**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
The true story behind the Kiss and Kill murder in Texas in 1961. Author Larry King says: Washed in the Blood is a page-turning read about the time--early 1960s--and place--Odessa, Texas--during its rowdy oil boom days when violence often rode the range. It is at once an examination of local mores and foibles, piety and hypocrisy and an inside-look at the famed 'Kiss and Kill' murder of a 17-year-old would-be actress, Betty Jean Williams, whose ghost is said to haunt the Odessa High School campus to this very day.

Movie Rating Watch
The second of the four films based on Suzanne Collins 'Hunger Games', which picks up not that long from the end of the previous movie and sees Jennifer Lawrence's Katnissn Everdeen suffering from PTSD as a result of her victory in the 74th annual 'Hunger Games', in which she and the other tributes had to fight to the death for the amusement of the Capitol.

Sent on an anniversary tour by President Snow, she and co-winner Peeta witness revolution brewing in the District's, before they are forced back into the arena once more for a 'quarter quell', where the tributes are all picked from previous winners of the Games.

As the middle part of a trilogy, this is a little bit on the slower side, more concerned with building the world and in linking the start and the finale together. Basically, an Act 2 of 3.

Less shaky cam this time around, though, replaced with wider sweeping shots!
