The Colorado Movie Theater Shooting

http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/20/us/colorado-theater-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

CNN seems to have the most information and video clips so far. At least in the time I've been searching.

This is positively devastating. My heart dropped and has remained, heavy in the pit of my stomach, since I woke up today and read about the shooting at the theater in Colorado. To think a few hours ago I was writing my post, feeling wonderful after seeing The Dark Knight Rises. I almost feel selfish for feeling so happy. I had no idea what was going on across the country.

My heart, my weighted heart, goes out to all of those affected by the shooting. Everyone is in my prayers.

What inspires this type of evil? Why does it exist? How could someone do this?

An event like this casts such a dark shadow over the Batman series. I wish it didn't. I feel as if there is a darkness that will follow this series and other comic book movies to come. My boyfriend just texted me: "I'm not sure I want to watch [the news]. I'm actually upset because this guy ruined something incredible, and hurt so many people that love Batman." I couldn't have said it better.

All I can hope for is that all movies, but especially comic-book movies, survive this. One act by an undeniably evil person should not affect something so wonderful and genuinely good, forever.

What type of people were injured in this shooting? Adults and children. Adults and children who love movies. Adults and children who love comic books. That might be the most upsetting aspect of this--that the gunman injured innocent people who were in the theater just to watch something they love and look up to. These people were fans. What logic could have brought the gunman to believe that fans of anything deserved to be hurt?

I hope that people remember to blame the shooter and not the film. The character of Batman stands against everything that this man represents, as do all comic book heroes. Let's not forget that.

The Dark Knight Rises


It's 4:17 AM.

I saw it. It was amazing. I don't think I have enough words in my vocabulary (which is comprised of three languages) to express how much I loved this film.

It might be the fatigue, but I honestly cannot think of anything I didn't like about this movie.

Well, I have a question about how far a nuclear bomb needs to be in order to not be detrimental to a city and the surrounding wildlife environment around it. However, that's pretty much irrelevant.

Because The Dark Knight Rises was UNBELIEVABLE. I am in awe over what a well-crafted story it was. How does someone do that? How do you link so many elements together? My dorky-English-self definitely saw that the symbolism in some of the shots was undeniably intentional and incredibly poetic.

Here's just a few bullet points (without any spoilers):

  • Anne Hathaway. I love her. I loved her even before the makeover in The Princess Diaries. I knew she was going to be an amazing Catwoman, and she was. Dear Christopher Nolan, thank you for not making Catwoman crazy, obsessed with cats, obsessed with cat jokes, blonde, disgustingly skinny, and/or over-sexualized. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
  • Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I wish I could write spoilers. I spoke of symbolism? Watch the end and and think about the title.
  • Bane. Tom Hardy. Bane. Tom Hardy.
  • Effing cool gadgets.
  • Evocative dialogue.
  • Christian Bale, the best Batman to date. Although embarrassingly, I grew up loving George Clooney as Batman. I attribute this to Batgirl being in the movie and my overwhelming love of superheroines in the media.
I can't think anymore. I'm so tired. I just want to drift into a happy, wonderful, post-movie, fuzzy-feelings sleep.

MK says...5/5. 10/5. 100/5. Go see it. The end. Goodnight.

Magic Mike: Magically Delicious


"So, how pregnant did you get that girl?" - Magic Mike (Channing Tatum).

Follow up with this meme: http://imgfave.com/view/2446651

The answer is yes, it is very possible you will get pregnant from this movie. Why? Because you'll be so hot and bothered by the end that you're going to grab the first acceptable candidate of the male species and get busy. Immediately. Like seriously, it will be unbearable.

Eye candy. Eye porn. Hot. Sexy guys. Dancing. Gyrating. Sweat. Everywhere.

Naked. Naked. Naked.

The air-conditioning where I am right now doesn't work. I'm going to have a heat stroke.

MK says...4/5. There's an extra point in there for the amazing choreography and the unbelievably smokin'-hot bods.

The story was "meh." I was happy that it was deeper than the shallow trailers made it seem. The serious side was enough to keep the movie interesting without weighing it down too much. Without this plot element, the film would have been far too simple. Effing sexy, but simple and dull. Well, maybe not dull. I would have been distracted the whole time by all of the humping.

Also, I love Alex Pettyfer. He's just about as attractive as a boy-man can be. I realize they needed to give him an edge in the film to break him away from his kiddie roles but he looked like a ball of hot lard had been dropped on his head for much of the movie. Grungy? I guess. More like dirty, cave-man-sloth. Come on, people. Couldn't he have showered once in the film? Just once, for emotional relief. Robert Pattinson called, he wants his messy, greasy hair back for in-between Twilight films.

Sigh. Okay, fine. I can't complain about his hair. He is still able to be drop-dead gorgeous, even when looking like a grease-ball and acting as a secondary antagonist. I'd let him roll around in my bed with greasy hair and an uneven beard any day.


Stop it, you. Stop being sexy. I mean it.
Just kidding, please don't.

Cody Horn, who plays Brooke, came out of nowhere. Who is she? She was pretty good, although her voice sounds strangely like Kristen Stewart's. Odd.

She's strangely sexy. Like normal-girl sexy. Simply pretty. It's refreshing.


Fun Fact (via IMDB): "Daughter of Warner Bros. President & COO Alan F. Horn."

Do you think all the male stars of this film got together before filming and were like, "Alright guys, this is it. We need to be comfortable being naked around each other, all the time, for the next few months. You all cool with that? No judging. Hey Matthew, you have a nice ass."

I hope they all cracked jokes the whole time.

I'm having a hard time imagining straight men going to see this, for fear of retribution. Boys, it has enough story to be tolerable for you. I can admire the physique of a girl, openly and comfortably, and you should be able to as well. If anything, it should be inspiration to go hit the gym.

4/5 may be a high score, but I'll let Magic Mike have it. MK says go see it, and judge it for yourself.

I wanted to end with something involving my Lucky Charms reference in the title. I typed in "Magically Delicious" into google images, expecting to find a picture of a cereal box, and this came up...


Ew. Effing gross. You are in a bathtub filled with milk and cereal. Aren't you worried about getting breakfast up your hoo-ha? #daddyissues.

I have nothing left to say. I can't write after seeing this. She better not ruin one of my favorite, sugary meals for me. Until next time, few and faithful readers.

Disney-Pixar's Brave: Brave?

It's my birthday!

Last night I had a fabulous time with my wonderful friends at the bars in Ann Arbor and today I spent some quality family time at home. This family time included going to see Brave (and eating an incredible crepe topped with garlic parmesan smoked salmon, tomatoes, avocados, red onions, capers, and a dijon dill créme--holy crap, I was in heaven).


MK says...

  • Brave is undoubtedly a family-friendly movie. It presents a good message, a clear lesson, and a warm-fuzzy-feeling-ending that is adorable. The characters are endearing, individually and as a family unit. It makes you want to run home and hug all of your family members.

  • As stated in previous posts, I love girls who kick ass. Merida is a strong, female protagonist (if the trailers and movie posters didn't present that aspect of the movie in a strong enough manner for you). Brave is Disney-Pixar's first film with a female protagonist. I am obviously very pleased. She was a good first, embodying all of the necessary girl-power attributes.
  • I put a question mark in the title because the title of the film represents a minor qualm. I like the title. I understand it's appeal. It's an appealing word with a strong connotation. I just wonder if "bravery" is really the over-arching message of the film. Merida was a brave character, as was her mother at points. Okay. That helps the title to make sense. However, I feel like the movie was more concerned with stressing the importance of strong family ties, communication, freedom, and fate. I mean, I didn't expect Disney- Pixar to be like, "Right, let's call the movie Family or How to Talk Effectively: A Guide for Parents and Children," but I imagine there must have been some other title that could have summed up the ideals of the film in a better way. From a purely economic standpoint, I suppose Brave is a highly marketable title. It's acceptable, just not entirely truthful in representing the movie in whole. This is solely my opinion. Totally nit-picky.
  • My other small, miniscule issue was that the film focused very much on the mother-daughter relationship. Hold on, don't freak out at me. I loved that relationship and I understand its importance to the film. I just wish that they had rounded out the relations between the other family members a tiny bit more.
SPOILER...WATCH OUT...

         I mean, at the end, Merida is crying and hugging her mother, wishing she could fix the curse. What about her brothers who have also been turned into bears? Why isn't she crying over them too? They could have ended up being bears forever too. I understand that the film chose the mother-daughter relationship in order to let the storyline come full-circle, but I wanted to see slightly deeper family relations. The King, Merida's father, seemed so 2-ply. He was adorable, however. Oh well, what can you expect from a Disney-Pixar movie. END OF SPOILER.

I suppose this is just a reminder to myself and others who may question the depth and corniness of the film that Disney and Disney-Pixar movies are meant to be enjoyed as movies. There must be a reasonable amount of suspension of disbelief when viewing such films. If I step back and think about the film in whole, I really have no reason to not like it. It was enjoyable. It was a cute, family-flick appropriate for all ages.

  • Oh, and the 3D version was just fun to watch. Plain fun. Worth the money if you enjoy 3D and want to be immersed in the beauty of the animated Irish landscape.
  • Also, the short fight scene between Merida and her father at the end was awesome. I would have enjoyed more scenes illustrating Merida's fighting abilities.
  • I keep thinking about the title. I suppose "Brave" also sends a good message out to children about the nature of bravery. Maybe it's a good title after all.
  • The short film, La Luna, that played before Brave was just overwhelmingly cute. I loved it. It was visually and emotionally beautiful.


Whelp, I'm exhausted. It's time to sleep for a disturbing amount of hours to allow my body to recuperate from this weekend's festivities.

MK says...4/5. See Brave in theaters if you support Disney-Pixar, families, freedom, America, and positive life-lessons for kids.

Did you get warm-fuzzies at the end of Brave? How do you feel about the addition of another princess to the Disney royal court?

MK's 10 Rules of College Fashion

I took a class titled "FUNNY GRRLS: Women and Humor in Literature and Performance" last semester. It was alright; more or less stimulating and filled with 40-some super-feminists. I don't know if I'd completely identify myself with the feminist culture, especially the extremists, but I would say that I'm all about good 'ol girl power and "equalization between the sexes" (as stated by Ginger Spice in Spice World).

So, we had an assignment where we were to creatively mimic either a chapter of Tina Fey's book Bossypants or something from one of Nora Ephron's works. I chose to recreate Fey's  chapter "The Secrets of Mommy's Beauty." Limited to two pages, what I came up with is below.

The list is by no means conclusive. It was supposed to be 100% comedic. I do not entire uphold any of the beliefs listed, but I do see such trends prominently on this university's campus.

For your humorous enjoyment, here it is.

MK’s Rules of College Fashion

1. If you are a good student (like MK)…

            You roll out of bed at the last possible minute before class starts (taking full advantage of Michigan Time*), and run to Angell Hall wearing lacrosse sweats/yoga pants, an old T-Shirt, and maybe a hooded sweatshirt if you remembered to grab it. You have converse or Uggs on, depending upon the weather. Your hair is as is, pulled back with a cotton headband, or half-back with one of those toothy clips (preferably tortoiseshell, because those are totes adorable). Your purpose in college is to learn and be enlightened, not to look good. Let’s be real, who are you trying to impress? Boys are too busy being insecure to approach you in class. Focus on school.



(I like this. Thanks, polyvore.com. I especially like the jar of Nutella in the lower right hand corner. For the purposes of this list, none of that makeup or that hair straightener belongs in this collage, but I'll let it be).

2. If you are a bad student…

            You wake up one to two hours prior to the start of your class. You straighten or curl your hair depending upon genetic burdens and ethnic composition. You do your makeup. You stare at your closet, trying to figure out what shirt matches the wash of your jeans the best. After thirty minutes of debate, you decide against jeans and wear a dress instead. You look super clean and cute. You get to class before what would be considered exactly “on time” and end up wasting time sitting there, looking attractive and very much put together.

            You do this every day.

            If you do this, you have too much time on your hands and could better your life by using the time it took to do all of the above to study. No one is going to notice you but girls (dressed like #1) who cannot believe you took the time to look that good. Yes, they are burning holes into the back of your shirt with their eyes. Focus on school.


(This bitch. Seriously, Blair Waldorf? I hate that I watch this show and love every character's clothes but know that realistically, looking this good everyday would be entirely too draining).

Rules #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, and #9 apply when you are NOT focusing on school.

3. If you are going out to a fraternity…

            You are either not of age or have no real friends. If you were 21, you would be at the bars. If you had friends, you would be at their house or apartment, drinking. No one in their right mind willingly goes to a fraternity unless they have no choice, they are the stereotypical sorostitute (Note: the Rebel Sorority Chick does exist, but this is an issue for another list), or they are broke and looking for free booze. Which brings me back to the friends issue: Real friends would help you out rather than force you to go to a frat.

            Nonetheless, for the young Freshman, this is what I heard you should wear: A slutty, American Apparel dress and heels. This way, you can bare your cleavage (if it exists) and bypass the line at the door as well as at the bar in the back of the living room. Good luck.

            Being naive and having respect for myself, I remember wearing jeans, my checkered Vans, tank tops, and cardigans to every frat party I attended Freshman year. I always had to stand in line forever. Go me.


(I did not know Vans could be made to look this good. KStew just keeps on surprising me. I hate her a little less, again).

4. If you are going out to a grown-up bar (like Charley’s or Ashley’s)…

            You are 21. Congratulations! Happy belated Birthday! Or perhaps you have a really, really good fake. Congratulations again! This means you successfully navigated the shady world of acquiring a fake ID. I bet it cost you mucho, mucho dinero.

            Wear whatever you were wearing to class (hopefully you’re a good student). Bring your backpack if necessary/unavoidable. This is a chill environment. The bar is a place of relaxation and intellectual stimulation. You are supposed to go there to enjoy the company of your friends, compete in trivia, bitch about boys, have religious debates, have scientific debates, have political debates...


(I googled Ashley's and this is what came up. These kids know what's up. I want to high-five each and every one of them).

5. If you are going out to the sweaty cesspool that is Rick’s (or any bar/club combination that plays remixes of America's Top 40 all night)…

            See #3. However, disregard all insults and insert “hooker heels.” Rick’s may scream hot mess, but it is also a good time. You will don your most body-flattering dress (black), you will do smoky eye-makeup, you will wear those heels that threaten to break your ankles (black, nude, or sparkly) but also manage to make your legs look as thin as deer’s legs.

            Above all else, you will dance. Girls just want to have fun.



(She's got it down pat. I love this entire outfit).

6. If you are going out on a date with a boy you like…

            You want to look like the girl next door who just so happens to know what kinds of clothing pieces flatter her body. You’re the hot girl next door, not the best friend girl next door. You need to wear something that says, “Yes, you may take me to Gratzi. I am a classy lady.” However, it also must say, “I could fit in anywhere. Watch me chomp on this burrito at your favorite Mexican restaurant. I’m a guy’s girl.” Cover all your bases.


(The pale blue blazer, excellent choice).

7. If you are going out on a date with a boy you do not like…

            Why are you doing this? For the free food? Okay, I understand. I could never pass on a free meal. Wear whatever the hell you want to. See rule #1 and remember, who are you trying to impress?

            Word of caution: remember there is always the chance that this boy could surprise you. You may like him. How are you going to feel in your sweats at Gratzi when you realize he’s not so bad? Maybe you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.


(Now, what if she had worn her lax sweats?)

8.  If a boy is coming over for a late night movie…

            When you reach what is supposed to be the easy-going, casual, movie date at your house (so as to alleviate any awkwardness), it is essential to be able to look good, even in sweats and a tank top. Figure out how to do that. Buena suerte.


9. If a boy is coming over for a late night something else…

            You are either bringing him home from Rick’s or he’s your steady boyfriend now. If the former, you probably should have shaved your legs before you went out. You should also have some form of matching undergarments. Do not assume thong means sexy. Thong sometimes means slutty, depending upon your body type. Sorry. Real girl talk here: I love all of you ladies and all of your diverse body parts, but please don't let anything roll out where it's not supposed to. Take control. Pick things that flatter what you've got, because there is something for every body type. If you feel sexy in boy shorts, wear boy shorts. Is bikini-style your thing? Do it. Granny panties? I mean, if it works for you, I say go big or go home. Pun intended. Ugh. Sorry, not good.

            If this boy is your bonafide boyfriend, you probably don’t give a shit what you’re wearing when he comes over. Your legs are probably hairy (especially if it’s winter in Michigan), and let’s not even talk about your armpits. You probably couldn’t match your bra and underwear, even if your life depended on it. Just look at your sock drawer. Sock. Singular. There are no pairs in there.

            If you don’t care, that’s fine, but give your guy a break once in awhile. If he’s dealing with wooly mammoth girl on a daily basis, surprise him with baby-butt legs. He more than likely deserves it, and you will be rewarded ten-fold.

(http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Smooth-Legs -- Is it funny that WikiHow has a "How to Shave Your Legs" tutorial? I mean, I guess prepubescent me would have greatly appreciated this...).

10. If you are dressing for you…

            Good. You should be. This should happen everyday. Who is the one person you have to see on a daily basis for the entirety of your life? You.

            I have often asked, “Who are you trying to impress?” Remember, the only person you ever really have to impress is yourself.


(That clearly male, not perfectly manicured nail, is not mine. Okay, my nails aren't perfectly manicured either, I'm way overdue. I like the fortune).

* For those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept of "Michigan Time," here is an example. You are scheduled to attend a class that begins at 11:00 AM. On your schedule, the class is listed as beginning at 11:00 AM. However, as observed and upheld by nearly all professors and students on this campus, your class will actually begin at 11:10 AM. This ensures that if you have classes back to back, you have that 10 minutes to get to your next class. Professors are unwise to reject Michigan Time, because students will show up 10 minutes late no matter what. It is the way of the world in the bubble that is the University of Michigan.


MK says...anyone in college (and out) should at least get a giggle or two out of this post.

Snow White and the Huntsman: The First Thing You’ll Learn About MK


MK says…

No, not Michael Kors. I wish.

I mean, no. I don’t wish I were him. I just wish I owned things designed by him. That’s what I meant. I like being of the female gender.

Just me, MK. Midwest college girl with a love for all types of media—books, movies, television, news, you name it.

My current beau (who shall hereby be referred to by the pseudonym TJ) is sick of me telling him every detail about every single movie I see or book I read, especially if he hasn’t seen or read what I’m talking about.

Therefore, I figured a more productive way for me to unleash my opinions as well as exercise my creative skills was through blogging about what I read, see, and do. I do not imagine this blog will be confined to movie reviews or anything of that nature. I imagine I'll expand into writing about college life, work life, sorority life, trying not to fail at life-life, etc.

I’ve never done this before, so we’ll see how it goes.

Hello, blogging world! Here’s my first post.

Snow White and the Huntsman: The First Thing You’ll Learn About MK



The first thing you’ll learn about me is that I love girls who kick ass.

Cue eye roll. Cue scoff.

What can I say? I’m a product of the nineties and beyond—Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sailor Moon, Alias, Veronica Mars, and countless YA fiction novels written by Meg Cabot.

La Femme Nikita came later when I was old enough to tolerate movies with subtitles.

So, Snow White and the Huntsman…yup, I liked it. Here are a few comments I had. No strict review, just my thoughts.

If you need a synopsis, go to its IMDB page.

-                I got to the movie on time, 9PM sharp, on a Saturday night. Yes, Saturday night is a popular night for movies. However, I was NOT expecting the ENTIRE theater to be filled. The last time I had trouble finding a seat, not on a premiere night, was when Avatar came out. Who said movie theaters were dying out? Movies like this will keep crowds coming back. Wow. Furthermore, there’s something different about seeing a movie with a huge crowd as opposed to watching one in the comfort of your own home. The energy is infectious. The gasps, the laughter, the crying—it’s all necessary to the movie experience. Snow White and the Huntsman definitely delivered in that aspect.

-                I think every review of Snow White and the Huntsman is going to comment on the stunning visual effects. They’re right to do so. The film was visually breathtaking, and I didn’t see it in 3D. In fact, it doesn’t exist in 3D. It doesn’t need to, but if it did, I’m sure it would be unbelievable.

-                Kristen Stewart sucked less than normal. Like, I didn’t hate her. Okay, I never hate her. I just do not entirely believe that her acting is as wonderful as her hoards of fans make it out to be. Although that doesn’t entirely matter. What matters is that she has hoards of fans and draws an incredible mass of people to every movie she’s in. I can’t argue with success. The point is, she didn’t suck. Way to go, Bella.

-                Charlize Theron. Holy crap. What a woman. What an actress. I’m not saying this just because I’d go lesbian for the woman, but my word, she is an amazing actress. Charlize Theron as Ravenna—hauntingly, chillingly, masterfully, beautiful.

-                The clothes. Oh man, the clothes were great. A+, costume designer.

Speaking of clothes, Kristen Stewart’s costumes managed to stay more or less androgynous throughout the movie. I liked this touch. It added to the whole “not your typical fairytale princess” theme. When she was all suited up in chainmail, they didn’t try to give her a chest piece that accentuated, well, her chest. This was good. This made her a real warrior, not just a girl in a sexed-up metal suit.

Charlize Theron’s costumes were a stark contrast to Stewart’s. Ravenna was in form-fitting, body-flattering outfits. They were gorgeous, dark, and undeniably alluring. So what was the movie trying to tell us about good vs. evil? I don’t want to start writing an academic paper on this, but there seemed to be some distinct undertones in the film. Something about changing views on “beauty” and the feminine form. Of course the classic Snow White story is centered upon the worth of beauty, but there was more in this version. Stewart was beautiful as she was—dirty, clothes ripped, wearing pants in a time when girls did not wear pants, imperfect, not anything like the goddess that is Charlize Theron—and that’s a great statement on where today’s film heroine is headed.

-                Florence + the Machine’s “Breath of Life” song in the credits of the movie. Yes. Yes. Yes. Powerful. Fitting. It pulls at your heart.



-                All the dwarves were familiar faces. It was cute.

Beith (Ian McShane) – Blackbeard from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
      
Muir (Bob Hoskins) – drumroll please…EFFING Smee from Hook and that guy from Who Framed Roger Rabbit! OMG. Also, I loved that they were…do I call a fairytale movie historically accurate?...with his “Doc” mask. See example below.



(http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh1iupfgrG1qcl4peo1_500.jpg).

Gort (Ray Winstone) – apparently he was in The Departed but I recognized him as Bors from King Arthur.

Nion (Nick Frost) – that dude from Shaun of the Dead.

Duir (Eddie Marsan) - The inspector from Sherlock Holmes. He’s been the bad guy in a lot of movies too that I just can’t think of right now. I think he was in Gangs of New York. I’m too lazy to read his whole IMDB page. He’s been in a lot. The end.

Coll (Toby Jones) – Claudius Templesmith from THE HUNGER GAMES (gahhhh!), Captain America, a billion other movies.

Quert (Johnny Harris) – JK, I didn’t recognize this guy.

Gus (Brian Gleeson) – Alright, I didn’t recognize him either.


Beware, there be spoilers ahead. BUT REALLY. DO NOT READ AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE MOVIE.

I don’t want anyone freaking out at me because I gave away integral details.

-                The Huntsman. What a great deviation from the a-typical Prince Charming. William was a cutie and totally heroic, I’ll give him that. The Huntsman however, was…well he’s Thor. But besides that, he’s a man in pain, trying to better himself. What a great male protagonist. The twist with Snow waking up? Wonderful. The perfect prince isn’t always the perfect one for the princess. I like that the rugged, kind of messed up guy, has a chance with the princess.

- The Fairies. Okay, everyone in the theater started cracking up when they came out of the birds' chests. I get their purpose and the fact that they helped Snow escape and all, but they were the only fairies shown. Other fairies were alluded to, sure. However, their appearance felt strange. Also, they looked like strange, creepy, little creatures. I know they were supposed to be all magical and whatever but I honestly do not think anyone in the theater could take them seriously.


-                So…who does Snow White fall for in the end? It’s the Huntsman? It’s William? She totally kissed Ravenna when she thought it was William. She wanted him then. However, at the end of the film, Snow looks for the Huntsman after being crowned. They exchange a knowing look.

Word on the street is that Snow White and the Huntsman is to be part of a trilogy. When I first heard that, I was thinking “oh cool, they’re going to do two more movies with two other princesses like Cinderella and Belle…and maybe they’ll all team up and kick ass or something.” Do I take that back? Is this going to be solely a Snow White trilogy? Can they build a trilogy on unanswered questions about a love triangle? There’s potential there, definitely, but I’m not entirely sure if there’s potential for two more movies. I guess Ravenna could totally not be dead. We’ll see.

MK says…4/5. The film dragged at some points and there were some questionable dialogue choices. However, I’d definitely say this film is worth seeing. It’s a story, an adventure story, a fairytale. It's a departure from your loved, but idyllic and protected Disney Princess. It should be enjoyed as such.

How did you feel about the ending? Would you enjoy further installments of Snow White and the Huntsman?
