Movie 1: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)
The odds may have been in Katniss’s favour once—but surviving the Hunger Games was only the beginning.
In Catching Fire, the second thrilling instalment of the Hunger Games saga, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark return home as victors—only to find that
their defiance in the arena has ignited a rebellion across the districts of Panem. As unrest grows, the Capitol retaliates by throwing them back into a
special edition of the Hunger Games: the Quarter Quell, a brutal tournament that pits past victors against one another.
With the stakes higher than ever, alliances become more precarious, the danger more intense, and the flames of rebellion impossible to contain.
Gripping, emotional, and full of tension, Catching Fire deepens the story and raises the stakes in spectacular fashion.

Movie 2: Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005)
The Baker family is back—and bigger, bolder, and even more chaotic than before!
In this hilarious and heartwarming sequel, Tom and Kate Baker gather the entire clan for one last summer vacation before the older kids start to leave
the nest. But peace and quiet aren't on the itinerary. When the Bakers arrive at Lake Winnetka, they run into their old rivals, the super-competitive Murtaugh
family—who seem determined to prove that their big brood is better.
Cue the pranks, the competitions, and a whole lot of slapstick fun as the two families face off in a summer showdown full of laughs and life lessons.
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 is a family-friendly romp that celebrates togetherness—even when it comes with total pandemonium.
