"every revolution begins with a spark."


so, i just got back from a late night screening of the hunger games: catching fire.
my thoughts?

as a fan of the trilogy, i was once again impressed with the film adaption.
the cast, led by the impeccable and hilariously candid jennifer lawrence, did an amazing job bringing the characters i fell in love with in the novels to life.

my only issue?
my sister, bro-in-law, cousin and bff decided to spend $19.50 on the imax experience.
i had never seen an imax movie before and everyone was saying that this film MUST be seen in imax.
well, with the exception of the assigned seating which proved useful as we were late, i don't understand the hype.
perhaps we were just sitting too close to get the full experience but i'm pretty sure it's just a cash grab.
next time, this girl will stick to the normal cinema experience...

but just as when i finished watching the hunger games, i now want to take archery lessons because how badass is this?


but all in all, it was amazing film!
if you are a fan of the books, you will not be disappointed.
i can't wait to watch the third book in the franchise, mockingjay, come to life on the big screen.
and, just throwing this out there, if anyone reading is casting for this movie, i'm beyond available and willing to play tree #3.

did anyone else see this film or any other movie this weekend?
