HUNGER GAMES (Movie)

I stopped to drop off some donations at the library and was able to score the DVD of  The Hunger Games. I watched it instead of the debate between Biden and Ryan. I don't know about the debate, but the movie was excellent. It seemed to be true to the book, as I remember it, and didn't linger over the deaths, which had concerned me.

Katniss's humanity trumped the banality of evil.

Now I need to read the rest of the trilogy! Jennifer Lawrence, Donald Sutherland, Stanley Tucci, and especially Lenny Kravitz were perfect. What a relief!

Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss

It's a wrap for Hunger Games, which just finished filming in the Asheville, North Carolina area. Now comes hours of editing to create the final product for all the fans waiting with baited breath to see if the vision of the movie matches their experience of the book closely enough. Already it has been said that there ARE changes but a reporter who has been tweeting from the set said that folks will probably like them. We shall see.
