If you enjoyed the The Hunger Games and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, then I have some potentially bad news for you: You may not find this penultimate chapter in the story of reluctant but incendiary rebel icon Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) agreeable with your palette. That’s not to say that Mockingjay – Part 1 is a bad film – far from  it, …

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is one of those far too rare franchise sequels, in that it actually improves upon its predecessor, itself a fairly decent movie. And while many may say that the film benefits hugely from having the effortlessly charming – and current girlfriend to the internet – Jennifer Lawrence in the lead (and really it does), that’s …

Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Christopher Walken create music and strife in this first trailer for A LATE QUARTET

There are certain gifted actors that can pretty much just stand around and talk about anything, and it will be riveting. Christopher Walken and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are definitely two such men. They could make a movie about stamp collecting and I would watch the hell out of it. So while the plot synopsis of a famous string quartet coming …
