Forgot about Rollerblade original was awesome as always. I wonder if Stephen King can file for lawsuit as it's so much like his original short story ?

Well spotted Andrew - yes plus a touch of Rollerblade and a bit of Twilight - whereas Blood Red Road is highly original and develops real characters miles better.
I liked the little black girl and felt both the Donald Sutherland and Toby Jones (great makeup) characters had unused potential.

Hunger Games reminds me so much of the Running Man.

I agree it was an ok film, mainly aimed at young adults, so not my target group. My friend and her daughters loved it because it had an undercurrent of feminism about it (i.e. the faked romance and the female lead). Must check out the lounge.

Incidentally - I have no idea what the fuss is about; no more violent than any other film. I suspect it was all a set-up publicity stunt.
