When Snow White Becomes Dark -- Snow White and the Huntsman Movie Review

 POTATO ON THE GO (Movie):

Recently, we have witnessed the influx of movie adaptations of well loved fairy tale classics such as Alice in Wonderland and Red Riding Hood.  But more than just bringing it to the big screen, these movies are turned to plots that adults can enjoy, hence making it a little dark, if not totally black.

For me, this is the route that the movie Snow White and the Huntsman took but while I was not quite impressed (Alice in Wonderland) and totally disappointed (Red Riding Hood) with the two titles I mentioned above, this one didn't fail me this time around!  This is what I witnessed at the premiere night staged by Solar Entertainment Corporation - United International Pictures last May 30 at the SM Cinema Megamall.

Meet a different Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman

POTATO ON THE GO BULLETIN (Movie):

We all grew up with the fairy tale of Snow White but soon we'll see her in a different light as Universal Pictures presents an adult and darker version of the said classic story.

In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen Oscar® winner Charlize Theron out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman Chris Hemsworth (Thor and The Avengers) dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White’s beauty and power.

The breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale is from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, producer Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders.

 “Snow White and the Huntsman” is released and distributed by United International Pictures through Solar Entertainment Corp.
