Lainey Interviews Yes, she IS Katniss A few early reviews have been released for The Hunger Games from major outlets, considered “top critics”, including Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and The Guardian. All of them positive. So you can go into the weekend, the final weekend before The Hunger Games opens, with some relief. Again, my review By Lainey • Mar 16, 2012 02:32 pm
Lifestyle Rejected Oscar dresses? Really, really hate these two dresses as seen on Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Banks at the UK premiere of The Hunger Games tonight. My first thought was – are these Oscar rejects? Oscar attendees are each presented with at least half a dozen options. Am assuming the ones that aren’t By Lainey • Mar 14, 2012 04:06 pm

Jennifer Lawrence The Aloof Oscars As I noted yesterday - click here for a refresher - Mark Harris predicted Rooney Mara would be on the list of five Best Actresses. Only he thought she’d make it in over Glenn Close. Turns out she made it in at the expense of Tilda Swinton. Because the By Lainey • Jan 24, 2012 09:36 am

Movie Reviews and Previews This is not a love story You’re goddamn right, motherf-cker. The first full length trailer for The Hunger Games has been released. I.LOVE.IT. No, it’s not perfect. Haymitch’s wig is a problem. I’m not sure about Katniss’s prom dress on American Idol there, either. But these are minor, minor, By Lainey • Nov 14, 2011 12:25 pm
The Hunger Games Jennifer Lawrence knows Katniss? There’s a Hunger Games profile in the new Vanity Fair featuring the cast in a photo that’s rather similar to the magazine’s shoot with the then-low profile cast of Twilight in 2008.

The Hunger Games Catching Fire 2013 The Hunger Games is due in theatres in 7 months. They’re still shooting.

The Hunger Games Lawrence on Letterman Jennifer Lawrence appeared on Letterman last night. It was a great interview. 20 years old and she laid down an awesome interview on Letterman that earned her a kiss on the hand. Well done. She’s poised but she’s not, like, overly produced and automatic. She’s not Taylor By Lainey • May 20, 2011 04:03 am
Movie Reviews and Previews This is Katniss So this is what happened when I was in flight yesterday. Entertainment Weekly has the exclusive first look at Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen in the movie adaptation of The Hunger Games. Thank you for your emails and your reactions. And my reaction?
