The first of the movies based on the trilogy of books by Suzanne Collins, Hunger Games, is released this weekend in North America and the UK. According to trailers, it looks amazing. Have you seen it yet, what did you think?
May the odds always be in your favour while you watch the Hunger Games
In 1977 a movie was released that captured the imagination of every little boy (and girl?) that watched it. It followed a group “good” soldiers fighting the never ending fight against evil, with a beautiful princess to throw a bit of romance into the story (we won’t mention the love triangle that involved her brother). The movie was Star Wars and it was so successful that after the first and second trilogies and the prequel, it raked in about US$4.41 million dollars at the box office, not including merchandising. In 2004, the movies were re-released with some tweaks and CGI characters that most of the die hard fans were not impressed with. But, thirty four years later, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment have caved in to overwhelming demand from fans to release a digitally re-mastered version of the original 1977 movie on Blu-Ray.
