Jesse, I think (re:SWaTH) that True Love's Kiss could be open for interpretation. I thought what The Huntsman expressed was a true love for Snow White the person, whereas the other Guy was feeling a more idealized love for Snow White of his memories/dreams. Or maybe the Huntman's True Love was for his wife and he was kissing Snow White and that counted. I was really happy when she didn't end up with either of them. The Huntsman never really seemed to be In LOVE with her and the other guy was more IN LOVE with Snow White as a child.
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Dang, I don't even really think Jeremy Renner is hot, and that picture really gets it done for me.
Renner isn't really my slice of pie, either, but yeah.
I saw there was a pic with a gun--that caught my eye. There was rope? Was it made of guns?
No, it was wrapped around his guns.
EpicTangent, can you settle a bet between me and a friend. is there male full frontal?
Not that I saw. Oh wait, there is a scene where one of the guys (Joe Manganiello's character, I think) seems to be using a vacuum-pump like contraption to *ahem* enhance himself. You don't actually see it from the front - it's shot so that the large/long object in a clear tube sort of inhabits the shot from the upper left side of the screen. Like the camera was just below/behind the guy's right hip. And it's a little out of focus, because the focus is on a couple of the guys talking on the other side of the room. So not full-frontal - full-side-al?
edit - because "i" is not "s"
mmhmm...that's what i thought! thanks!!
Watching Safehouse, and when Weston shot the stadium guard, I kind of cheered. Dubious protagonist shoots supposed good guy because the guy was a moron and was shooting civilians in his attempt to shoot the "bad guy". Weston takes him out to protect other innocent lives. (My cheers were extra strong because I could not believe the douchenozzle was firing into a crowd).
I know it's a deliberate contrivance to really dig Weston, but I loved that the thought was there, and that it helped fill in shades of gray that were still moral as all getout. And I don't recall a movie that ever bothered with that.
I went to see Magic Mike yesterday afternoon (me and a theater full of screaming women, and the evening show was sold out by 2:30). It was well-made, but left me pissed off for the same reason Ten Inch Hero did: nice but unconventional protagonist wins over disapproving, judgemental woman by learning to be ashamed of who he is and changing to suit her .
Saw Brave, and absolutely loved it. No reservations, either -- I thought the mother/daughter interaction was the heart of the story, and I understood it completely.
I also have horrible, horrible hair envy now.
