The Hunger Games

You might recall that I spent a week engulfed in The Hunger Games series of books (read here when my original intent was just to read the first one before the movie came out. Since then, Jason has not only finished the first book but also the second. Apparently he does know how to read and is (almost) as addicted as I was. Go Hunger Games!

The movie premiere was yesterday and while I could not convince Jason that a midnight showing was a fantastic idea, he did compromise to seeing it Friday night with our friends Kyle and Meredith. It was a fun double date night with dinner and the movie.
We headed to the theater early (7:30 for an 8:45 showing!) and the lines were already forming -


The movie itself was great! They did a decent job with the editing and stayed true to the book for the most part. Now I can't wait for the second and third movies to come out! (But like Twilight and Harry Potter, I still love the books more!)
