Mockingjay Part 2 (2015)

-

Jennifer Lawrence is the highest paid or most valuable star, making RDJ only the second highest paid.  Is she worth it? 

She's a very effective actor and I like her, but I think Hollywood is overdoing it.  Did she do justice to Katniss?  Of course she did, but...

Mockingjay Part 2 was OK, but I did not appreciate it as much as I did Part 1.  When it was over, I was just glad it was, making me almost tell my friends I wouldn't want to watch it again, but I made a promise to watch it with them soon.  Who knows?  Maybe I'll like it better the second time around.

It's not bad.  I like it too, but for a finale, I kind of expected something greater...something out of the ordinary.

(I'll be watching this again on the 30th of November.  I'll create a separate blog entry to update you if the second time around is indeed "sweeter".)

From  Pep.ph Sigh.  I have separation anxiety #sepanx with this series that I have grown to love.  It had its off days, but MOST of the time, the scenes are exciting, putting me to the edge of my seat, giving me cheap thrills, or making me laugh.   There are times when I get traumatized by a scene or two, that I have to play the piano first before doing my research or anything else...or for me to have happy thoughts before sleeping.  That's how effective the script and execution are.  Or else, why should it be so real to me when I know that it is only a work of fiction? It's not really advisable for people who have PTSD to watch this, according to my friends who tried watching this, but couldn't because it was so convincing that they had to undergo cleansing rituals  so-to-speak before becoming OK.  If the very supposedly harmless COCOON could do that to people with mental health issues, then I guess something like this that is so...

source Elzar "Dodjie" Simon is not really a stranger to me.  He was my brother's boss in ATI, and he was one of the many invited guests who was able to celebrate with us during my brother and sister-in-law's wedding in 1998.  My brother only has praises for him. I was excited to meet him again last 14 July 2016, but it coincided with CURTAINS UP , so I just joined my family in Spirit. A.I. HACKED The book has been receiving rave reviews ever since it was launched so when I saw on the author's FB page that he was having a book signing event at Fully Booked's The Studio at 11th Street, BGC, I was psyched.  A few days after I learned about it my brother announced that we were going, and he has already ordered one paperback and one hardbound.  I thought one was mine, but it turned out it was for my dad, but it's OK.  My parents live with me, and my dad read books one-by-one, and now he is still reading my former Pastor(Richard Mirpuri)'s Glimp...
