The final (and tired) Hunger Games film proves that YA is truly dead. Review by Matt Cummings As someone who found the premise beind The Hunger Games to be barely agreeable, I have come to enjoy their play on the big screen, both as a zeitgeist meter and for the way it launched Actress Jennifer Lawrence's career. Along the way, I appreciated its gripping social commentary, as well as the violent and bloody conflict given to us in the form of gladitorial tributes. But with four films under its belt, the series feels as war-weary as its subject, no longer reflecting its namesake, and perhaps proving that YA-based movies might be truly dead. As the showdown between Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and President Snow (Donald Sutherland) approaches its zenith, the citizens of the various Districts band together to wage war against Panem's sadistic leader. But it's clear that District leaders like Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) have other plans post-Snow, while freedom fight

The Christmas raunchfest The Night Before is both ridiculously hilarious in parts and excruciatingly boring in others. Review by Matt Cummings The holiday movie season is like having your parents over: they're fun until they're not, with interest quickly dwindling with every breath drawn. It's hard to understand why the formula is so misused: take the best elements of The Hangover , mix it with the zaniness of Christmas Vacation , with a little buddy/broad raunch from Neighbors , and you should get something really magical. The Night Before is not quite that movie: a stoner flick with lots of premise, some genuinely wild hilarity, but painfully absent for large sections. Every Christmas Eve since 2001, best friends Chris (Anthony Mackie) and Isaac (Seth Rogan) venture out into NYC to honor a long-standing agreement with their friend Ethan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) whose parents tragically died during the holidays. But Chris and Isaac are ready to move on, wit

Newspaper thriller hums along without stopping the presses. Review by Brandon Wolfe The journalism thriller seems almost like an oxymoron. What could be thrilling about the process of conducting interviews, taking notes, editing copy and upholding journalistic integrity? To many, the journalism beat likely seems a tedious, paper-pushing slog, and yet Hollywood had cultivated a strong little subgenre about how nail-bitingly intense the hunt for a major scoop can become. The best the subgenre has offered over the years— Zodiac, Shattered Glass, All the President’s Men —have made investigative reporting as gripping as any cloak-and-dagger fare, following intrepid writers as they track a whale of a story into a treacherous hall of mirrors. The daily lives of journalists are almost certainly more likely to be mired in trivialities such as maintaining the correct usage of “their” versus “they’re,” yet every so often, writers are allowed to step out into the world, put on their detective h
