Feature Film Review
‘The Hunger Games’ directed by Gary Ross and written by Gary Ross, Suzanne Collins and Billy Ray and is based on the novel by Suzanne Collins. It stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Stanley Tucci, Wes Bentley, Elizabeth Banks, Donald Sutherland, Toby Jones, Lenny Kravitz and Woody Harrelson.
Set in a future where the Capitol selects a boy and girl from the twelve districts to fight to the death on live television, Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her younger sister’s place for the latest match. Source: IMDB
Spoiler Section: 00:31:29 – 00:39:42 – Fast forward this bit if you don’t want to hear spoilers.
Our Verdict: An okay adventure film that has too many flaws to make it a classic. Better than expected.

Lists of Five
This week our Lists of Five: Five Hunting Movies. Inspired by The Hunger Games, what other movies about hunting can we come up with?
Just a reminder, because we never like to just make things easy on ourselves, our lists are not necessarily top five lists, they are more or a less a list of film recommendations within the theme of the list.
