Trailer Review: The Martian and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two
Hey guys!
It's time for some trailer reviews! Originally I planned on writing two separate reviews for these two but then I decided against it. Today I'll be talking about, as the title suggests, the just released trailers for The Martian and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two. Both of these are movies I am highly anticipating so let's get right into it.
First off The Martian:
"I'm going to have to science the shit out of this."

Let's be excited together!
Hey guys!

At first it was only something I was doing in...

Review: Made You Up by Francesca Zappia
Made You Up by Francesca ZappiaPublished: May 19th 2015 by Greenwillow Books
Pages: 448 Pages (Hardcover)
Series: No
Reality, it turns out, is often not what you perceive it to be—sometimes, there really is someone out to get you. Made You Up tells the story of Alex, a high school senior unable to tell the difference between real life and delusion. This is a compelling and provoking literary debut that will appeal to fans of Wes Anderson, Silver Linings Playbook, and Liar.
