Let’s go back to the begin-ning and give credit to Su-zanne Collins who wrote the highly successful three books that are affectionately known as The Hunger Games. The primary story revolves around the annually televised contest of teenagers fighting to the death for the entertainment of the privileged citizens of the Capitol.

The Twelve Districts throughout the country of Panem must each supply a boy and girl for this sadly bar-baric event. The residents of the districts are downtrod-den and “fighting for crumbs” while the folks who live in the opulent Capitol are mostly worried about their hair color and body tattoos.

This sci-fi adventure is set at an unknown time in a post-apocalyptic fictional world commonly referred to as a dystopian society. My defi-nition of “Dystopia” is “a fu-turistic, imagined universe in which oppressive societal control and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained through a central power.”

That’s pretty much what Ms. Collins had in mind when she created the country

of Panem led by the wonder-fully, evil President Snow magnificently played by Don-ald “M.A.S.H -1970” Suther-land, 79. His beautiful white hair is as cool as ever. Those Sutherland Boys, including son Kiefer Sutherland, have significant head hair.

This Part 1 is the third movie installment and Part 2 of Mockingjay, movie num-ber four, will be out in 2015.

“Hey, wait a minute, Larry H., I thought you said that Su-zanne Collins wrote a trilogy; this does not add up.” Ok, here’s how it breaks down: the first two movies made so much dat gum money that the masterminds figured they could chop the third book into two pieces and make double their money.

Can they do that? Yes, they can and they did. And “they”

probably will get away with it even though Ms. Collins cer-tainly did not write the third book with a convenient chop-ping point. But not to worry too much about the integrity of the trilogy as Ms. Collins has been an Executive Pro-ducer for all four of The Hun-ger Games films. The total sales for this franchise easily surpass a billion dollars.

I read all three books and

thoroughly enjoyed them and have looked forward to each of the movies. I’ll see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 the day it comes out. Here comes the “but.” But this movie was only average at best. Mid-movie hit a dull wall and then the crescendo of the last twenty minutes was exciting and made me sit on the edge of my seat at the con-clusion with a strong desire to see how the whole story ends. What happens to the Rebel-lion?

And then the end of Part 1 happens and I was left on the precipice of the cliffhanger. Have I been tricked into want-ing to buy a ticket to Part 2 next year? Yes! Congratula-

tions, Lionsgate and Suzanne Collins, you got me.

I have to mention the cast because they were awesome: Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, Josh Hutcherson – Peeta Mellark, Liam Hem-sworth – Gale, Woody Harrel-son – Haymitch, Philip Sey-mour Hoffman (died February 2, 2014, at age 46) – Plutarch, and Julianne Moore as Presi-dent Alma Coin. Check out those deliciously creative character names and one can only imagine the genius of the written word of Suzanne Col-lins. Keep your expectations in check, too.

Rock ‘n Roll.
