5. The Hunger Games



We all have to get inpisration to get a story, but for the film's novelist Suzanne Collins, it was flicking between a gameshow and the live footage of the Middle East civil war. A bit of tweeking here and there and The Hunger Games is born. The fan base is pretty big already and is sure to explode in the next four years with plans already underway for the next two novels to be relased on to the big screen.

I know this film has been out for a week but I have not had a chance to go see it yet. But for those I know who already have, talk very enthusiastically and luckily have not given anything away to me apart from the trailer. This is the stand out film for me this year for pre teens to adults, you can tell a lot of effort has been put in to making this a realistic world the attention to detail to the setting and costume designs look impressive. There is a hint of a good moral to be sent out to those who are not familar to the books that balances out soe of the films dark elements of capitalism, war and death.
 I am sure this a film that will be well recieved by the loyal readers who have high expectations.
