Movie review: ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes’ an overstuffed prequel

It’s been eight years since the release of the last “Hunger Games” film, “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2,” which means enough time has passed that it feels appropriate to return to the well that produced big box-office dollars for Lionsgate, and made star Jennifer Lawrence a household name. It also helps that author Suzanne Collins released a prequel novel in 2020, “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” which explores the young adult life of Coriolanus Snow, the tyrannical president of Panem played by Donald Sutherland in the prior (though chronologically later) films.There is something comforting about slipping back into the world of Panem, dystopian and brutal as it is, especially in the capable hands of director Francis Lawrence, who helmed three out of four “Hunger Games” films: “Catching Fire” and both “Mockingjay” installments. He is a true craftsman and audacious visual stylist, bringing a Cold War Soviet flair to th...

MLB owners clear path for A's to leave Oakland for Vegas

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:41:28 GMT

Las Vegas is about to get its second sports team from Oakland.On Thursday, ESPN reported that Major League Baseball owners approved a plan to move the Oakland Athletics to Vegas, following in the footsteps of the now-Las Vegas Raiders.The relocation "comes after more than two decades of failed efforts to secure a new stadium in the city to replace the aging Oakland Coliseum," ESPN's Jeff Passan reports.Passan noted that the move isn't finalized, as the state's promise to provide $380 million for the construction of a new $1.5 billion stadium on the Strip faces legal challenges from a teachers union.The stadium itself is also an issue, as current plans don't include a dome or retractable roof to keep out the summer heat.Further complicating matters, that stadium isn't expected to open until 2028, The Athletic reports."Where the A’s will play for the 2025-27 seasons is not yet clear," the outlet added.Despite these concerns, MLB owners gave the move unanimous support.
