Catching Fire

Today marks the day of the release of the 2nd of three Hunger Games movies entitled Catching Fire. I won't be seeing it until tomorrow, but based on the trailers and reviews, it is a must see. IMDB has it rated at 8.2 out of 10 stars! Just to give you a frame of reference...

The Dark Knight Rises: 8.6 stars
Avengers: 8.2 stars
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2: 8.1 stars
The Hobbit: 8.0 stars
Thor, The Dark World: 7.7 stars
Iron Man 3: 7.4 stars

Hunger Games Trilogy. I am a strong believer in reading books before you see any movie based on a book. I have read all three Hunger Games books, and I must say that thus far they have done a pretty good job with the movies. The director has not cut out overly important scenes, the special effects are better than I could have hoped for, and the cast is impressive! I have extremely high expectations for this movie because the 2nd book, Catching Fire, is my favorite of the trilogy of books. Adam and I are going to see the movie tomorrow after work, and I can't wait! If the trailers are good representations of the movie, I will not be disappointed (they give me goosebumps every time).

Divergent. I just finished a book entitled Divergent by Veronica Roth. It is the first of a trilogy of books: Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant. I am a sucker for book series. Anyway, this book is in many ways similar to the Hunger Games. If you enjoy the Hunger Games, I am sure you will enjoy Divergent. They are also making it into a motion picture sometime in March.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!
