Hello, what's this?

Reader, sewer, gamer, painter, watcher of television and films, not quite succeeding at any of them (except maybe the tv and films bit) but trying.

And yes, the hair is braided at the back.

That may be the greatest thing I have ever seen.

The critics Manohla Dargis and A. O. Scott examine the complex, and at times contradictory, character of Katniss Everdeen, the hero of “The Hunger Games.”

Hunger Games Review on IGN…

I’m trying to avoid reading too many reviews because I don’t want to spoil it but this stood out to me in light of my recent rant about the portrayal female heros in action films:

“Katniss is much more of a classic hero figure, with Peeta in what is usually the damsel in distress role, often needing to be protected […] And kudos to Ross and company for not bothering to try to hide that Lawrence is taller than Hutcherson – a rare thing in Hollywood indeed when it comes to male and female leads.”

Bekki come back from Australia quick so we can watch it together! 

EDIT:

I second this also:

“As others have pointed out, when comparing Hunger Games to that other book-turned-film series that teen girls have been obsessed with in recent years, Katniss is pretty much the anti-Bella Swan, an independent and fierce young woman who is not defined by (or obsessed with) the men in her life.”

- As we all know Katniss often mentions in the book that the boys are more of a distraction/hindrance and get in the way of her whole over-throwing-the-government-and-saving-the-world plans.

It’s not much but here’s The Hunger Games sneak peek from the VMAs. 

I don’t know about you but I think Jennifer Lawrence is very convincing as Katniss. 

Katniss! I think Jennifer Lawrence is a great choice. I saw Winter’s Bone recently and while it’s a completely different character you can see elements of Katniss in the way she’s portrayed so I think it will work.
