10 Most Anticipated Moments In The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1

The mockingjay lives, and is ready to kick some butt.

Mockingjay The Hunger Games: Mockingjay-Part 1 hits theaters next month, which means it's time for us to get our geek on! It's time to re-read the books, re-watch the movies, and hope beyond hope that this movie isn't as pointless and unnecessary as the first parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (although we may be in trouble on that front because at over 190,000 words each, at least those two books were long enough to justify two films, whereas Mockingjay clocks in at just over 100,000). But we digress. Now isn't the time to worry. Now is the time to get excited. It's been just under a year since Jennifer Lawrence stared into each and every one of our souls at the end of Catching Fire and all but forced us to buy our advanced tickets to Mockingjay. A year since Peeta was taken hostage, District 12 was blown to bits, and we learned of the existence of District 13 and its pending war with the Capitol. It's been a year of sitting and waiting for our chance to see Katniss finally take down President Snow once and for all...and while that won't happen in this movie (because, like we said, it's only Part 1), there are still plenty of moments from the book that we can't wait to see.

Yes, my last name is pronounced exactly as it's spelled. Just like "going to the store". ;) I am an aspiring writer currently working on my first novel, which is GOING to be awesome once it's published. (See what I did there?) I love reading, am a HUGE film buff (who welcomes all trivia challenges), and never miss a New York Giants football game. I'm an open book so if there is anything else you'd like to know about me, just ask.
