instal the new version for iphoneThe Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Here is where the movie excels as far as the first movie is concerned. The games are full of all sorts of technical wizardry. How are these districts supporting the Capitol? They're so tiny. The sizes of the surrounding districts, both in area and population, never jive with the grandiosity of the Capitol. All of which are depicted as small towns, whose entire population fits nicely into the town square. Then we travel out to the separate districts. Whenever the Capitol is shown it's this expansive CGI as-far-as-the-eye-can-see wonderland of futuristic buildings no doubt home to millions upon millions of citizens. Though 'Catching Fire' suffers from the same problems as the first movie. A bold comment on how enamored we are with celebrities, and how we can so easily be distracted by their lives. The parallels of ultra-celebrity highlighted in 'Catching Fire' are its strongest asset. He hopes that the spectacle of Katniss and Peeta's celebrity will distract them from the horrors of his reign. Katniss' willful disobedience in the first games has caused a stir of uprising around the districts. Snow needs his loyal subjects to fall in line. A development that has drawn the ire of President Snow. It doesn't help matters that secretly Katniss loves Gale (Liam Hemsworth). They're expected to be in love of every second of every day. Like today's high-powered celebrity couples, Katniss and Peeta are expected to lap up the limelight. One, which on the surface, is adored by fans in every district. The relationship between Katniss and Peeta is a tenuous one. Yes, those sequences are the most exciting and visually stunning, but the action that takes place outside of the Capitol's death dome is just as entertaining. The movie, however, doesn't rush full-throttle into the games.

Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) aren't out of the woods yet, not by a long shot. Every 25 years, or basically whenever President Snow sees fit, the Hunger Games gather up a bunch of past winners and have them battle it out, yet again. President Snow (Donald Sutherland), with the help of his devious Game Maker Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman), has found a delightful, not to mention convenient wrinkle in the way the Hunger Games are dealt with.
