The Hunger Games & Happy 17th Birthday to Caleb

Today my family and I went to see The Hunger Games. It was my 14th "new" movie of the year. I had never been more excited to watch a movie since I was 10 years old and wanted to watch Star Wars. We even bought advance tickets to watch the movie.

Before I continue...I want to wish Caleb, my son, a Happy 17th Birthday! I remember the day he was born. He had a very fuzzy head and the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen on a baby. I had a baby boy. Even though he is all grown up, I still love that kid! I know he is smarter than me and can't wait to see what he can do for the world. I am very proud to call him my son! Happy Birthday Caleb. I love you.

Now, back to the Hunger games review. The movie was worth the wait. It was fantastic. I'm trying to figure out just where to rank it in my top 100 movies of all-time. The movie was very moving and I either cried or came close to crying several times. My heart broke when Katniss volunteered to take her sister's place at the Reaping (seen in the trailers, so no spoiler here) and my heart pounded as the Hunger Games started. I was on the edge of my seat almost the entire movie. The acting was great. Jennifer Lawrence should get another Academy Award nomination for best Actress. Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson and Stanley Tucci should all get Supporting Actor nominations as well. The musical score was great. The cinematography was great. The costumes and art designs were great. All of which means the directing was also great. This movie better at least have several Academy Award nominations coming to it.

If you have read the books, you will notice several differences; however, I think the director and screenwriters stayed very true to the books; much like in the Harry Potter series and unlike the movies Eragon and the Percy Jackson movie. I can't wait for the other two books to be turned into movies as well.

clients, Rachel, who got back together with her ex.
It combines RPG elements and strategy for a very interesting game where you must stop
the rows of pirates ship from making their way down
the river. Harry Potter Hogwarts is one more entry into this new series of LEGO board games.

Whilst you could get a partner or close friend to give your shoulders,
back or feet a good rub down, to truly feel long-term
benefits you should enlist the services of a trained professional to give you regular
massages. At a bargain 100 bolivianos for 4 hours, they have enough power
to get 2 gringo-sized riders up the local hills. The only issue I have is that they really should have found a way to
double face the can, so it will work better in store shelves.

In most cases they are, but when it comes to updates, patches, etc to the mmorpgs.
Finding good outsourcing companies is the key, as naturally you do not
want to lower the quality of the service. It fizzles as the
lights go out, and she says it's been great talking to you.

I understand that those are the products designed by manufacturers to make them money and if they are endorsed by
winning popular professionals, sales will
be high. However, every character in the game (even supporting players) should be
presented in this same detail. The main reason why you would want to do this is simple, you can
unlock the true potential of your purchase.

When it comes to fishing, some goes for fishing as an entertainment activity and many depends upon
fishing for their livelihood. The 360 Series from Aqua-Vu is specifically designed with a rugged
encasement for ice fishing. When the water arrives at the inlet, most oxygen is dissolved because of the abrupt transformation of water movement.

They help separate the fishing men from the boys, so you can
find an excellent guide who really knows what he's doing. Depending on how you're going to want to do your fishing you'll want to find a boat to rent for Michigan fishing. When the water arrives at the inlet, most oxygen is dissolved because of the abrupt transformation of water movement.
