Recent Movies

Brave (2012), check. Entertaining, not groundbreaking, with surprise Mumford overlaid on the closing scene and credits. Solid entry in the "spunky young woman has an adventure and does some growing-up", with an interesting mother-daughter relationship.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, check. Cleared expectation bar set by Hunger Games, held my attention surprisingly well through the 2h26m runtime. Thumbs up to Jennifer Lawrence's acting choices. Based on book reviews, unusually little desire to read the original novel.

The next Hobbit movie is out next week; peer pressure may get me into a theater, spiders and all.
