Effie provided both comic relief and an allegory for realizing what’s important in life. One of the bonus features explains Effie’s visual transformation over the course of the series. One of my favorite scenes: Effie and Katniss are preparing for President Snow’s trial. A wonderful modern perk if I’ve ever seen one: we can play this movie on any device with iTunes (and storage space to hold the film). No more walking across the room to the Blu-ray player. I love being able to do this… call this the ultimate in lazy, but from the comfort of my couch “spot” in the family room, I can input the iTunes codes into my laptop, then pick up my Apple TV remote and play the movie pretty quickly. If you play your cards right, you should be able to find a version of the Blu-ray that includes an Ultraviolet Digital HD and iTunes download code, as ours did.

Our family had recently moved from Nebraska to Florida in winter 2010-2011 and we were enjoying a March day at the beach with some new neighbors. I remember my first learning about Collin’s The Hunger Games trilogy. And from that particular Blu-ray, I plan to speak mostly to the bonus features, since GeekDad Rob reviewed the film last fall. Our family received the complete four-film collection to review, but today I’m going to focus on The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2. The final film installment of Suzanne Collin’s The Hunger Games trilogy, Mockingjay – Part 2, was made available on Blu-ray and digital download earlier this week.
