snow white & the huntsman
Jun. 3rd, 2012 06:38 pmSo I saw Snow White & the Huntsman! And it was good. Very pretty, in a Guillermo del Toro sort of way. Kristen Stewart was totally fierce, it was awesome. So was Charlize Theron.

isweedan described it as a story where "Snow White is Caspian but with Jadis as the enemy," and I've seen Ravenna (the Evil Queen) described as a cross between Cate Blanchett's Galadriel and Tilda Swinton's White Witch, so I went in thinking of the story that way, but I came out thinking it could also work really well as genderswapped girl!Caspian with the Lady of the Green Kirtle showing up a generation early, since I got more LotGK off Ravenna than White Witch. I mean, if we're making Narnia comparisons. (And for that matter, Noah Huntley, who played fully-grown Peter in LWW, plays King Magnus, Snow White's dad.)
( spoilers )
We got The Bourne Legacy trailer before the movie, and my one real thought was: "This is either (a) how Hawkeye was recruited or (b) the AU where Clint has a similar backstory to Natasha. OR BOTH." And now I want all the crossovers despite the fact the movie hasn't even come out yet.
My smalltown movie theatre still has The Hunger Games, which I thought went out of theatres weeks ago. I kind of want to see it again; maybe I will. I do want to see The Avengers ago; my dad and I might go tomorrow.
