A book began the bond of a lifetime...

Today on Throwback Thursday, we are sharing with you Jaime's Hunger Games Exhibit experience!

I traveled across the country to see all the hunger games props. From Reno, NV to NYC. I couldn't wait to get there and see it all this was my most anticipated stop during my whole 2 week trip.

My most favorite item was the Catching Fire wedding dress, if you think it's amazing on screen it's beyond amazing in person.

My hubby went ahead to see how much more was left and came to say that only 1 room remained and that I would probably spend an hour in that room alone.

I also loved seeing the original mockingjay pin. I loved seeing the reaping outfits of Katniss and Prim.

The chariot with the costumes were beautiful.

The mockingjay dress was beautiful. I loved every part of my experience.

I also plan to go again when it's held in California.

This is a great experience for all Hunger Games fans, I highly recommend this exhibit!

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 is the highly anticipated sequel to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. At the end of Catching Fire we left Katniss after she had just done the most rebellious act to date-shot an arrow at the quarter quells arena, blowing it to pieces. We also leave knowing that Peeta is now in the hands of the capital-what will befall him? Mockingjay starts with Katniss in District 13, with one goal on her mind. Getting Peeta back to safety.

I had my doubts when it came to Mockingjay, to me it is the weakest book in the series and I wasn't completely sure that they needed to split it into two films. I thought they could cut down most of the first part-what I call the boring half-and give us more action from the second half of the book. Oh my gosh am I thankful that they are splitting it into two movies. They somehow made the first half of the book really entertaining. I was on the edge of my seat from the start of the film. Halfway through I was glad that they had made it two films because they were able to show us parts of the story that we miss in the book. As a fan of the book and the story that is The Hunger Games I was very pleased with everything that they put into the movie.

Francis Lawrence--be still my heart. He is one of my all time favorite directors and his work with The Hunger Games series has only made me love him even more. He has such precise camera angles-he makes you feel everything the characters feel. If they are uncomfortable he gets the camera right up in the actors space so the audience feels uncomfortable. There are multiple times when he uses this technique-and not to just make you feel uncomfortable; to also make you feel sadness, anger, despair and excitement. One of my favorite things about this film is the editing, don't judge. I want to be an editor one day and so I take notice in the way a scene gets put together. The tiny details not many people notice. The sound editing within this movie was phenomenal. There were multiple times when I wanted to applaud the work of the audio editors because the sound was always on point. From my own personal experience sound editing is one of the most difficult tasks to take on, and for me that was not an issue within this film.

A lot of talk has been going around about Jennifer Lawrence and how she is a horrible singer. This is mainly coming from her. And once you see this movie you will realize that she is a liar. Her singing was beautiful and it was perfect for the feeling of the scene. When she sang "The Hanging Tree" I got chills and almost cried. This to me was one of the most powerful parts of the whole film, it brought every aspect of the film together and, to me, made me realize the enormity of what was really happening. Of course I am a crybaby while watching films, and this one was no different. I cried three or four times just because of how perfect it was, how similar to the book it was, and just the performances from the actors alone. I could bore you with all the perfect performances within this film, from Jennifer to Julianne Moore, but I would rather you experience their performances for yourself.

#THG Mockingjay — Part 1: Effie and Haymitch Make a Plan

Today, Yahoo! Movies shared an exclusive clip from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1.

Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) seizes control of a very nifty looking electronic whiteboard to address the assembled brain trust, including Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch, Julianne Moore as President Coin, Liam Hemsworth as Gale, Mahershala Ali as Boggs, and Elizabeth Banks as Effie. “Let’s everybody think of one incident where Katniss Everdeen genuinely moved you,” Haymitch says, while a mildly skeptical Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) looks on. The command structure of the rebellion doesn’t have much to offer, but an eager, dress-downed Effie certainly does.
