Year One. I can take or leave Jack Black, depends on my mood, but Michael Cera was f***ing hilarious!
Just finished Hunger Games. I found it to be a poor mix of The Running Man, Survivor, and The Condemned.
Let's have children fight to the death as tribute to the past world war and to honor each current represented district. The goal - to live rich and have all the food you can stuff into your mouth.
YAY!
What a waste of my time. I hear the book is better and almost always is when it comes to movies.
I don't know what you mean by this, but if you mean what I suspect, then you've got it wrong. The Games are punishment for the war and to keep all the districts in line. The prize of living rich and having food (which there is a shortage of outside the Capitol) is bittersweet and only comes about after having killed other innocent people trying to reach the same goal.
Taking as tribute... taking as punishment... you say tomato, I say tomahto. The movie lacked back story imo. But wait there's more... the whole thing was up to par with the Twilight movies... weak in just about every way. That's just my opinion.
