Loved the Hunger Games

Muscari

The muscari (grape hyacinth) is coming along beautifully in my garden.



We decided to see The Hunger Games movie on the weekend. I loved it, it is a good movie and I would recommend it. The audience clapped at the end. It's fast-paced, clever and interesting. The subject matter doesn't sound appealing at first, but it's not a dumb action movie in my mind. It's more one of survival and a bit of strategy. There is a strong female role model for a change and a good mix of characters.  The violent scenes were done so tastefully that you don't have to look away.  They are there because it is an integral part of the story.   Go see it!

Beautiful flowers, Christine. I have never seen those in person. I never watch movies anymore, so won't see the movie. But, David saw it last weekend and couldn't stop talking about it. He said: By the 3rd book, they will have revenge. Lol. (He has never read any of the 3 books)

The grape hyacinths are pretty, there are a lot of them growing wild here in the hedgerows. Glad you enjoyed your film! Valerie

I must be honest and say I have avoided it, it doesn't look very good to me, but thats just my impression from what I've heard.Sounds scary, alittle to dark for me,I'm glad you enjoyed it though.

I read the Hunger Games books long before they decided to make it a movie and I loved them all. So I couldn't wait to go see it brought to life in a movie. Glad you enjoyed it. Grape hyacinths are the first flowers that come up around here, they were blooming a few weeks ago and now my irises are getting ready! :-)
