Ironically, I just hung up the phone with Woody Harrelson, and while we focused mainly on his ferocious turn in “Rampart,” I had to ask a few questions about “The Hunger Games.” And now, a poster! Clearly, Gary Ross’s adaptation of the best-selling futuristic novel is one of the most anticipated movies of 2012 (which...

After Lynne Ramsay’s agitating “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” I was hoping for something a little more upbeat and inspiring … something that didn’t make me want to crawl up into the fetal position and cry. George Clooney’s “The Ides of March” provided the right antidote. It morphs Beau Willimon’s play “Farragut North” into...
I won’t lie—I expected more from “The Hunger Games” trailer that premiered at tonight’s 2011 Video Music Awards.
