snow white and the huntsman (2012). directed by rupert sanders.


i am not really familiar with the snow white legend and forgot what it was all about. coming from zero knowledge of fairy tales (in the internet world, that is not much an apology) - it is an amalgam of various tales  - traces of sleeping beauty and at times joan of arc. having seen mirror mirror (2012) earlier, i feel i've seen much of the same story again albeit with a bit of difference here and there. doesn't really make an impact to me, i think the natural landscapes of the forest and the sea are more interesting than the characters. fine, evil step mother, step mother kills king, step mother imprisons princess, princess escape and vows revenge. yeah yeah. 

kristen stewart is set to make a career of half frowning, but i like the little people with faces of normal height good actors morphed seamlessly into midgets. now, that's believable.
