The Hunger Games is very easy to dismiss as the latest Harry Potter/Twilight/Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of Penguin series. However, underneath that young adult fiction sheen it’s a film about a dystopian future where young children kill each other… Okay that’s not that under the radar, but the reality is that’s it a film that does a lot of things right. Not least in it’s portrayal of a strong, independent female character that has an actual personality beyond sitting in a chair moping after a sparkly vampire. Therefore, the second film in the series, Catching Fire, shall undeniably come out to a load of attention and make a shit load of money. (Just as a quick disclaimer I have once again read the book but will be reviewing the film as a separate entity).
Not Another Happy Ending

The transition from Dr. Who to the big screen hasn’t come easy for many. Even the normally unconquerable David Tennant has struggled to make any real impact in the world of movies. None of that has dissuaded Karen Gillan however, who makes her first big post Who appearance in Not Another Happy Ending a film which came to life due to crowd funding through Indiegogo.
