Maybe it was the fact that 'Once Upon a Time' is now on TV and the CGI stuff for Mirror wasn't significantly better than OUaT. Maybe I was too distracted by Snow White's eyebrows. I kept expecting one of them to crawl away. Maybe I think Arnie Hammer is bad actor or still see him as a Winkelvoss Twin, which this wasn't that far removed from. It makes me fear for 'The Lone Ranger' despite the fact they are paying 200million for that.
I didn't much care for this one. To say it is in the league with Princess Bride is quite the stretch. I know it is all based on a fairy tale, but the story seemed very slight. There were a few amusing bits, the dwarves were very amusing, but it all was disjointed. Time to go to the forest. Time to go to the town. Time to see the Queen be bitchy.
And let's talk about Julia Roberts. Did she used to be prettier, because she didn't seem to have that spark or charisma in this film. Although she must have put on a pound because the massive vein in her forehead was noticeably absent in this picture. I never got that she was all that pretty. I felt the same about Phil Collin's daughter. (Damn those eyebrows talking to each other throughout the film) She wasn't knock me out pretty either. But maybe she was prettier than Roberts so by the standards of that land, she was the fairest of them all?
I'm going to say DM was seduced into liking this film by the massive shout-out to Bollywood at the end. I was just about to turn it off and let the credits have their way with the darkness. But then they did the where are they now bit with the Dwarves, almost funny. And then Snow White started singing and everybody started dancing and I remembered this was directed by Tarsem and suddenly we had gone Bollywood. DM is a sucker for Bollywood and that wiped out all his memories about the standing of the film.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
