Snow White and the Huntsmen...a MUST SEE!

I really liked this adaptation of Disney's Snow White.  I thought all the actors were perfectly chosen for their role.  You wouldn't consider this a "typical" chick flick; however, I enjoyed the flourishing romance, the vain witch and her tortured nature, and the hottness of Chris Hemsworth.  The only negative was that I had a stupid group of girls who were obnoxiously loud during pivotal moments in the movie.  Had it not been for my husband, there would have been some words exchanged, popcorn thrown, and potentially even a smack down.  I'm getting heated just retelling the story. 

Honestly though, it was great. The first really good movie I've seen in awhile.  Husband/Boyfriend proof!

Overall Rating: A

Larry Crowne...pleasant surprise

I avoided this movie...not sure really why.  I think I wanted a super sappy movie or a movie I thought would be worth two hours of my time.  Larry Crowne was actually quite entertaining and I felt like Tom Hanks grabbed his friends and said, "Hey, do you want to do a movie?" and they jumped on board.  I think if I would have known Tom Hanks directed it, I would have been more enticed; however, I was in need of a chick flick fix and it accomplished my goal of relaxing entertainment.  There was a weird spin with a younger chick relationship...that could have been adjusted.  In the end, you were rooting for the characters and that's when you know its a good chick flick.

Overall Rating: B
