Another scorcher but I took my son to see the movie The Hunger Games. Hadnt really heard of it before, special request from my son. And what a surprise I got. It was absolutely riveting. Whether you love or hate reality TV game shows you will like this one as it is a little different, where the winner retains their life and the other contestants die. Its a 12 so its not too "blood and guts". It scared the pants off Mrs Lastlid. The ex wife and daughter had read the book on Kindle and recommended it to my son.

"The Hunger Games has been hyped as the next big film franchise to hit the teen demographic. Thankfully, this time, the series of books this film adaptation is based on is actually bloody good.

The word ''bloody'' is not used frivolously. In Suzanne Collins' bestselling young-adult novel and this mostly faithful film adaptation, the Hunger Games of the title is a vicious televised annual reality entertainment that demands 24 randomly selected teenagers fight to the death in a manipulated environment, with only one survivor-victor allowed".
The movie has got off to a good start at the box office......
Bye the way, the trailing adverts featured a slogan along the lines of "Why go to Bondi when you can go to Bridlington?" Graham was only recommending Bridlington last night.
