An exhibit for one of the world's most famous toys is in South Lake Tahoe right now. The LEGO Summer Brickation gives kids and families a chance to put their building skills to work.

The blockbuster film "The Hunger Games," now at the Heavenly Village Cinema in South Lake Tahoe, is an entertaining sci-fi film that has broken box-office records nationwide. Its chief virtue is the star, Jennifer Lawrence, as Katniss Everdeen, who lives with her widowed mother and younger sister Primrose Everdeen (Willow Shields). They are in district 12 of the world government which has replaced all others worldwide following a disastrous world war.

The film "The Vow," currently on view at the Heavenly Village Cinema in South Lake Tahoe, is a good bad film. The bad is the sweetness-loaded script and the apparently rock-dumb male lead, Channing Tatum, as Leo Collins. The good is co-star Rachel McAdams as Paige Collins. This is billed as a romantic comedy, ideal as a "date" outing. Maybe, but ...

Movie opens with a brief scene of now and then goes back to five years earlier when Paige and Leo exchanged vows in a yuppie-like wedding. Thus, "The Vow."

The action-thriller film "The Grey," currently on view at the Heavenly Village Cinema in South Lake Tahoe, is a stark story of men in wilderness and their efforts to survive. Liam Neeson is the de facto leader after a jet carrying oil field workers crashes in the Alaskan wilderness.

"The Sitter," billed as a black comedy and currently flickering at Heavenly Village Cinema at South Shore Lake Tahoe, is mercifully only 81 minutes long, but that's long enough to spell disaster to any discriminating movie goer.

It stars comic actor Jonah Hill as college failure Noah forced into baby sitting three of the most repellent child actors in living memory. He is also pursuing a blonde who is suggesting intimacy that night.

Sometimes watching a dreck movie and enjoying it can be embarrassing. Such is the case with "New Year's Eve," a multifaceted comedy of sorts playing at the Heavenly Village Cinema. The cast is all-star, from Hilary Swank to Robert De Niro. And while the film is pure twaddle, director Gary Marshall keeps all the balls in the air. And he should be able to; he made the same movie last year on a Valentine's Day theme.
