I'm reading the manhwa The Moment When the Fox Became thea Wolf, in which Eun Song, a poor, meek "wallflower" girl swaps bodies with Yoo Ha, a rich, violent delinquent, when both hide in a wardrobe for different reasons. It's very entertaining but sometimes a bit much. A lot of it so far has been people's reactions ( Read more... )

Set in the Appalachian Mountains in the 1940s, Snow in Summer is one of the books in the seeming endless stream of "Snow White" adaptations. (I have no problem with this endless string, but I know plenty are fed up with it ( Read more... )

By "recently-ish" I mean "I actually read most of these in the January-March range and kept thinking I'd give them proper writeups, but didn't ( Read more... )

"What is that awful thing I just watched?" you ask? That was the trailer for Snow White: A Deadly Summer, a beautifully bad movie (probably a Direct to DVD one too) that watches like someone got drunk after reading one too many Christopher Pike novels and heard that Snow White is in these days ( Read more... )

(I typed this up before I realized I was going to see Snow White and the Huntsman opening day and hadn't posted it yet because I had to hunt down links and I was being lazy. I haven't actually gone back and altered anything after watching SWATH. And by "lazy" I mean "I meant to post this around a week ago, as you will see in the opening comment.")

First of all, may I just say that the new Brave trailer seemed to designed to make me NOT want to watch the movie, as most of the emphasis was on how Merida is Not Like Other Girls and is Super Special and doesn't get along with her mother because her mother wants her to be an icky proper lady and Doesn't Understand Her and her dad is just so much ( Read more... )

Snow is the version of "Snow White" for the "Once Upon A Time" line of YA fairy tale adaptations. (Though not all the tales adapted are typically considered fairy tales.) It's probably the best of the ones I've read so far.

Set in 19th Century Wales (and later London) Jessica is the daughter of an uncaring, neglectful Duke who eventually marries ( Read more... )

So, since the last time I went to the theaters, matinee prices inflated to what evening prices were then.

Trailers were less than inspiring:  Dark Shadows looked amusing and I liked the Brave clip (except for the bit with how her dad is apparently so fun and approachable but her mother is strict and humorless AND DOESN'T UNDERSTAND) but the rest ( Read more... )

Interesting article on the cinematic history of "Snow White."  With some rather amazing racism in early comments.

10th Kingdom should be there, IMO, but even without it I've still seen most of the ones they show.  I mean, excepting the 2012 ones.  (Anyone heard anything about the Direct to DVD movie?  Is it even out yet?)

And you know something?  I'm ( Read more... )
