The 71st annual Golden Globe Awards were tonight and the red carpet was on fire. It was hard to find some worst dressed looks because overall everyone was pretty well. Here are my best and worst looks of the night and some sprinkles of the in between.
Lily Collins (The Blindside, Abduction) and Julia Roberts (My Best Friend’s Wedding, Erin Brokovich) star in this latest adaptation of the famous fairytale, Snow White. The cast was a pretty good one which also included Armie Hammer (The Social Network, J. Edgar) and Nathan Lane (The Birdcage, The Producers). I thought the movie was ok. I don’t like cutesy. I can only take it in small doses and this one was just too much for me (The exception for me is Tangled. LOVE that movie). Also there was all this hype about Roberts playing against type and being evil but she wasn’t really evil. She was more her character in My Best Friend’s Wedding just snarkier. The movie is great family fun. Take your kids or nieces and nephews or your friend’s kids. They will very much enjoy this movie. Me not that much.
Mirror Mirror is in theaters now.
Fairy tales are the new black apparently. There are so many fairy tale projects this year (Grimm on NBC and Once Upon A Time on ABC for example) that its become official that Hollywood has no new ideas. Universal and Relativity released their trailers for their respective Snow White projects this week. Universal’s project is Snow White and the Huntsman which stars Kristen Stewart (Twilight, Panic Room), Charlize Theron(Monster, Italian Job, Hancock), and Chris Hemsworth (Thor). The film is a twist to classic story in that the Huntsman (Hemsworth) is sent to kill Snow White (Stewart) by the evil queen (Theron) but he then soon becomes her protector and they all fight to take out the evil queen.
Relativity’s film is Mirror, Mirror which stars Lily Collins (The Blind Side, Abduction), Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman, Closer, Erin Brockovich) and Armie Hammer (The Social Network, J. Edgar). It is more of the classic story that we all know and love. Roberts plays an evil queen that steals control of the kingdom and has the princess (Collins) exiled. She gets the help of seven rebel dwarfs to win back her kingdom. Hammer plays Prince Alcott, the object of the princess’ affection.
So after watching the trailers I can say that I’ll definitely be seeing both movies but I’ll looking forward to Snow White and the Huntsman more because Charlize Theron looks amazing as the evil queen. Just so deliciously evil. I’ll see this movie despite of Kristen Stewart. You see they didn’t have her say anything in the trailer. The whole selling point of the movie is Theron. Mirror, Mirror reminds me of The Princess Bride. It looks like it has that same campy, fun factor that Princess Bride had. Hell it looks very 80s. I’ll see this because there are actors in it that I like. I watch everything Julia Roberts and I have been enjoying Armie Hammer’s movies since he did The Social Network last year. Mirror, Mirror hits theaters March 16th, 2012 and Snow White and The Huntsman will be out June 1st, 2012. Which will you see? Snow White and the Huntsman? Mirror,Mirror? Neither?
