Catching Fire...

Erin desperately wanted to see the second Hunger Games movie 'Catching Fire'. We have both read the books and I was keen to see it as well. The new shopping centre had an opening special of $10 a ticket so it was a rainy afternoon well spent. We thoroughly enjoyed it and felt it was as close to the book a movie can get. I dabbed away some tears and gasped several times. It was action packed and engaging. And it leads you straight into the 3rd book which they are half way through filming. I didn't enjoy the 3rd book as much as the first 2 so it will be interesting to see how they wrap it up. We did a bit of shopping and satiated ourselves at the Max Brenners chocolate shop. I was surprised to see how wet it was when we came out at 6pm, the roads were flooded in parts and I'm glad Erin hadn't wanted to drive today, it would have been quite hairy for a novice. She can get some practice in those conditions when she has mastered dry roads first.
