I feel like I ought to begin this article with a full disclaimer. Listen. I saw Snow White and the Huntsman when it came out in 2012 and found it perfectly adequate, if entirely forgettable entertainment. Did it need a sequel? It did not. And yet, somehow, a sequel was made, and four years later…
Yesterday was William Shakespeare’s birthday. More importantly (this year), it was his 400th deathday. I feel like we ought to commemorate those more often.

Sword…
A few weeks ago an indie horror movie called The Witch (for a full review click here) hit theaters in the US, which means that it only just came out in the UK a few days ago. I saw it, I liked it, and—truly the mark of any good film—it made me think. What did…
Aight. Over the years writing for this blog I have made no secret of my deep, undying affection for the Hollywood B-Listers.
