Escobar: Paradise Lost Review
Despite its distracted story, Escobar: Paradise Lost offers some some good moments of tension and decent performances.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 Review
Mockingjay should leave Hunger Games fans sufficiently satiated and salivating for the final entry.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Review
With a director more accustomed to shooting good looking and well handled action sequences, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is just a slight notch better than its predecessor, but nearly every other positive and negative from the first film remains exactly the same.
Epic Review
Shoddy and forgettable, Epic might be one of the most ill titled films ever. It seems more like wishful thinking than an actual title. It's the first major high profile misfire of the summer.
Red Dawn Review
By the already low standards that a Red Dawn remake would have, it's not very good, but not as flat out awful as one would secretly suspect. It's stupid, has a small handful of good action scenes, is unevenly acted, and is still pretty xenophobic despite it being more ridiculous this time out.

Not much new to report on the home video front this week aside from a pair of teen movies: the extremely successful and entertaining Detention and the only kind of okay LOL.

We talk to music video maven and Detention director Joseph Kahn about his genre bending, fast paced teen movie labour of love, what films aimed at today's young adults tend to forget, and how it all ultimately ties into our own retro loving culture.
The Hunger Games Review
Transcending its young adult novel source, The Hunger Games rises above its modest trappings to become a truly great film. Well, that’s not entirely true, but much like some of the film’s characters would say, it’s close enough to spin it into something.
Interview: Josh Hutcherson of The Hunger Games
Dork Shelf got a chance to talk to talk to The Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson about the pressures of adapting such a beloved story, his working relationship with Jennifer Lawrence, and how to just be yourself in an interview.
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island Review
When considering whether or not you want to watch Journey 2, the only question you have to ask yourself is: “Do I desperately need to see The Rock play a ukulele and bounce berries off his pecs in 3D?”
Interview: Journey 2 Director Brad Peyton
We talk to Journey 2 director and Newfoundland native Brad Peyton about the challenges of shooting underwater, adapting Jules Verne, being in awe of Michael Caine, and getting The Rock to play the ukulele.
