans of the book out there. Except for the costume Katniss and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) wore during the parade. I thought otherwise. The actors were also great. Leading them is Jennifer Lawrence with her exceptional portrayal of Katniss. The music was very well made. I cannot wait for it's sequel, Catching Fire. I grade this film 90%.

Across the Universe. 2007. Set during the Vietnam war, this musical film exploring a British man's life when he stepped foot to America. Jude (Jim Sturgess) who aboarded to USA went in search of his father. There he met Max (Joe Anderson), and Max's sister Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood). From their place, they went to New York to discover life more. This film features songs written by the Beatles so except some singing to be done. I must say, the plot is a little disoriented and there are a bit unnecessary scenes in the film. There are too much characters being introduced here and there. The songs chosen were great considering the big song book of the Beatles. Great arrangements of the song as well. The actors were good both in singing and in acting. I give this film 85%.
