Grimm's Snow White (2012)
Good low budget fantasy
This was pretty good. I think the scenery was absolutely lush and beautiful and made half the movie. The action didn't flag, and the characters were mostly stock but well defined and played.
I know this sounds like faint praise. But, for a production produced by The Asylum, this is very very good.
I've seen a few of their 'mock' busters. This was much better than their usual, cheap fare.
If you like fantasy, with a beautiful central/southern European flavor, then watch this.
The stepmother was well played, as were many of the elf characters. The only miscasting was Snow White. She was the wrong one for that role. But fortunately Snow White had a small part, for all that the title promises.
In this age of high end special effects, they managed pretty well using basic computer graphics tools. Pretty soon, special effects in films of any budget will be good.
Truly Madly Deeply (1990)
A great movie...
A great movie, will make you laugh and cry ... and so much better than ghost story. Hard to believe that the two in this film never had an opportunity for really stunning lead roles later on. But they are great!
Alan Rickman is Snapes in the Harry Potter films. He also was in Die Hard, as one of the bad guys I think.
Juliet Stevenson has been in many great films, some very serious too. But folks may remember her in Bend It Like Beckham as the nutty mom who thinks her daughter is a lesbian because she likes football. I think she has been given some knighthood type of award by the queen of England
Don't miss this one.
