The sequel to The Hunger Games begins right where the first left off. Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence) returns home after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games with Peeta Mellark (played by Josh Hutcherson). After a brief celebration, the pair must once again leave their friends and family in order to embark on a “Victor’s Tour.” While visiting the other districts and preparing for the 75th Annual Hunger Games, Katniss realizes that a rebellion is slowly creeping its way into her world.
This film will obviously be the first on your list to see if you’ve already watched its predecessor. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is one of the most highly anticipated movies to be released this month, so you should definitely stop by your favorite movie theater or drive-in and see what all the fuss is about.
Who to take:
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire would be great to see with a boyfriend since it’s guaranteed that there’ll be plenty of action to keep his attention. Plus, who wouldn’t want to see Jennifer Lawrence on a big screen for a couple of hours? If you don’t have a significant other to take, a few family members or some girlfriends will do the trick as well.

What are some ways to stay connected with loved ones when you’re miles apart?
Cupid’s Advice:
Depending on the type of lifestyle you have, it might not be possible for you to see your family and friends on a regular basis. A situation like this can be tough for a person to handle, especially if they’re used to spending time with their loved ones often. Thankfully, with the way technology is set up now, we are able to keep in close contact with the people we love. Cupid has some tips:
1. Call regularly: Whether it’s for an hour or a quick five minutes, call your family and friends just to let them know you’re thinking about – especially if you’re on the road constantly. If your schedule doesn’t really allow you the time for much conversation, send a few text messages. Your loved ones want to stay in the loop with your life and they want to make sure you’re OK. Keep them updated, it’s the right thing to do.
2. Video chat: Technology nowadays makes it possible for almost every individual to see each other face-to-face using a cell phone or laptop. Even if you by chance have neither of these, a portable webcam doesn’t cost too much. Besides, seeing your family in real time will be worth the money you spend on the equipment.

3. Snail mail: Sending a letter or postcard is your next best option when all else fails. Mailing off little gifts and/or notes to all of the people you care about is a little more personal than just a standard e-mail. Plus, your loved ones will have something of yours to really hold on to until you get back from your travels.
