Hunger Games, Catching Fire

So I went to see it last night.  Not bad.  Not quite as good as the first one, but that's sequels for you.  The Jax Jr wasn't very full, and half the audience were oldsters like me.  I assume the teenagers all saw it over the weekend.  If you liked the first one, you will want to see this one, just to learn what happens next to Katniss and Peeta.  The director had more money to make this one, so the costumes and sets are richer and fancier
   The plot is more complicated and harder to follow if you haven't read the book, which I haven't.  Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) has a much more complicated romantic life, with two or three guys seriously in love with here.  Everyone has grown up a bit since the first one.  They are taller and more heavily muscled, clearly adults, where as in the first one everyone looked young enough to be in high school, if they have high school in that world.  The costumes show off everyone's figure to advantage. 
   Poor Peeta has to put up with a lot.  Turns out, that Katniss is no longer madly in love with him, and in fact is interested in one or maybe two other guys.  He knows about this, in fact he knows the guys, and he doesn't show any jealousy, in fact he is loyal and supportive all thru the story.
   Anyhow, I am glad I went to see it.  It's one of the very few movies good enough to get me out to Littleton in the dark, rather than just netflixing them later.
