Snow White and the Hunstman

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) who is 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) who was 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.

Review in 100 Words – The Road

Based on the bestselling Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name, The Road takes place in post-apocalyptic America and centers on a father and son’s struggle to reach a safe and warm place in a cruel, cold world peopled with cannibals. Viggo Mortensen plays the un-named father, mourning his absent wife (Charlize Theron) and doing anything to keep his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who is his hope, alive. Exceptionally faithful to the book, fine performance from Mortensen and Smit-McPhee brighten up the purposefully drab and colorless landscape. Haunting and yet hopeful, prepare for an emotional ride and well-made film.

The Road

From Cormac McCarthy, author of No Country For Old Men, comes the highly anticipated big screen adaptation of the beloved, best-selling and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, THE ROAD. Academy Award-nominee Viggo Mortensen leads an all-star cast featuring Charlize Theron, Robert Duvall, Guy Pearce and newcomer Kodi Smit-McPhee in this epic post-apocalyptic tale of the survival of a father (Mortensen) and his young son (Smit-McPhee) as they journey across a barren America that was destroyed by a mysterious cataclysm. A masterpiece adventure, THE ROAD boldly imagines a future in which men are pushed to the worst and the best that they are capable of – a future in which a father and his son are sustained by love.

Opens November 25th.

Stuart Townsend

The problem with Stuart Townsend is that he’s been the right guy at the wrong time, twice. The biggest role he never had was that of Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Stuart had auditioned, been hired, went to New Zealand in August of 1999 for training and was replaced after less then a week of shooting. (The part that ultimately went to Viggo Mortensen.) It’s infamy like this that will probably follow Stuart around for a few years, kind of like how Kevin Costner was cut out of The Big Chill. Read more
