I can't help but wonder if they actually think Lawrence doesn't portray Katniss correctly or if they're upset she doesn't portray the ideal we are all so used to seeing when young women star in blockbuster action films -- that of the quite literally starving actress.
The reviews are in for "The Hunger Games," and it looks like the film is as popular with critics as it is with its young fans. "Hunger Games" already ...
The filmmakers chose to shoot the Games in a natural environment. Surprisingly, this only increases the horror of the televised bloodbath. There's something about the forest that's just creepier than anything we can make with our hands.
I understand those who might say that these books are nothing but harmless fun. But it has to be said that morally speaking, these books uphold reprehensible values.
With the Harry Potter franchise sadly at a close and the disappointing Twilight franchise ending soon, The Hunger Games becomes a beacon of light to this enthused group of kids.
