Partly due to a love of a well-executed fairytale and partly due to the amazing posters and the costumes, I was really excited about getting a chance to see “Snow White and the Huntsman” on the big screen. This is also part of my ongoing plan to actually, you know, see movies that I want to see in the theater in an actual theater, rather

Yeah, Asher-Perrin reviewed "Mirror, Mirror" earlier this year and was really annoyed that it took the "the Queen is evil because she is obsessesd with her own beauty and raising taxes to keep herself in milk baths and wrinkle cream because WOMEN ARE LIKE THAT ONCE THEY HIT A CERTAIN AGE OF NOT BEING PRETTY" route. And then at the end of her "Huntsman" review, she notes that at least "Mirror" makes the characters, such as the dwarves, distinct characters who are entertaining. Also that both movies are visually gorgeous, in very different ways

I've been saying since I saw the trailer for this and Mirror, Mirror that -- although I like fairy tale movies, and feel compelled to try to see them (I haven't seen either, as it happens) neither of these two looked like they'd done it right. Mirror, Mirror bugged me because I didn't like Julia Roberts as the queen, but his one was worse because Theron and Thor looked AMAZING in the trailer, but had Bella Swann playing Snow White.

I was all for a cast mash-up and then a new film with the winners (Lily Collins, Charlize Theron, and Chris Hemsworth IMO).

Well... maybe on Netflix.
