Rated PG, 2012
It's amazing that two Snow White movies ("Snow White and the Huntsman" was last month) would be released so close to each other, isn't it. This one started out poorly but got much better as the old Grimm's fairy tale unfolded with some interesting changes from the "Huntsman" version and some costume colors as an homage to the Disney cartoon. I do believe that this one was closer to the original tale. Ultimately, we enjoyed it immensely and gave it ★★★★
"Sound of My Voice" with Christopher Denham, Nicole Vicius, Brit Marling, Avery Pohl, Davenia McFadden, Kandice Stroh, Richard Wharton, Matthew Carey
Rated R 2011
Two investigative journalists infiltrate a cult to secretly film an exposé of its strange goings on. Its leader is a woman who claims to be from 2054, having been born in 2030. It was a bit of a confused mess and it left a lot of dangling, unfinished plot devices, so drawing your own conclusions is a major part of figuring out what the heck happened. We gave it ★★★
