Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Dang. That was a good movie.
Qiao bought the first Hunger Games movie on DVD a long time ago, but we didn't watch it until last weekend. (As the 3rd movie is out now, we decided to catch up.) Then we got the 2nd movie from Netflix.
The first movie seemed moderately good to me, although the premise lacked believability (how could it be expected that the Hunger Games would do anything *but* stir up resentment and rebellion?) Then again, real life governments don't always act with much more sense.
But this 2nd movie - wow. I'm very impressed by the story and the acting, especially Jennifer Lawrence's performance.
I just looked up who the actor was who played Cinna, as he looked familiar. Lenny Kravitz! Who would have thought! And that page says he went to Beverly Hills High School, as did one of the Guns 'N Roses people. Who would have thought that real-life famous people actually attended that school!
