Point I Fell Asleep:ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Theater
Time I Started Movie:Afternoon
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392170/
Quick disclaimer - I finished reading the book a week ago. For the most part, the movie highlighted all the main points of the book. The book of course gives you what Katniss is thinking the entire time, which you can't really do in a movie. So if you didn't read the book and only watched the movie, I THINK you would enjoy the movie. However, the book gives that extra dimension that makes it worth reading. A couple of things though - when I was reading the book, I just pictured the girl from "Juno" playing the lead. The girl they got was a little too tall, too healthy for my tastes. Look, Katniss is supposed to be a starving girl; the actress looked like she just stepped out of a buffet line. Sorry, it's the truth. I think I had a couple of other minor gripes, but can't remember them now. All in all, the movie is worth a matinee ticket purchase.
