Movie Review: Mockingjay, Part 1

Jerry and I returned a short while ago from seeing the new Hunger Games movie, Mockingjay, Part 1. I continue to be impressed by how well the filmmakers have turned this series of books into movies.

Mockingjay was my least favorite book in the series, but I liked the movie (part 1) a lot. It’s a war film, to be sure, but the characters are who make the film good.

It was kind of sad to see Philip Seymour Hoffman, to whom the finished film was dedicated. He was such a great actor and I’m so sorry...
