Honestly, what’s not to love about Mark Ruffalo? He is the perfect boy next door and seems to always pick some quality roles. Although I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that one of my favorites was him in 13 Going on 30 (I love that damn movie), I’m super excited to see him tackle the role of the Hulk in The Avengers next week. Mainly because I can’t wait to see him grappling with such a dark side.

This past weekend, I threw a Hunger Games themed birthday party for one of my closest friends, Lori. We gathered a group of hardcore fans of the book series and headed to see the film at Cinebistro with matching shirts that the hubs designed before heading over to our house to celebrate. I worked really hard on all the details, with help from the hubs and the bestie, and I was so happy with the way things turned out.
As for the movie, I think they did a good job. But, of course, a movie will never be as wonderful as a book. Never. Unfortunately, I think their biggest downfall was character development. There were a lot of relationships that were not delved into as they should have been and remained pretty superficial, but the acting was absolutely amazing. Jennifer Lawrence is my girl, yo.

Did this magazine cover give anyone else chills?
Jennifer Lawrence is the perfect Katniss.
Today is the day, Tributes.
Go forth, pillage local movie theaters, wear those pins proudly and don’t forget to wave a passionate three-fingered salute. Unfortunately, I have to wait until tomorrow night (torturous) to see the film, so please keep spoilers to a minimum but do feel free to gush about how wonderful it is.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
ps; I’ll be back next week with a full recap of our themed party, as well as my thoughts on the movie!
Parties aren’t the only ones that are being influenced by Suzanne Collins’ epic trilogy, the fashion world is also being inspired to pick up some bow and arrows and play along. I’m not complaining. I find arrows and birds to be beautiful touches to accessories, not only in the home, but also for wrist and neck candy. I personally want one of each of these lovelies, all found on Etsy, in case you are wondering. I am not beneath begging.
