Catching Fire (The Movie): The Long Wait Is Not Over Yet

catchingfireposterWhile I fell on queue to buy tickets for the movie Catching Fire, I grasped and recognized that finally the long wait is over for the release to the sequel movie of Hunger Games.  It was a long agonizing wait!  The feeling of patiently waiting for its commercial release here in the Philippines was basically the same when I was awaiting for the release of the book a couple of years ago.

The film is definitely entertainingly engrossing and absorbing!  I even wanted to press my left hand’s three middle fingers against my lips then raise it while inside the movie house when defiant revolutionary people of various Districts were raising theirs to show their opposition to President Snow and The Capitol.

I refuse to make a review of this movie since there have been tons of reviews and write-ups about Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark and this entertaining film.  Let me just say which part of the movie that I like most.

The best part of the movie for me was actually the end part of it.  It ends abruptly which will leave you wanting for more.  After being so engrossed watching on how the turn of events happened, the end part would make you realize and be reminded that the movie is a sequel awaiting a sequel.  The ending will simply haunt you.

If you think that the long wait is over, you definitely are mistaken.

Craving for Mockingjay

Five days before its worldwide release, I barged in at the metro’s most popular bookstore and tried my luck to inquire if Mockingjay is already available.  It is not in store yet but I was surprised to know that the ubiquitous book house is already accepting reservations at a price of two hundred pesos.  By paying the considerable price, I assured myself of getting my copy on the day of the release.  It made certain that Mockingjay will definitely fly and land on my arms.

Like my nephews and nieces I am very excited for the release of Mockingjay, the final book of the epic trilogy of The Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins.  I am freaking excited to know what will happen to Katniss, Gale and Peeta.  I am more than eager to discover about District 12 and how will the angry Capitol plot and stage its revenge to “the girl on fire”.  That is why the world can’t end yet on August 24 because I have to finish reading Mockingjay first before it should happen!

Freakin’ few days to go and the long wait is over.  I know it is ridiculous, but I want a happy ending.  Not like wack jack uber-happy, of course.  I just want to finish this amazing trilogy humming and skipping around the house rather than lying around depressed wondering what went wrong.  Call me weird but I’m not going to make any predictions.  All I can say without bias is that the ending I hope will not be all walking in a field of flowers.

Salamat at dadapo na ang Mockingjay!!!
