So yeah….The Hunger Games hits theaters today, ok, well at midnight last night.  It sold out, like, 8 gazillion showings in advance which is some crazy record.  Reviews thus far have been favorable and it’s even certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.  What better way to celebrate a film based on a book I haven’t read yet (I’m currently reading it now) than to devote a Goodie Wrap to it.  Well, in a round about sort of way.  Hunger=Food in my book.  So therefore, this week’s Goodie Wrap is all food related.  If you’re not hungry by the time you’re done reading this, then you’re doing it wrong.

I posted two other trailers this week that are not included here.  Harry Potter and Transformers 3 both warranted their own posts, well….just because.  I have no other reason.  Thankfully there were other trailers this week and I’ve bundled them up nicely for you.
