Popcorn Pick: The Hunger Games

Jennifer Lawrence shines in this movie bringing toughness and emotion to the heroine Katniss.

Every year in the ruins of North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the nationally televised event - The Hunger Games. The "Tributes" must fight with one another in order to survive.

Katniss (our heroine) is placed against other highly-trained Tributes, most of whom have prepared for these Games their entire lives. She has her own sharp instincts to fall back on but is forced to also rely on the mentorship of drunken former victor, Haymitch Abernathy. To survive and get back home, Katniss is forced to make difficult choices in the arena - survival is pitted against humanity and life against love.

Lawrence, playing Katniss Everdeen, proves to be a strong role model for young girls - displaying themes such as sacrifice, courage and morality in an immoral world. Her will to fight for what's right is commendable and much to revere.

The story is superbly acted out - the film captures the drama, violence and emotion of its source novel.

Mirror Mirror

After much excitement and suspense, Mirror Mirror finally hit our screens... only for me to tell you now not to bother. Wait for it to come out on DVD rather. Tarsem Singh's films are always beautiful but this remake of the brothers Grimm famed fable doesn't stand out.

The story is sweet and charming as Snow White can be but sometimes they seem to be trying a bit hard to give the age-old story line a fresh new look. Why mess with a good recipe?

Titanic 3D

When this spectacular piece hit screens worldwide in 1997, we all could not help fall in love with it as it so beautifully and magically took us all aboard the great Titanic to experience its ill-fated journey first-hand.

You can rest assured that Cameron's new 3D version is everything you'd hoped for and then some. The modern 3D technology contributes greatly to ensure a more dramatic storytelling than the first time!

This is a great opportunity to return to something you once loved and be pleasantly surprised that its actually so much better now.
