Snow White and the Huntsman movie

E-mail reminder to me
I was going to pass up Snow White  and the Huntsman  but after reading this, I changed my mind. I'm curious how Evan Daugherty re-imagined Snow White. I wonder how much was changed from the time it was submitted for the competition to the time it was being filmed. I think I'll start checking some behind-the-scenes clips about the movie.

Speaking about re-imagined fairy tales, has anyone been watching "Once Upon a Time" series? I can't get enough about the show! The production level was almost like what you expect in a movie franchise. The costumes were so beautifully made. The props were great! I thought great cast too! Man, Robert Carlisle as the Rumpelstiltskin (whew) or Mr. Gold in Storybrooke (hint)! Wow, I hope this show stays on longer than Chaos.

TV Episode Review: Once Upon a Time

Once Upon A Time 
A new show offering being aired here at StarWorld Channel every Wednesday night at 9: 55 PM with repeats the next day at 12:45PM and 5:00 PM

Episode one (Pilot)
Once Upon A Time 
I don't know where to start raving about this show. The production looked like a lot of  thought went through the development and the efforts made by the crew were tangible or noticeable enough through the props and the fabulous costumes used. You can feel that it was serious business in re-imaging the tale of Snow White. The SFX wasn't scrimped too.

I thought the casting  was great for their portrayal. Prince Charming was certainly delish. Hahaha There are several familiar faces such as Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison, Raphael Sbarge and Robert Carlisle. Jared Gilmore was perfect as Henry.

Once Upon a Time
Some people might get lost with the way the show was presented. The events taken place in Snow White and Prince Charming's world would run along side our reality until both stories reach one common ground which is Emma. I can't say much else for spoilers but I thought that made it an inventive way of writing the story. I was half expecting to see a subtitle: In a distant world much like our own where magic rules and evil queens are real...  instead it wasn't the case. It was straightforward and fast-paced. Editor Geoffrey Hildrew did a great job in keeping the momentum going between scenes. Cinematography brought by Stephen Jackson delivered an enchanting touch for both worlds. I can't wait for more.... :)

I give it 5 storybooks.

Part Three Installment "Destiny Beckons"

Catch up: 

Back from a very loooo-oong Commercial Break

The creature's antennae twitched again and soon energy beams came out from it. The beams hit the three rangers while they tumbled out of the way, uninjured. With the creature,  Indigo Vela remained unconscious.

The rangers were full-on battle mode and rhythmically struck the creature with their stylized staffs. The staves carried by the rangers bore individual alien hieroglyphs and scripts running the slender length of their staves, pulsing each time when a rangers delivered blows to the creature that refused to back down.

Adria lowered her camera and selected the close-up shots of the staff welded by Orion who was closer to her position than the rest of the rangers. The alien hieroglyphs weren't anything she'd seen. She was about to start taking pictures again when she saw the man named Pacen Eldo carrying what looked like portable rocket launcher. The device appeared like it was already on its last legs.
