I never thought the Hunger Games particularly worthy of my attention. I viewed it at the behest of one of my family and all the flaws in just the cinematography made me cringe. His last film (Gary Ross, Director) was Seabiscuit, which was a very splendid visual treat, but to come back nearly a decade later and hand me this? I was also somewhat offended by how much it reminded me of Battle Royale, and before you go nagging me for bandwagon jumping, I saw the film in the early 00's by renting it from Blockbuster, so you know it's been a long time before the Hunger Games. Maybe people love this for the teen romance. I can find of no other reason people love these types of novels/films. If it has gooey teens in it, it'll sell.
The last film I watched was: Out of the Clear Blue Sky. It was a very interesting piece that made me think back a ways and recall what the media was saying at the time. The film addresses the Cantor Fitzgerald trading group, or what's left of it anyways. They had nearly 800 employees, 658 of which went to work on 11-9-2001, and none of those survived. It was interesting to get the inside view of the film because the outside view is always obscured (see: Bill 'O Reilly).
