The question is: Is The Hunger Games still number 1?
My Week with Marilyn (2011)
Title: My Week with Marilyn
Based on the Books: My Week with Marilyn AND The Prince, the Showgirl and Me
Book By: Colin Clark
Director: Simon Curtis
Starring: Michelle Williams, Eddie Redmayne, and Kenneth Branagh
Rated: R
Released: 2011
Personal Rating: 4.5/5
Oscars: 2 Nominations
Basic Plot: Colin Clark, an employee of Sir Laurence Olivier's, documents the tense interaction between Olivier and Marilyn Monroe during production of The Prince and the Showgirl.
Made Me Slightly Interested in Marilyn Monroe
I had heard about Marilyn before, of course. But this movie gave me my first interest in her. This should be credited to Michelle Williams, as her acting is superb. Of course I'm not obsessed with her, by any means, but I am now interested in learning more about her.
Emma Watson
I am a Harry Potter fan. So, of course, I saw all the movies more than once (I highly abused Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince). And Emma Watson played Hermione Granger who is a book smart girl. It was nice to see her playing a completely different character. This shows that she's not limited to her Harry Potter fame, and can actually do shit!
Behind the Scenes
This movie focuses on some behind the scenes things. The main one deals with getting Marilyn Monroe able to act. And, really, that's what is being fought against in this film. But don't take that to mean that you'll learn much about what goes on behind the sets on movies.
Final Thoughts
This isn't the kind of movie I usually watch, nor am I that familiar with Marilyn. But, I still enjoyed the movie a lot! Michelle Williams and Emma Watson were both lookers in this movie. The music was good to set the mood and it was a good homage. I would highly suggest you see this movie. I'm sure those who think something is missing can write their own fanfiction to fill the 'holes'.

Friday Mixer (April 7, 2012)
Yes, this isn't REALLY Friday but I just thought of this too late to post on Friday.
This is just a collection of clips from previous videos. Whether I keep this or not I don't know.

I'm Han Solo (Star Wars Kinect)
I know I should be angry about this. I should be in an uproar about how George Lucas ruined the series yet again. Besides Star Wars passing its Zeist a LONG time ago: this is really funny!
This is a game to have fun with. In fact, just with this one song, I'd like a Star Wars dancing game. Or maybe that's my insanity talking.
I really don't know why there is such a big uproar about this. It's a funny thing in a game. I expected a few people to be angry about it on the internet, then I saw something on X-Play or Attack of the Show.
Really people? Are you going to complain about each bad thing George Lucas does? This 'bad thing' is really not that big. Nothing to get worried over.
Now excuse me as I dance to this.

John Connor (Where Will You Go)
This is a "character study" of the character John Connor from the Terminator series.
An unnamed narrator (who is not Cameron, Sarah Connor, Derek Reese, Riley Dawson, or Katherine Connor) tells John that he is acting like the Leader of the Resistance Against Skynet. In reality he does that act for show. The unnamed narrator reminds John to be strong. He/she tells him that the ones holding him up might die (so he'll have to remain strong without them), that he can't escape his destiny, and that there are good things about his destiny.
