Snow White

Interviews with Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron

To help promote their upcoming movie Snow White and the Huntsman, based on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron each sat down for an interview with Elvis Mitchell as well as pose for a photoshoot (which you’ll find pics of inside). In the interview Stewart discusses working with female directors, her first role in The Safety of Objects, how Twilight helped her understand the character of Snow White, and her roles in On the Road, The Runaways, and Welcome to the Rileys. Theron talks about her fear of live performance, her love of playing characters who are hard to love, working with Tom Hanks on That Thing You Do!, and her roles in Monster and Young Adult.

Sydney White on DVD

  • Title: Sydney White
  • IMDB: link

“Does anyone know another word for douchebagery?  I don’t want to repeat it a third time.”

sydney-white-dvdAmanda Bynes stars as a Sydney White, a girl raised by her plumber father (John Schneider) who goes away to college and has a hard time fitting in as she pledges her mother’s sorority.  The movie follows a basic structure of Snow White with the young girl fighting off a witch (Sara Paxton), meeting a Prince (Matt Long), and eventually moving in with seven odd fellows.  For more on the basic plot of the film check out the original review.

You sort of want to like Sydney White.  It’s filled with nice people, it’s sweet and goofy, but it’s as appetizing as a year-old rice cake.  If you are a 7 to 13 year-old girl you might find some fun here.  From script to DVD Sydney White comes off as a cute girl trying to get through life on her looks alone and unwilling to put in anything more than the bare minimum token effort on anything else.

Sydney White and the 7 Dorks

  • Title: Sydney White
  • IMDB: link

sydney-white-posterHi-ho, hi-ho it’s off to mediocrity we go.  Sydney White falls far short of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in its attempt to tell a modern version of the fairy tale.  Is it cute?  Yes, in fact it’s just so damn precious it gives The Care Bears a run for their money.

Amanda Bynes stars as tomboyish Sydney White.  Sydney embarks on a new adventure to attend the college where her parents met and pledge the sorority her mother loved so dearly.

Raised by her father (John Schneider) on his various construction sites, after her mother’s death, Sydney is far from the ideal candidate the Kappa president Rachel Witchburn (Sara Paxton) wants in her house.  It also doesn’t help that Rachel’s ex (Matt Long), the kindest and sweetest frat guy ever imagined on film, or anywhere else, falls for Sydney’s charms in record time.
