Rate the Last Movie U Watched

[Alison]

The Hunger Games. I didn't bother watching it when it was released in the cinema, thinking it wasn't the sort of thing I'd be interested in. However, when I was in hospital, for some reason I decided to read the book. And I loved it. So I persuaded my daughter to read it too, and yesterday we got the movie out and watched it.

It was as well done as the book, and kept to the story in most places. In the few places it deviated, it did so very well and didn't distort the overall story line. I enjoyed the movie very much, to the extent that I intend to go and watch the sequel which is currently in the cinemas here. Probably next week some time. It's summer school holidays at the moment, but the real little children won't be going to this, it's more for young adults and adults. So long as we can find parking during this hectic period (and a lot of Canberrans are heading up to the coast after Christmas to spend family time at the beach) I should be able to enjoy the sequel.
