Rent This: The Hunger Games

So, I finally caved and watched The Hunger Games. Yes, I know I'm probably the last person in the free world to do so. I don't know why I didn't see it - I didn't have a block on it or anything. I wanted to see it when it came out, but my dad (aka my "movie buddy") saw it with someone else, so I didn't have anyone to see it with. Then it just seemed like it'd be on DVD soon enough, so I waited (despite my mother telling me every time we spoke that I needed to see it, read it, etc).

Last night I watched it. Yes, it was great. I enjoyed it. But it was also quite disturbing! What. The. Heck. Yes, I know, I need to read the books, blah blah blah, and I will, but wow. What a mind trip. Kudos to the person who dreamt it all up - vivid imagination there! Great colors and outfits, strong characters, a love story. Nicely done. Maybe just don't watch it before bed.
