Ender's Game was... meh. It wasn't fantastic, it wasn't horrible -- I didn't care very much for it.
If you know me, or have been reading my blog consistently, you will have heard me gush non-stop about my excitement for Thor: The Dark…
Rewatched The Hunger Games again to refresh my memory before Catching Fire opens. I enjoyed it, but was astounded at its overwhelming reception in the US. I mean, it was a great adaptation, but there were some *crucial* things they didn't get right.
