The movie is based on a book by Eric Maddox, that deals with the capturing of Saddam Hussein in 2003. A little too political for my taste, but I think we can all agree that Robert Pattinson has proven he can act, his latest example, Cosmopolis.

The Hunger Games Book Review
The Hunger Games Book Cover
I didn’t know much about these books to start with, and I must admit that I began to read them because of the buzz I saw on Twitter.
At first I felt a bit lost with the story, because the main character narrates as if you already knew everything that was going on. I didn’t like this, but later on I realized that it made you feel more familiarized with the world you were reading about, and the author does eventually give some facts that help you understand more, and I am thankful for that, because come to think of it some authors spend way to much time describing the exact social, economic, agricultural state of the world you are reading about.
You get an inmediate sense of knowing the characters, the author gives you bits and pieces of their lives, just enough to let you form an opinion without being too obvious about it.
One thing that came to my mind was how lightly Katniss took her part in the Hunger Games, why wasn’t she more outraged? Angry? Surprised? It took me a while to realize that from the start she tells you this is a normal part of their lives, something they had to grow up with. And as the Games progress you get to see her rebel against it.
There is a love triangle in this book and I loved how the author handled it, it seemed real, given the situation, it’s not something you realize right away, more like something you start noticing, until you are sure in the last pages, very natural.
I look forward to reading the second book in the series.

Breaking Dawn Part 2 Trailer Announced
Breaking Dawn Part 2 Title Treatment
The trailer for the fifth and final “Twilight” movie, “Breaking Dawn Part 2,” will debut exclusively on “The Hunger Games” in March — the first significant example of synergy between Lions Gate Entertainment and its new subsidiary Summit Entertainment.
When the studio acquired Summit in January, Lions Gate executives touted the opportunities that would come from bringing together two of Hollywood’s hottest young adult franchises. Because fans tend to get excited about seeing the first trailer for a highly anticipated sequel, Lions Gate is betting it can bring the huge base of “Twilight” fans to the opening weekend of “The Hunger Games,” which debuts March 23.
“‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2′ trailer will debut exclusively on every ‘Hunger Games’ print on its opening night for what will be Lions Gate’s largest release ever,” Santa Monica-based Lions Gate’s chief executive Jon Feltheimer said on a conference call with analysts Friday following the release of its financial results.
While anticipation for “The Hunger Games” is high, the film is still a risk for Lions Gate, which spent nearly $100 million to make the picture before the benefit of tax credits and international pre-sales. This is the studio’s biggest film budget to date. The company is counting on a successful launch for the March release to not only generate immediate profits but create momentum for three planned sequels. “Breaking Dawn Part 2″ will open in November.
A successful launch for “The Hunger Games” will help Lions Gate to replace Summit’s “Twilight,” which ends its run on the big screen with the fifth installment. Four previous movies have grossed a total of $2.5 billion worldwide and generated hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.
Asked on the conference call whether there could be a sixth “Twilight” film,” Lions Gate motion picture group co-chairman and former Summit co-chief Rob Friedman said that was entirely up to Stephenie Meyer, author of the teen vampire books.
If she were to write a sixth book, he said, Lions Gate would eagerly support it with a big screen adaptation.
