The Hunger Games (2012)
Watch if you enjoy bullfighting
If you like watching innocent individuals be forced to kill or be sacrificed then this movie is for you.
I had absolutely no idea what the movie was about and was rather revolted by the concept.
I go to the movies to laugh, be touched by a moving story or enjoy an action movie where bad guys are killed and good guys are willing. Watching slave soldiers kill each other for the fun of the elite is not something I enjoyed paying for.
Thankfully this dystopian genre is not a popular one so I'll likely be safe for the foreseeable future - but the fact that this movie has been so popular is kind of a scary comment on American society.
I'm giving a 6 out of 10 because the acting was great and the effects and sound were great. It's a perfectly well made movie, just the story is disgusting!
Vegucated (2011)
Best vegan film out there!
I'm so happy that vegans are getting spoilt for choice of movies to show their friends and educate them. Earthlings, Forks Over Knives, and now Vegucated.
Earthlings is the kind of movie that you show to the really stubborn person who really has no idea about the reality of the meat/egg/dairy industries. It has educated and inspired many people over the years to go vegetarian or vegans.
Forks Over Knives is mainly about the scientific discovery that animal protein is a potent carcinogen and that a plant based diet reduces your chances of getting western diseases such as cancer, diabetes, etc.
Vegucated covers both the above AND more! And what's best, it does it with style and comedy. If you can choose ONE film to show a friend, show this one!
For a no budget film this is really a great achievement and props to Marisa for taking her time to create this wonderful resource for vegans to educate their friends on this rather complex subject!
