December 11, 2012
Year In Review
As No. 4 on our Most Entertaining list, “The Hunger Games” trilogy has become the latest cinematic love triangle to capture the hearts of young readers and moviegoers alike.
Lionsgate
Making this best-selling epic into movies was a no-brainer, and the stellar cast has brought all the vivid imagery in the books to the big screen. It includes Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, who has always loved childhood friend Gale (Liam Hemsworth). When she is selected to compete in the Hunger Games with Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), however, she soon finds out Peeta has secretly loved her from afar. And so it begins…
“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” will burn in theaters November, 2013, with the last book, “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay,” being split into two movies, released in 2014 and 2015.
"Extra" has compiled a list of what went into making the first film to prepare you for this growing phenomenon!

If you think Monica`s story is terrific,, 1 weak-ago my bro also earned $5415 workin a ninteen hour week from home and the're co-worker's mom`s neighbour did this for 4 months and errned more than $5415 in there spare time at their computer. use the information from this website, http://www.bit90.com
Start working with Google! I've made $64,000 so far this year working online and I'm a full time student. I'm using an online business opportunity I heard about and I've made such great money. It's really user friendly and I'm just so happy that I found out about it. Here is what I do, http://www.Google.fab17.com
That's a really weird and misleading synopsis of The Hunger Games. First of all, Katniss' love life is not the main point of the story, not by a long shot. Secondly, while it's technically true that Katniss *loves* her best friend Gale (though she never uses that word in the first book since the only person she's sure she loves is her sister), she's never loved him *romantically*, which this article fails to point out and therefore creates a completely false impression about the book/movie. And finally and most importantly, Katniss is not "selected" to be in the Games. She VOLUNTEERS for her 12-year old sister Prim.
Seriously, no mention of the fact that Katniss has been the head of her family since her father's death (and her mother's subsequent depression) when she was 11? No mention of her little sister Prim, who is at this point "the only person in this world I'm sure I love", who Katniss would do anything to protect, and who is the very reason why she volunteers and goes to the Games? No mention of the fact that Panem is an oppressive society where the wealthy, indulgent Capitol is exploiting the 12 districts, and that the majority of people in the poorer districts are starving or hardly making ends meet, and that Katniss and Gale are only a little better than most in the poor coalmining part of the District because they are expert hunters?
I wish people who want to write an article on The Hunger Games would at least bother to check what it's actually about. No, you don't have to have read it or seen it, but for heaven's sake, make an effort to find out the basics, rather than copying from other articles written by people who think it's "new Twilight" and that it's about a "love triangle".
