Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Catching Fire, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Jena Malone, Elizabeth Banks and Liam Hemsworth, is the biggest movie of 2013. The Hunger Games franchise has grown bigger since the first Hunger Games movie. The famous Hunger Games is about 12 districts, fighting for survival in a made up arena where they're forced to kill each other. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) is forced to in love with Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) in order to get more sponsors. The two, however, manage to pull off the "star-crossed lovers" act in front of the Capitol. In the second film, President Snow decides to threat Katniss. But Katniss, being the hero that she is, she'll do anything for the ones who she truly cares about.

I do agree that Catching Fire is one of the biggest movies this year. The plot of the movie itself is incredibly thought by Suzanne Collins, the author of the trilogy. Jennifer Lawrence does an amazing job at portraying Katniss, This is me being honest, but I can't picture anyone else being Katniss. And the new characters, Johanna Mason and Finnick Odair are also fantastic additions to the movie judging by the trailer. I'm looking forward to watching Catching Fire in a week.

PS4 vs. XboxOne

This year, Sony has released their latest gaming console on Friday, November 15, 2013. Hardcore gamers have waited 8 years for an update on new gaming consoles from Sony and Microsoft. Gamers lined up around the block around midnight till 8 in the morning to get their hands on the new PS4. Even Best Buy opened up a few stores to accommodate customers. Sony expects at least to sell $5 million Playstation 4 units by the end of it's fiscal year by the end of March.  The PS4 has new features that definitely will blow the fans away.

If I were to choose between the PS4 and the XboxOne, I would immediately go with the Playstation 4 because it has a reasonable price and great features such as a built -in touch screen on the controller. With the XboxOne, the price is a little higher. But Sony isn't just competing with Microsoft. They're both competing with smartphones and tablets. Buying games on app stores on smartphones and tablets is much easier and cheaper compared to console games which is $30 or higher.
