The Hunger Games

    Hunger Games was released this past weekend, and it  opened to an incredible $155 million at the box office. This makes it the third highest opening weekend of all time, behind only "The Dark Knight" and "Harry Potter and the Death Hallows Part 2."

    I went to see The Hunger Games this past Friday, and I didn't know what to expect. The only reason why I even went was because my friends read the book, and they couldn't stop raving about it. I didn't even see a preview for the film, so I was hoping my friends were right. As it turned out, the film was very entertaining. For those who aren't familiar with the plot, the film is set in the future where a Capitol selects a boy and a girl from each of the twelve districts to fight to the death on live television. There is a total of 24 people fighting, but only one can be titled the winner of the hunger games.

    I would definitely recommend this film for anyone who is thinking about seeing it. It's very intense, and you're on the edge of your seat throughout the film. The only criticism I have for the film is that some of my friends who read the book were disappointed in how the book was portrayed in the film.

    Let us know if you saw The Hunger Games, and what you thought of it.
