End Credits:
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2

To be honest, I skipped the first Hunger Games movie when it got its initial cinema release after a friend (backed up by plenty of preview hype) described it as “the new Twilight”, and why would I want to put myself through that tedium again? Roll on to its DVD release and a rainy day and I soon realised the similarities between the two franchises start at the fact they were both books first and end at the age of the central characters. Suffice it to say, I’m now looking forward to Katniss Everdeen’s (Jennifer Lawrence) final outing as she fights to liberate Panem from President Snow. It promises to be an action-packed and emotional adventure with plenty of surprises.

Jumping ahead (or to the left) with antici… nation to 25 Nov when, for one night only, you can get your feather boas and fishnets out as The Rocky Horror Picture Show celebrates its 40th anniversary. This one-off screening, at cinemas nationwide, will be preceded by a Q&A with the original stars filmed at the Royal Albert Hall earlier this year.
