First topic of discussion....

How old should a child be to go see the movie??? My opinion is this: If the child is old enough to read the book, there old enough to see the movie. I would not recommend any child see the movie if they had not read the books! I feel the books would prepare them for the movie. The movie is rated PG 13 and it really isn't as "gruesome" as the book. Some people may disagree with me, because the movie is a visual acting out of the book, but I feel like most children old enough to read a book of this magnitude could handle the movie.
My Cody is 11, he's a pretty mature 11 year old. He absolutely loved the book, and wanted to see the movie in the worse way. The parts he had the hardest time with was Cornucopia scene and the mutants in the end. Just a side note, for whatever reason he was VERY happy Peeta didn't loose his leg in the movie!
Please offer up your experiences and opinions! :)

Welcome...

To my Hunger Games Mom's blog! I am so excited! I am a 36 year old stay at home of 6 children. Caleb 15, Cody 11, Carson 6, Connor 4, Carly 3 and Cathryn 20 months.
I am hopelessly addicted to this Trilogy! I only started reading the books last year, and I am hooked! It became an awesome way to connect with my older children. Especially my Cody! We went to the Midnight premier and he was just beside himself happy!
I love the movie, I have seen it 3 times and it hasn't even been out a week! :) So I hope that this blog becomes a good place for moms to come and discuss these books and movie. I have nothing against the awesome younger generation that made this series so popular, but wanted a more mature place to discuss issues and topics that affect us as moms!
Keep checking in for more updates, i also hope hope to add links, news and photos!
