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.

WQHS's Review of The Cranberries: Roses
Roses finds all of the Cranberries’ original members plus original producer Stephen Street back together eleven years after their coda Wake Up and Smell the Coffee. It’s no wonder, then, that they are picking up right where they left off, with the same adult pop polish that made them one of greatest U.K.

Review: Careless World: Rise of The Last King - Tyga
