Page 6 September 2012 Time to look to DVDs for movie fun School’s back in! That means homework and not nearly as much time to go to the movies.

The actors are adequate, nothing to compliment or complain. I’ll give Hunger Games 3 stars, preferring the books but interested to see the rest of the movies. Pirates!

The Swashbuckling Adventure Story by Gideon Defoe. With a title the same as his name, Pirate Captain (voiced by Grant) is determined to win the Pirate of the Year Award despite the many years of past failure.
