'The Hunger Games' adaptation hits the target ✭✭✭
The hypocrisy at the heart of "The Hunger Games" is irresistible. Novelist Suzanne Collins, whose trilogy has been decreed "awesome" by, among others, my 5th grade son, indicts violence and organized brutality as tools of mass-audience manipulation. Yet...Tags: The Hunger Games (movie), Toby Jones, Stanley Tucci, Gary Ross, Academy Awards

Movie awards, TV spoilers, local theater
Well, it'll be a while before we get to see the film that was voted best picture of 2012 by the New York Film Critics Circle on Monday: Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty," which deals with the hunt for O. bin Laden. It doesn't open in wide circulation...

To the screen, and back again
I'm 51 and Bilbo-free. Somehow "The Hobbit" has eluded me my entire reading life. What was I reading in junior high when I first noticed everyone else was reading it? "Big A: The Story of Lew Alcindor," maybe. Or William K. Everson's book on Laurel &...

My favorite moments of 2012
Years ago when I was a student at Northwestern University, a handful of executives at America Online came to my class and explained that you, I and everyone we know would soon find ourselves pleasantly stranded on "information islands." We nodded,...

'Mama' review: Worse than 'Mamma Mia'
*1/2 (out of four) First Jennifer Lawrence had “House at the End of the Street.” Now her fellow best actress Oscar nominee, Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty”), has her own PG-13-rated horror nonsense with “Mama,”...

'Silver Linings Playbook' review: A wonderful romantic comedy about mental health?
***1/2 (out of four) I don’t love the title. Yet I’m highly in favor of almost everything else about “Silver Linings Playbook,” which turns grief and mental illness into rich fodder for warmth, connection and comedy. That’s...

Chris Tucker interview for 'Silver Linings Playbook'
Anyone looking for the loud, boisterous version of Chris Tucker may be disappointed. Asked to tell me a joke, Tucker’s delivery is so understated I react late to the punchline, expecting something juicier than, “I went to a psychic and she...

Predictions: 2013 Oscar nominees
This Thursday brings my annual morning of being excited and nervous and telling myself I won’t yell at the TV. And then doing it anyway. That’s right, it’s the Oscar nominations, for a change announced before the Golden Globes, not...

'Beasts of the Southern Wild' review: Remarkable performances from non-professionals anchor this strange marvel
***1/2 (out of four) A young boy runs down the road, ringing a bell. “The storm is coming!” he shouts. This adolescent Paul Revere in jeans does not foretell the global end of days but something more real and localized. The southern Delta-...

'The Hunger Games' review: Hype, consider yourself mostly justified
I read Suzanne Collins' addictive, massively popular novel "The Hunger Games" so compulsively that the pages feared my fingers. Any filmmaker would be challenged to similarly create scene after scene that sparks craving for the next.
In other words,...Tags: Liam Hemsworth, The Hunger Games (movie), Winter's Bone (movie), Lenny Kravitz, National Collegiate Athletic Association
