'Snow White and the Huntsman' hit theaters last weekend, and with it a barrage of jokes from people wondering how anyone could consider Kristen Stewart more attractive than Charlize Theron.
We need to have a little talk because this is a problem.
Is the western finally making a comeback in movies and television? It seems to be on the television front anyway, as a brand new western series based on the Hatfields and McCoys is coming to NBC, and Charlize Theron has signed on to star.
With ratings that soared to upwards of 4.2 million viewers for the season 2 finale of 'Game of Thrones' "Valar Morghulis." it's safe to say that just about everybody wants a piece of 'Game of Thrones' right now. Similarly, 'Snow White and the Huntsman' managed to top the box office this weekend over 'Men and Black 3' and 'The Avengers.' Might we see a bit of a mash-up in the future?
The scenery is gorgeous. Charlize Theron looks great in close-up and her costumes are spectacular. The special effect of turning all those British character actors into dwarfs is impressive. Um. . .did I mention the scenery is gorgeous?
Yeah, I think I've said all the nice things I can think of concerning 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' a would-be epic that is merely lifeless at best and flat-out insipid at worst.
Last night, Charlize Theron was a guest on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' and we'll just assume you weren't watching Jay Leno's monologue. But for once, there was something of interest: Leno debuted a brand new clip from 'Prometheus.'
It's been a long, long time coming, but at last cameras are about to roll on 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' the much-delayed fourth film in writer/director George Miller's classic post-apocalyptic series.
We're pretty sure the secret behind 'Prometheus' is full-blown media saturation, and the movie is doing a damn good job of it. But hey, who are we to complain? Now we get an even closer look at some of the characters from the film, just in case you haven't been reading the internet for the last month.
'Snow White and the Huntsman' has a lot going against it. It's the second 'Snow White' movie to come in just a few months ('Mirror, Mirror' hit theaters in late March), it's attempting to put a modern, action-movie spin on the classic fairy tale, and it stars Kristen Stewart, an actress frequently criticized for her wooden line readings.
Yet despite all this, we can't help but think 'Snow White' looks pretty damn good.
Though all details about the film itself have been kept secret, Charlize Theron is being packaged with Rupert Wyatt for his next film 'Agent 13.' The film would be science fiction and no studio has yet bit, but both are fairly hot at the moment so the film is likely to be made.
Charlize Theron appeared at WonderCon last weekend to talk about her upcoming film, 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' in which she plays the Evil Queen. But if it seems like she's been playing a lot of evil queens lately, it's not your imagination. The impossibly beautiful actress says she's going through a "bitch period."
