My daughter raved about the books and the original movie, so I watched the first film - loved it. Then I read the books and was glad I did, all three are well worth reading and of course better than the films, tho the movies are true to the spirit of the books.
The scene in the first film of Peta throwing Katness the bread is handled differently in the books, or rather the scene is not clear in the film - it is the pivotal scene in the books and really defines the future relationship between the two characters. But over all a great series - the extras on the DVD are pretty interesting, especially the interviews with Donald Southerland (and the fact that most of the first movie was filmed in North Carolina) From: salyavin808 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, November 17, 2014 4:51 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Movie Quiz: Who is the biggest action movie star in the world? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <turquoiseb@...> wrote : Chances are your answer is wrong, as this article about the difference between our perceptions and reality points out.

Here's another hint: It's not a he. http://tinyurl.com/nb93ebj I saw The Hunger Games the other day, rather enjoyed it actually which surprised me as it sounded like a bit of a teen movie but there was more too it than I expected. And it could have been really gory just for the sake of it but it was quite touching. I must be turning into an old softie. JL was really good in the lead role. And I liked the bit with the hornets. Might even treat myself to the sequel, I think a bit of development in how the society works and got where it was might make it an even better film. #yiv6258812448 #yiv6258812448 --
