  • Prepare For The New Hunger Games Starring Viola Davis

    Prepare For The New Hunger Games Starring Viola Davis

    This prequel to

    The Hunger Games

    Focuses on Coriolanus Snow at age 18, years before he would become the tyrannical President of Panem. Young Coriolanus is handsome and charming, and although the Snow family has fallen on hard times, he sees a chance for a change in his fortunes when he is chosen to be a mentor for the Tenth Hunger Games. However, his elation is dashed when he is assigned to mentor the girl tribute from impoverished District 12.

    The story takes place around the 10th annual Hunger Games. Coriolanus, much to his chagrin, is picked to be a mentor to Lucy Gray Baird, a young female tribute from the impoverished District 12.

    After Lucy Gray captures all of Panem’s attention by defiantly singing during the reaping ceremony, Snow thinks he might be able to turn the odds in their favor. Uniting their instincts for showmanship and newfound political savvy, Snow and Lucy race against time to survive, ultimately revealing who is a songbird and who is a snake.

    “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes”

    Is a dystopian action-adventure that serves as both a spin-off and a prequel to The Hunger Games trilogy.

    Viola Davis will play Volumnia Gaul, the villainous head gamemaker of the 10th annual Hunger Games. Volumnia is a scientist and instructor at the university Snow attends. She is also the mastermind behind the Capitol’s experimental weapons division.

    Set in the universe of The Hunger Games, the prequel takes place 64 years before the first installment.

    The trailer opens with a familiar song, one that sounds more haunting this time around: Zegler’s rendition of

    “The Hanging Tree”.

    The prequel reveals that the song originates from none other than Lucy Gray. Music, of course, plays a more prominent role in the prequel, given the songbird’s Covey background.

  • Ezra Miller Reprises His Role As “Flash”

    Ezra Miller Reprises His Role As “Flash”

    All superheroes definitely wear capes. This superhero film, based on the DC character Flash, is definitely one you must see.

    Barry Allen(Ezra Miller) uses his super speed to change the past, but his attempt to save his family creates a world without superheroes, forcing him to race for his life in order to save the future.

    After helping Bruce Wayne/Batman and Diana Prince/Wonder Woman stop a robbery in Gotham City, Barry Allen revisits his childhood home, where he lived with his parents Nora and Henry before Henry’s wrongful imprisonment for Nora’s murder.

    On the day of her death, Nora sent Henry to the grocery store for a can of tomatoes that she forgot to buy, leaving her alone in the kitchen, resulting in her being killed by an unidentified assailant.

    Overcome by emotions, Barry accidentally uses the Speed Force to form a

    “Chronobowl”

    And travel back in time earlier in the day. Despite Bruce’s warnings of time travel’s unintended consequences, Barry time travels and places the can of tomatoes in Nora’s cart at the store so that his father will not have to leave the house.

    As he returns to the present, Barry is knocked out of the Chronobowl by an unknown speedster and ends up in 2013 where Nora is alive. He encounters his parents, his past self, and realizes this is the day he originally obtained his powers.

    Barry reverts the timeline and comes to terms with his mother’s death; however, he subtly alters the past by moving the tomato cans to a higher shelf. Returning to the present day, Barry attends Henry’s court hearing, where the security footage now reveals Henry looking up to grab the tomato can, allowing for his exoneration.

    After returning to the present, Barry is contacted by Bruce, whose appearance has changed once again as a result of the timeline alteration.

    This is definitely a must-watch. I definitely do not want to spoil all the fun in this one, so hurry up, clique. This is one you cannot miss.
