Film Review: The Hunger Games
“That is mahogany!!” – Was probably the most memorable lines in the film from dear Effie Trinket. Well, maybe I’m not on my own, but I was very impressed with the film adaptation.

Film Review: The Picture of Dorian Gray
Suspenseful, gothic, worth the watch. Unfortunately, I was disappointed and these three comments don’t satisfy the atrocity of the film. Confusing, full of sex and a waste of my time.
