Dude. I'm not talking about her acting as I've never seen it. I'm just going by the vapid, emotionless stares I've seen in pretty much all of her head shots. That look is the same generic hollywood look that a lot of actresses have.DVS BSTrD said:
Escape to the Movies: Snow White and the Huntsman

This film would have been better if they had cast someone better than Kristen Stewart as Snow White. Otherwise, this did look like it could have been quite a cool reinvention of a fairy tale for a modern audience.
Personally, Rachel McAdams would have been a good Snow White. I mean, she pulled off the teen look for Mean Girls, why not for Snow White?

The movie LOOKS very good, too bad im not the least interested in the story and/or kirsten stewart.
I first heard about this movie a couple of months ago, and when I asked who was in it and what it was about, what I basically heard was that this was a movie about Kristen Stewart supposedly being hotter than Charlize Theron
...my only reply was "So it IS a fantasy movie."
Also, I know this is late (and also totally pointless) but I saw Mirror Mirror the other day at the discount theatre. I know you only did a quick review of that, but I actually thought it was okay. It didn't light the world on fire, but it was a pretty funny little flick and one of the better live action kid's movies I'd seen in a long time.
No matter, I'll probably be passing on this film. Thanks for the review though.

Well she was actually good in Zathura way back before all the Twilight nonsense.Qitz said:
On the other hand I wouldn't mind seeing Charlize Theron play Rita Repulsa.
Incidentally, I want a Tanooki Mario action figure. I never got one 23 years ago!
The main thing that confused me when I saw the trailer was the whole armies, monsters, battle business. I guess that's where the Joan d'Arc/rebels thing comes in Bob mentioned?
I think my father put it quite well when I asked what that was all about and he simply said, paraphrased: Battle scenes are great for cinema, it doesn't matter that it has nothing to do with the fairy tale of Snow White, it'll draw in viewers.

If this movie ditched the snow white BS and was just about Charlize Theron as a wicked sorceress queen whose vanity and hubris leads to her downfall, it would probably be much better received as a whole. Hell, I might even be tempted to go watch it.
As for Kristen Stewart, the girl has a career because of her lack of acting talent. She is just there as a stand-in for any female patron. And she is absolutely fantastic at making herself just the right amount of a non-entity to cause said patrons to picture themselves in her role.

Sounds like you're in a little over your head here Bob. You never seem to know what to say when it comes to movies not aimed at guys, and what you do say at times comes off as partially but not exactly offensive, especially when comparing the material to the perceived nature of the "intended audience". It's a little unsettling.
Make like Doug Walker and get you an Nchick for point of reference on these things.

Thor is a viking god. They are frat boys with super powers that love to party and frolic. Who knows, maybe after 5 rounds of whatever it takes to get a Thor drunk, five 50 gallon barrels of Utiopias maybe, Kristen Stewart might become desirable. He would not be interested in her mind, he'd have Natalie Portman and the other one for that.JSW said:
I feel more than a little sorry for Stewart. First she stuck with a role that is Emperor Palpatine as a saint. Then she gets stuck in a clone of that role.
Also this is why I would LOVE to get a job on the technical side of movies. I would pay money to hear Hensworth's reactions to being in this movie on the set.

Actually bob, this would be the 3rd snow white film. You're forgetting The Asylum's "GRIMM'S SNOW WHITE."
Common consensus is that 3DD is just plain boring.jthwilliams said:What nothing to say about "Piranha 3DD".MovieBob said:

I guess it could be worse: I traded seeing this with the wifey (she's a huge Charlize Theron fan) for her seeing Prometheus with me next week. Nice to hear Ms. Theron does not disappoint at least.
