If you have been reading Columbia County Current (or following us on Twitter) then you know that The Hunger Games arrived at The Crandell last night for a special, midnight showing. As a fan of the books (and The Crandell), I thought it would be fun to head out for this late-night showing so me and some friends did just that.
I was excited to see that we weren’t alone and the biggest crowd that I have ever seen at The Crandell was out last night to see this movie and support our local movie theater.
The movie was great and you could tell that the audience was filled with fans of the books by the way that people reacted to simple details, dialogue and the characters. Fans of the books will undoubtedly find a few flaws ( I did) but overall, should be really happy with how the book was brought to the screen.
The Hunger Games is playing at The Crandell (and everywhere else) all week.
