THE

HUNGER GAMES

Plot summary:
Katniss Everdeen lives in a place called Panem. Panem lies on what used to be North
America. Panem is split up into 12 districts. Each year, every district is forced to
randomly choose two tributes-one girl and one boy- to fight in the annual Hunger
Games. A fight to the death on live television. Katniss Everdeen takes her sisters place
when she is called to be the tribute of the 74th annual Hunger Games. Katniss will be
trained to kill all the other tributes and be the victor of the 74th annual Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games genre is Acton adventure, science fiction and fantasy. I think
it is suitable for mostly everyone (anyone about the age 12).The UK age rating
for this film is 12A because it contains elements of violence and use of alcohol.
This means its not appropriate for children as it can give off bad influences.
The budget to make The Hunger Games was $78 million US dollars.
The film was directed by Gary Ross. The Hunger Games doesnt resemble his
previous work as his past films have been comedy related.
The cast for The Hunger Games are:
Jennifer Lawrence- she plays Katniss Everdeen who is the main character in the
film. Jennifer is a very successful actress as she has had many other big roles
such as Raven Darkhlme / Mystique in the film X-Men: First Class. The Hunger
Games made Jennifer very well known in the film industry.
Josh Hutcherson- Josh plays Peeta Mellark who also stars in the film. He is also a
very successful actor. His first major role was playing in the pilot episode of
House Blend. He has had many major roles since then.
Liam Hemsworth- Liam plays Gale Hawthorne in the film. He is a quite successful
Australian actor and has won awards for his acting.
Woody Harrelson- Haymitch Abernathy is who Woody plays in the film. He is very
successful as he has won an Academy Award (the Emmy Award).
Elizabeth Banks- Played Effie Trinket. Elizabeth has had many other major roles
for example playing Gail Abernathy-McKadden in pitch perfect.
Lenny Kravitz- played Cinna and is not only an actor but a very successful
musician.
Donald Sutherland- President Coriolanus Snow

THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN

Plot Summary:
Peter Parker (Garfield) is an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as
a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most
teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is
today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone),
and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a
mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his
parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors
(Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with
Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and
shape his destiny to become a hero.
The Amazing Spider-Man is in the action adventure, superhero and science fiction
genres. I think anyone who is age appropriate and loves superhero type films would
enjoy The Amazing Spider-Man. With this in mind, I would expect to see more males
watching this film than females. This film is a 12A due to the fact that it contains
moderate violence and injury detail.
This films budget was $230 million US Dollars and was directed by Marc Webb.
The film starred Andrew Garfield (who played Peter Parker AKA Spider-Man) and Emma
Stone (who played Gwen Stacy, Peter Parkers love interest). They are both successful in
their careers. But with this being said The Amazing Spider-Man have been the biggest
roles for the both of them.
The production companies for this film are Marvel Studios, Marvel Entertainment and
Relativity Media. The Amazing Spider-Man can be viewed in 2D and 3D. This film also
uses CGI for effects such as flames. The film was distributed by Columbia Pictures who is
owned by Sony Corporation. July 3, 2012 is the date The Amazing Spider-Man was
released in the US and the UK.
