Movie Review: The Hunger Games

Every year, in the aftermath of a deadly civil war that destroyed most of North America, the evil administrators of Panem forces each of its twelve slave districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Meant as a punishment for the uprising and an ongoing intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games is the mother of all reality shows, in which the 24 "Tributes" must fight with one another, and unseen and unexpected dangers thrown at them, until only one survivor remains.

Pitted against the trained-from-childhood Tributes from Districts 1 and 2, Katniss Everdeen, who volunteers herself as the Tribute from her district to protect her younger sister, will have to rely on her survival instincts and make difficult choices in her battle to win.

Watch the movie for the absolutely beautiful, and extremely competent Jeniffer Lawrence. The screen just lights up with her presence.... there's really nothing quite like her!
