There is no escape.

At least not from the onslaught of The Hunger Games.  It opens tomorrow after a carefully tended multi-media-heavy-on-the-social-media marketing campaign that helped drive sales of the trilogy to 24 million. 
The UK Telegraph says Katniss is "ox-hearted," whatever that means, but loves the movie.  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/filmreviews/9146761/The-Hunger-Games-review.html

Manola Dargis in the New York Times says the movie should be better, that Gary Ross is a bad fit as a director, Jennifer Lawrence no longer has the lean and hungry look necessary for a character like Katniss, but "what finally saves the character and film both is the image of her on the run, moving relentlessly forward." http://movies.nytimes.com/2012/03/23/movies/the-hunger-games-movie-adapts-the-suzanne-collins-novel.html?hpw=&pagewanted=2

In the New Yorker, where the female writers have been as taut as Katniss' bow, humming with anticipation for a week, David Denby pans Panem, or rather Gary Ross' version of it.  He praises the actors but says the "rest of it is pretty much a disaster--disjointed, muffled, and even, at times, boring."  http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/cinema/2012/04/02/120402crci_cinema_denby

Still, even if there's a surprisingly small amount on screen given the subject, There Will Be Blood at the cineplex this weekend and probably for the forseeable future, as The Hunger Games slaughters its competition.
