I saw The Hunger Games opening weekend and I can’t even express how delighted I was. It feels like just yesterday I was blogging about the books and posting who was cast for the movie. It seemed March 23rd would never get here. But March 23rd did arrive and I couldnt WAIT to see how this amazing story would translate on film.

Luckily, director Gary Ross did the book justice. I haven’t researched a lot of bad reviews of the film but I can’t possibly think of one bad thing you could say about it. The movie had everything you could ask for. The characters were all believable, the set for all the districts and the capitol were exactly how I envisioned it and the film stayed true to the book. A-mazing.

My favorite part was the final scene with Rue. It was so powerful! I cried my eyes out. Cinna was also my favorite character. Lenny Kravitz did such an amazing job with him. I loved him and every moment him and Katniss shared.

I’m completely in love with this movie. So so so so so happy it did the book justice!!

I finished the last book in the Hunger Games’ series tonight on my flight back to LA. (Dont worry no spoilers)
It was soooo good. It was one of those novels that completely consumes you, and when you close the book after reading the last page all you can do is think about the world you just entered. I went back and read the last 4 pages over again because I just wanted to take it all in again.
I’ll admit it…half the time when characters are mentioned I dont remember who everyone is. And I don’t have an image of what a lot of the characters look like. And when the author describes their surroundings, I have a hard time picturing it. haha And this is mostly because I was racing through reading it just so I could see how it was all going to end. I’m definitely going to read all three of them again so I can take in all the details.
If you haven’t started reading The Hunger Games yet… please do. It’s just too good to pass up.

The official movie trailer for The Hunger Games is here!! I can’t wait! They did the book such justice…at least from what I can tell from the trailer. It’s great to see the story come to life on the big screen.

Lenny Kravitz has been cast as Cinna in the upcoming movie The Hunger Games. He will play the fashion stylist who designs all of Katniss’ epic costumes. This is not how I pictured Cinna in the book…but I can go with it.

The two lead male roles for the movie The Hunger Games have been cast!!!
Liam Hemsworth will be playing the role of Gale Hawthorne and Josh Hutcherson will be playing Peeta Mellark.

Seriously, if you haven’t read The Hunger Games you need to. So good! I haven’t been this excited about a novel being made into a movie since Twilight. lol
 Liam is dreamy…he’ll fit the role for Gale perfectly.
