New Movie Preview : The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

     I know it's been a while since I have put up a post but life has been keeping me busy. I do promise more movie reviews, top ten lists, Netflix film updates and a site update in the coming weeks.

     While there have been other previews that have come up that have caught my eye and will have a super-sized preview post later this week, one preview has been long awaited since its teaser from Comic Con.


     In The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I, after surviving the Quarter Quell, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) finds herself in the hidden District 13. Under the leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss embraces her role as the Mockingjay as she tries to rescue Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) from the clutches of The Capitol and President Snow (Donald Sutherland).

     In this preview, we see all of the characters from the previous films taking their place in the war against The Capitol. Most of our favorite characters like Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) and Effie (Elizabeth Banks) are more like refugees now, embracing the dark times they have entered. President Snow looks more sinister during his video conversation with Katniss. Peeta looks chillingly calm in his Capitol attire as he instructs the resistance to surrender and giving Katness a reason to fight.

     A war-torn country, exploding arrows, and a symbol to lead a resistance against the government. This penultimate chapter of The Hunger Games Saga has all the makings to be better than its predecessor.

     Panem's war comes to theaters November 21.
