The final trailer has been released for next month’s highly anticipated Hunger Games sequel: Catching Fire! In it, we get a few looks at the jungle arena that this version’s hunger games are going to be in.  It looks like there will be more wildlife involved this time around, as

Cate Blanchett got a tribute on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at the New York Film Festival. That and Blue Jasmine director Woody Allen’s personal shout-out surely gave more credence to her already-strong best actress campaign.
