Review: The Lorax
We all love the story of the plump, orange creature who speaks for the trees, and I am sorry to say that our little mustached friend from childhood will not join Simba, Woody, or the squeaky yellow minions as one of our favorite animated heroes.

As many of the movies released nowadays are bastardizations of old TV shows or children’s books, there are few adaptations less irritating than the refreshingly well–constructed The Hunger Games. Based on the sensational novel about a post–apocalyptic America where children fight to the death in grandiose gladiatorial tournaments, this movie doesn’t try to set itself apart from the book. Unlike many adaptations, The Hunger Games humbly translates author Suzanne Collins’s beloved characters and gritty tone to the big screen without re–interpreting aesthetics or re–imagining plot.
