Intermission for the Hunger Games double feature. Elliot is really excited. I'm just glad it's for a good movie. Or what should be a good movie. Please don't let them have screwed this up.

That will be the only movie I see in a theatre this year, but I'm thinking the following (two?) episodes will be better, or at least I hope so.

I don't like when the ending of the movie ties nothing up because a sequel is clearly coming but, other than that, they haven't screwed anything up too badly.

Of the three books, this chapter was my least favourite - it was book one again, some more. I'm looking very forward to seeing what they do visually with book three.

As I read them, I found the writing wasn't the greatest ever, but I figured they would make great movies. I don't think I would have been as interested in seeing all of them if they hadn't cast Jennifer Lawrence in the lead role.

The three books fall into the same category as the Harry Potter series for me - weak and shallow writing but still enjoyable to read. By the third book, it was very clear she was writing with a movie in mind.

Jennifer Lawrence is fantastic in these movies. I'm glad her performance is so good because I feel a little less guilty spending the slow moments in the movie thinking "those lips."
