Double bill of sci-fi action films based on the first two novels of
Suzanne Collins' trilogy. In 'The Hunger Games' (2012) Jennifer
Lawrence stars as 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a citizen of the
totalitarian post-apocalyptic country of Panem, formerly the United
States. Every year, the all-powerful ruling agency known as the
Capitol selects one boy and one girl from each of Panem's 12
impoverished rival districts to fight to the death on live national
television in a contest known as 'The Hunger Games', in which the
winner is given food to feed their entire district for a year. When
her younger sister Primrose (Willow Shields) is selected as a
contestant, Katniss steps up to take her place. Under the tutelage
of inebriated former champion Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson),
Katniss goes into training for the fight of her life. In 'The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire' (2013), fresh from her triumph in the
74th Annual Hunger Games, Katniss, along with fellow winner Peeta
Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), returns home to District 12 for some
much-needed rest. But soon after, while on a 'Victory Tour' of the
other districts, she becomes aware of growing dissent to the
Capitol's rule, and realises that rebellion is in the air. As Panem
prepares itself for the third 'Quarter Quell' (75th Hunger Games),
autocratic ruler President Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland),
still smarting from the Capitol's humiliation in the last games,
stacks the deck to ensure that the upcoming tournament will wipe
out any resistance from the districts once and for all.
Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett and Morgan Freeman lend
their voices to this CGI-animated comedy based on the line of toys
made by Lego. The wicked Lord Business (Will Ferrell) is determined
to destroy the Lego universe and rebuild it using glue - which goes
against the very nature of Lego. Mistaken as the 'Special', the
only surviving Master Builder, the rather ordinary Emmet (Pratt) is
selected to lead a group of figures on a mission to put a stop to
Lord Business's evil plan. Emmet is helped by wise wizard Vitruvius
(Freeman), tough girl Wyldstyle (Banks) and DC superhero Batman
(Arnett), but can he find something extraordinary within himself in
order to save the world? The film also features the voices of
Channing Tatum, Liam Neeson, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Jonah
Hill. The film won a BAFTA for Best Animated Film and was nominated
for Best Original Song at the Oscars.

Covering her years as a pioneering American journalist in London
and her trips to the United States in the early 20th century, the
autobiography of Elizabeth Banks (1870-1939) provides rare insight
into the professional career of a dedicated and talented woman and
into the major political issues of the time: World War I, the
suffrage movement, social class consciousness, and the effect of
the great wave of immigration on the United States. Breaking into
serious journalism when other women writers were relegated to the
society and fashion pages, Banks was a regular contributor to the
""Daily News"", ""Punch"", ""St. James Gazette"", ""London
Illustrated"" and ""Referee"". She created a sensation in London by
recording her observations on the plight of the lower classes,
which she researched posing as a housemaid, street sweeper and
Covent Garden flower girl. And in columns under the pseudonyms of
""Mary Mortimer Maxwell"" and ""Enid"", she unceasingly promoted
women's right to vote and denounced the prison conditions for
jailed suffragettes. Banks's memoir is full of personal and
fascinating anecdotes about her neighbours George Bernard Shaw,
John Galsworthy and Thomas Hardy; her friends H.G. Wells and
suffragette Henrietta Marston; her meeting with Theodore Roosevelt;
and daily life in London during the war. Although she never gave up
American citizenship, Banks remained in England throughout her
life, torn between the two countries and cultures that she loved
passionately.
