The Hunger Games Sydney Premiere And Review
The Hunger Games enjoyed it's Sydney, Australia premiere tonight, and let me tell you...this film rocks.
Don't confuse it with 'Twilight' - it's tons better, or about 2 stars better if you follow.
Movie and entertainment critics around the global have been all very positive - most unusual.
The movie is based upon Suzanne Collins' trilogy of books.
Led by rising movie stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Australia's Liam Hemsworth, the flick is about a broadcast for TV fight to the death in a post-apocalyptic America.
"What's remarkable is the lack of cheese," said UK magazine Total Film, rating The Hunger Games four stars. "Tacky effects, corny dialogue and creaky performances are all shown the door. We repeat: not the new Twilight."
Hollywood bible Variety writes "nearly 2 1/2 hour event picture should satiate fans, entertain the uninitiated and take an early lead among the year's top-grossing films".
Total Film criticised the loss of the novel's "blistering pace" regarding the film's long running time.
In another four-star review, British paper The Guardian wrote: "The Hunger Games is that rarest of beasts: a Hollywood action blockbuster that is smart, taut and knotty."
The Hollywood Reporter notifies the film had been watered down to ensure a PG-13 rating in the US (rated M in Australia): "Most noticeable ... is the film's lack of hunting instinct. The novel conveyed a heady sense of blood-scent ... One senses that the filmmakers wanted to avoid showing much hunting onscreen, for fear of offending certain sensibilities."
But it also stated that the central character, Lawrence's cool-headed hunter Katniss, is so "compelling" that the film "can't go wrong".
21-year-old Oscar nominee Lawrence has been getting rave reviews and should be up for some awards. She embodies Katniss "just as one might imagine her from the novel," said The Hollywood Reporter.
"Lawrence is perfect as Katniss," writes film magazine Empire. "There's very little softness about her, more a melancholy determination that good must be done even if that requires bad things."
The only other star to really be singled out for his performance is rocker Lenny Kravitz, whose one previous movie role was in Precious.
"The young men on hand can't measure up to (Lawrence's) standards," said The Hollywood Reporter. "Making a decided impression here is Lenny Kravitz, who will probably field more acting offers after his turn as Katniss' charismatic stylist Cinna."
Total Film said while not "wholly true to Collins words", The Hunger Games "gets the spirit bang on".
"As thrilling and smart as it is terrifying," concluded Empire. "There have been a number of big-gun literary series brought to screen over the past decade. This slays them all."
The movie opens to the Australian public with midnight screenings this Wednesday night.
Entertainment industry commentators in the US are predicting a $75 million to $100 million opening for the film. At the Australian box office that translates into a $10 million-plus opening weekend down under.

Hunger is a third-person 3D action adventure game with stealth and exploration elements. A nine-year old girl named Six is kidnapped from her home and taken to work in The Maw – a surreal underwater resort catering to the whims of the powerful elite. When an unexpected twist of fate offers her a chance at freedom, Six takes a journey through the bizarre and unpredictable world of The Maw, and catches a glimpse at the corrupt heart of modern happiness.
Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger
Are these weapons made for you can eat
Or so deadly hunger, you can defeat
I eat three meals a day, throw in a snack
Whilst in Africa, food in general, they severely lack
How can I swallow what I cut with these weapons
When, with death, millions are immediately threatened
Every year 15 million children die of hunger

I have a fantastic shot for you today. A couple of days ago I put up a post showing an image of a Cuttlefish. I had looked over the frames which I had taken and chosen the one that I thought was the prettiest. Yesterday, as I was going back over the images from that dive on Planet Rock last Saturday, I discovered something which I had not noticed in my earlier examinations - something which blew my itsy-bitsy mind.
The is the same Broadclub Cuttlefish (Sepia latimanus) which you saw in the post linked to above. Do you notice anything odd about it? Go on, have a good look before I tell you. Click on it to make it larger:
It quite clearly has a fish sticking out of its mouth. Richard Jones told me that he thought that it was actively hunting when we ran across it. I never thought more about it. I must have snatched this fish with its long feeding tentacles only moments before I snapped this shot. I Googled some "cuttlefish feeding" images this morning and found plenty of examples of the act of feeding, but no others showing a fish sticking out a a cuttlefish's mouth. I get lucky so often that it is beginning to frighten me.
Today, we'll alternate back and forth between beauty and weirdness. Some might say that the Cuttlefish is beautiful, but it's also weird.
Here's your beauty. It's lovely Geneviève Tremblay waving "Hello" to you:
Geneviève is a volunteer worker here in Madang. She is a physiotherapist, a much needed skill here in our hazardous country.
Snapping back to weird, here is an elegant Longsnout Flathead (Thysanophrys chiltonae):
These are very common on our reefs. They are ambush hunters. Their camouflage abilities are amazing as you can see in this post.
Let's flip back to beauty for a moment:
Here is a sweet shot of Roz Savage with some lovely orange Antheas and a Feather Star in the foreground. I was so pleased with this shot. It's definitely going in MadDog's Little Book of Memories.
Now, this one is not ugly, but it is weird looking. It's a common Scorpion Shell (Lambis scorpius):
It doesn't look like much when you first see it laying in the sand.
Zowie! That's a whole different thing there.
Mother Ocean is full of surprises.
Day 151 / 365
The Hunger Games disk came in today (never got a chance to see it in theaters). Gonna watch it with family.
Back in June I straight marathon'd all three books. First two books were great, the last book was alright, in my opinion.
A old picture from 2007....In a newly opened resturant in Islamabad,a Cook is perparing the Mutton Tikka,Mutton Kebab, and Chicken Tikkas, the traditional food and the specialty of Frontier Province (NWFP).
I already ordered some Bar b Que..and waiting for it...meanwhile I thought to share this lovely scene of cooking to my fellows on internet as well, and it must increase the hunger after watching it...am i right ??
