If you're going to compare novels, you could say that Battle Royale is a "rip off"

As a group, the books were good. Not a fan of how they changed the movies but that's typical

I cannot understand how anyone, young or old thinks 'The Hunger Games' is any good. Perhaps it is if English is your second language.

Which I'm sure was a "rip-off" of something else. . . .

So much I quit high school.
My favorite part of Hunger Games was watching Suzanne Collins develop as a writer.

And she did develop as a writer. I think she told quite a story.

I don't usually like movies if I've read the book first.

on Friday to the mall to watch it and walked back home in the "dark". Yep, they enjoyed it.
