Sno-way

Yes...one of the dwarves actually says "Sno-way" when first meeting Snow White.

It seems that Mirror Mirror (the other Snow White movie) is gonna be the "wacky" version of Snow White and honestly, as much as I enjoy Julia Roberts, this looks awful.

I get that they are going for light-hearted family fare, more like a Princess Diaries than Snow White and the Huntsman. However, the sets, acting, and special effects all look so wooden and cheap. You'd never know that it was directed by the same guy who just directed the visually stunning, Immortals.

Even the series Once Upon a Time looks like it has a higher budget (and it's actually a pretty good show, by the way).



I do enjoy me some Julia Roberts, but I'll definitely be skipping this version in March (they are very lucky they come out first!) and only paying to see the other Snow White movie with Charlize Theron playing a truly evil queen.

The only evil queen in Julia's movie is Nathan Lane.

Hungry?

The first full trailer for the much-anticipated The Hunger Games movie was released yesterday and, overall, it seems like people who have read the books are pleased.

Here is the trailer:







I haven't read the books, but there seems to be quite a fan-following around them...so lets hope the first film does well enough to merit the entire series being produced.



Fans seem to be happy that Lenny Kravits' character retained his gold eye shadow, so there's that.



We'll find out how things turn out in March when the film is released.

Who's the fairest?

This is one of the competing Snow White movies coming out next year.

This is the one without Julia Roberts.

This is the one with Kristen Twilight Stewart, Charlize Monster Theron, and Chris Thor Hemsworth.



That looks like it just might kick some ass.

Ye Gods!

In case you've missed their commercials every fifteen minutes on every channel for the past couple of weeks, the fat-free movie Immortals opens today.







If you're a fan of 300 and the Spartacus series as well as mythical, scantily clad Gods, dramatic comic book blood, and Ginsu slice and dice violence...there's a pretty good chance you're going to enjoy this too.

It features Henry Cavill (the new Superman, also immortal)...





Mickey Rourke and Stephen Dorff...





And Kellan Lutz (whose next Twilight film also opens next Friday)...





Kellan even sacrificed his shirt on the cover of the new Men's Fitness just to help promote this movie.



He's a trooper.

It looks like it's going to be a visual extravaganza with, if this clip is any indication, lots of graceful slow-motion carnage for every boy and girl in Whoville.



Ouch!

I'm in.

Gawker has a very funny review of the movie here.

Pig in Lipstick

Now that Eddie Murphy has dropped out as the host for the upcoming Academy Awards, it seems that even the Muppets are throwing their felt hats into the ring as potential replacements.



To be honest, the Swedish Chef would have been better host than James Franco was last year.



Go team Piggy!

UPDATE



Looks like Billy Crystal will be back to host.

He's always done a great job in the past.

J. DiCaprio

Here is what Leonardo DiCaprio might have to deal with at the Academy Awards this year...

Gimme a weight

Joey Lawrence has spent a lot of his free time over the years working out, especially during the phase where he wanted to be called "Joe". You remember Joe/Joey, right? The wee tot on Gimme a Break and Blossom? Here he is, pre-pecs...



I'm all for someone switching things up and lifting a weight or two, but now he's starting to look like a wax figure or something that the Bionic Woman would have knocked the face off of years ago.





As you can see here in these "candid" photos where someone "happened upon" him working out in a park with unusual, yet convenient, side lighting, he's obviously in fine physical shape and sporting a doll's hairdo.





However, he might need to give himself a break, get some rest, and lay off of the "supplements" a bit.

He's starting to look a little creepy.

Or French.

More from the Hobbit set

Peter Jackson has released another great video blog from the set of The Hobbit. This one focuses on filming the movie and drawing the concept art in 3D.



I'm glad this one is being shot in 3D (like Avatar was) rather than "converted" afterwards, which always seems to suck.

A Year in New York City

A pretty cool collection of life-in-the-big-city moments...



It makes me miss living there.

Dump Street

Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill look like High School teachers, not kids.

Enjoy this preview for the upcoming 21 Jump Street movie. The producers probably hoped that if they put a lot of swearing in the trailer, folks might overlook how awful the movie actually looks.



They were wrong.

Now, when is Hollywood going to make that Blossom movie we've all be waiting for?

Scotty's Pizza

My friend DeAnna sent me a link to that this morning.

Only 53 shopping days until Christmas....

I'm just sayin'.

Bad Boy

This movie looks like it's going to be very good and, yet, very disturbing.



It'll probably make people without children feel a whole lot better about their decision.

I think I'll start with a puppy first and see how that goes...
