[Review] Snow White and the Huntsman

This version Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs stayed true to the key events in the fairy tale. There were the evil queen, the seven dwarfs, the prince charming, the poisoned apple, and the kiss to break the spell.

But this time, it is in a darker setting... complete with medieval wars and peasant lifestyle. A new character is also added: The Huntsman.

The plot centers on Snow White (played by Kristen Stewart). The movie does great by showing her early childhood days. Snow White's mother died of an illness and the king was full of sorrow. Then, taking advantage of the king's weakness, an army came to conquer the land. With it came the arrival of the Evil Queen, named Ravenna (played by Charlize Theron). Of course, this narcissistic queen wants to be the only beautiful one, so she wanted to kill Snow White. But our heroine escaped to the dark forest, and Ravenna hired the Huntsman (played by Chris Hemsworth) to kill her. However, our Huntsman had a change of heart and decided to help Snow White against the Evil Queen.

Well, this movie has a lot of chasing and running scenes. It gets boring at some point. Oh man! This movie is such a drag! Slow transitions from one scene to another happened at the first hour. Then it goes fast at the last minute. Character development was limited to Snow White and the Evil Queen. Some lines were inaudible as well. Or maybe that springs from the fact that I have difficulty understanding British accent. I admire the fact that the costumes were patterned after the Disney version and only the colors were altered. Special effects were okay, but could use some work. The outstanding one was the Magic Mirror Mirror! You'd be surprised! Sound effects were of common war themes.

As for the actors, some outshone over the others. My admiration goes to Charlize Theron! She breathed life to the Evil Queen. All the hidden sorrow, anxiousness, and desperation could be seen in her eyes. And oh! I like the sudden gush of rage. Chris Hemsworth did well as the Huntsman. He is the perfect macho man with the swords and knives and daggers! However, when if comes to our heroine, Kristen Stewart falls short of becoming Snow White. Her acting and reactions... joy, sorrow, pain, determination... is reminiscent of Bella Swan. Even the audience who were watching with me noticed that. The way her eyes looked and her mannerisms are still of Bella Swan.

So what did I learn at the end of the film? I am still thinking about it as of writing. Maybe I just watched it to kill time. The story didn't show a sweet, loving, kind, feminine, and strong-willed Snow White. Let me get this straight. I don't like the fact that I spend P200 on this film. I didn't watch Snow White and The Huntsman. It was more like Bella Swan and the Huntsman.

Lee Min Ho Mall Tour: SM Mall of Asia Leg

I still can't believe that it was just two nights ago (November 18, 2012), I saw Lee Min Ho in the flesh! As early as 5:30PM, I was already in SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, joining the fans as we eagerly wait for his arrival. The crowd was very overwhelming. I bet some people waited there two hours earlier than I did! Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor. His popular dramas include Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter, and Faith among others. His prowess as an actor and his to-die-for looks are enough to make women go gaga over him -me included! He is my favorite actor. I love his dramas. In the future, as I gain more skills, I plan to cosplay his characters, especially Johnny from City Hunter. He is the reason why I love Korean products like Etude House . Now, I have another brand to love... and it's a Filipino brand! I'm very happy that Lee Min Ho is the latest endorser of the clothing line, Bench . Crowds make me uncomfortable. It was my first time to have ever attended

[Review] Gluta-C Intense Whitening Body Scrub

Gluta-C Intense Whitening Body Scrub is a product that impressed me on my first try. Mostly, when I review beauty products, I use it at least a week to see the effects and results on my skin. I never thought that a body scrub can make me go "wow!" instantly! I got this from my Gluta-C Sample Room haul . And I used it the day after I got it. I was that excited! This product is packaged in a tub. It is a soft, viscous, and grainy cream. The smell is nice, too! It has a cool perfume scent. 120g tub of Gluta-C Body Scrub This is how I used this: I wet my skin and then took an ample amount of the scrub and then applied it using circular motions. Afterwards, I put liquid body wash on a loofah then rubbed on my skin. I could feel the small grains from the scrub gently exfoliating my skin. I love the combination it does with the body wash. The bubbles and the foam make it comfortable! All the while, I know that my skin is thoroughly cleansed! Here is the surprise!
