G3 Review: The Hunger Games
“In two weeks, 23 of you will be dead.” One of the many uncomfortable things about watching The Hunger Games is that moment when you realize, “I'm watching The Hunger Games.” The story may be fictional, but it’s nonetheless almost physically unsettling to see children on the verge of killing or being killed. For the … Continue reading G3 Review: The Hunger Games
