The Hunger
Games was a huge box office hit two years ago. Millions of people watch Katniss
Everdeens fight for survival against other children. It was a cruel game for
the rich for the simple sake of enjoying themselves. A brutal world as portrayed
in other media like “Battle Royal”. The novel adaptation was decent at best,
but for the second installment everything is different. Most prominent change was
the director from Gary Ross to Francis Lawrence. Who thought this would change
everything about the movie… in the best ways!

The Legend of Korra: Book 2 - Spirit
The Legend
of Korra was the successor of the beloved Airbender series and took my heart by
storm with his young adult content, resolving a strong female lead character
who also had a fragile side. We were by her side as she fell in love and fought
against a villain that had the power to take everything away from her.
Therefore I had high expectations that the second season would be great and
remove the only flaw of the first season: a rushed Deus-Ex Machina ending. Don’t
get me wrong. The second season is good but it was the worst of all Airbender
ones by far and here are my reasons:

Thor: The Dark World - Movie Review
Some years
ago Thor fought against Loki with his Avenger Friends destroying nearly half of
New York. Now he is back again to fight a new evil villain with his beloved
brother who tries to destroy the whole universe. What could possibly go wrong
on the journey of these two gods? A lot of things and that’s why this movie is
the best marvel one so far… and of course because Loki plays a major role.
Actually its only because of Loki. They should have named the movie “Loki and a
bit of Thor” instead.

The Fifth Estate - Movie Review
Another
month with discussion about the NSA, the perfect time to release a movie about
leaking confidential information of governments and terrorist groups to declare
the truth. The movie is quite a bit Anti-USA, like it was the case with Edward
Snowden. It's no surprise that the movies failed to gain a standing with US audience.
Most people have heard about Wilileaks and the biggest scoops they did in the
history of mankind, but do you know what happened behind the scenes? This movie
will tell you about it in a dramatic way in the viewpoint of one of its
members.
