As if things weren’t difficult enough for Katniss and the survivors of The Hunger Games, now they have an all-out war to fight.

The latest teaser for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 arrived online this week (via Doritos) and the brief trailer for the highly anticipated sequel does a nice job of introducing all of the major players in the next chapter of the saga — including a bruised and battered Peeta (Josh Hutcherson). The footage also features some scenes with recently deceased actor Philip Seymour Hoffman in his role as Plutarch Heavensbee.

The third film in The Hunger Games franchise, Mockingjay – Part 1 finds Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), and various other residents of the long-subjugated districts fighting a war against President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and The Capitol. And if the trailer is to be believed, Katniss’ former friend (and occasional boyfriend) Peeta may have switched sides in the battle, too.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 hits theaters November 21, and along with the aforementioned actors, the film also stars Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Jeffrey Wright, Stanley Tucci, and other new and returning cast members.

Welcome to the week of Ridley Scott. The 86-year-old filmmaker's next movie is Gladiator II, the 29th feature film in his illustrious five-decade career. The sequel to the Oscar-winning Gladiator, Gladiator II stars Paul Mescal as Lucius, the former heir to the throne and son of Maximus (Russell Crowe) and Lucilla (Connie Nielsen). After Roman forces kill his wife and force him into slavery, Lucius trains to be a gladiator and sets his sights on exacting his vengeance against the Empire.

Are you ready to get Glicked this weekend? No, I didn't call you a dirty name, that's the actual moniker being used for the simultaneous release of Wicked and Gladiator II.

I'm content to stay in this weekend and queue up a good movie (or three) on Netflix. Feel the same way? Well, here's a handy list of a few underrated movies that are worth your time. You can always watch Glicked later in the year ... or never, if that's more your vibe.
