'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' and 'World War Z'

Hello movie watchers. I have been contentedly viewing movies this week and I am going to go over the two main ones! Neither movie is jaw-droppingly amazing but they are both fun little romps. First is the new 'Hunger Games' movie, 'Catching Fire'. If you are a book purist and are eager for an accurate book to movie translation, you will be very pleased!

I think it's safe to say that this is going to be an exciting, engrossing movie that will not disappoint. I'm weirdly excited for it!
