Frankenweenie Film Trailer Review

Tim Burton is back ready to scare the hell out of the 21st century children with Frankenweenie. To an adult perspective, Frankenweenie may very well be another kid's film, but if you carefully look pass that aspect, the ideas and the general dark presentation (theme) of the film is more likely aim for adults. It is perfect right? An animated film that everyone can enjoy.

Tim Burton has been known for his usually dark and quirky-themed movies which extends to Frankenweenie. If you lost someone dear to your life, it is only natural to want them back but of course it is not possible, but what if you can? That is what this stop motion animated film plays with. This time, Burton went with the animation to avoid possible conflict which his original 1984 Frankenweenie encountered: It was said that Burton was fired by Disney after the film was completed; the studio claimed that he had wasted company resources and felt the film was too scary for young audiences. But times are changing and so does kids tolerance with violence and dark themes. But to probably play safe, Burton may went with the 3-D stop motion animated remake.

Jack The Giant Killer Film Trailer Review

Unfamiliar with the "Jack the Giant Killer" fairy tale, this one can easily be mistaken as a dark "Jack and the Beanstalk", but further in the video you'll notice that there are more giants and a glimpse of war and these proves that this is not what you first thought of it. It can be a variation of it though.



Yes, another Hollywood film adaptation of a fairy ale and who's complaining, right? If you want to see another fairy tale story we grew with put to film by Hollywood for a more adult audience, then this is just perfect. Some scenes in the trailer show actual actors not blending well with the CGI environment and IO hope this doesn't take anything away from the film experience or hope hey flawlessly blend it while it is on its final production phase. The trailer is a good teaser for he film, providing the mystery of what the giants are like or the conflict between men and giants.

Snow White and the Huntsman Trailer Impressions: All Hail the Queen?

Snow White and the Huntsman is a very promising fantasy adventure film with a fresh, more grittier ad darker take on the beloved children's classic, the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Slated for a June 2012 release, will Snow White and the Huntsman, another darker Hollywood take on an acclaimed fairy tale be a good one or not? Let's find out.



Snow White and the Huntsman
Plot

In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Charlize Theron) out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White's beauty and power. The breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale is from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, producer Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders.

Snow White and the Huntsman Trailer Review

There have been various film incarnations of the fairy tale of Snow White but that didn't stopped Hollywood from making another one. This time, a fresh new take on the story of the girl whose skin is as white as snow gets a fresh new darker take in the same sense as Alice in Wonderland (2010) and Red Riding Hood (2011). Catering more on the adult market such films have so much expectations and so much to loose. What does the trailer say about this darker film based on a fairy tale?



Right off the bat, let me say that this trailer looks promising. Who would have thought that "that" seemingly awkward female protagonist from that indescribable film (not in a good way) called Twilight, would actually be even considered as the fairest of them all. Well hopefully we don't get that awkward acting on this film. Glad it is not just her but the Mighty ehr... Huntsman is in it as well. So we know that the action part is already covered. And then we have Miss Charlize Theron! We know how wicked that witch is (well in the story), but this time Charlize gives her a whole lot more justice by making her as bad to the bones. We already know what will happen to this story but the journey going towards that finale is what picques people's curiosity. Besides the "Tron: Legacy"-ish type of sound playing on the background and that Kristen Stewart. I have nothing else to complain about Snow White and the Huntsman.



How about you guys? What do you think about this trailer? How about Hollywood creating films based of popular literary classics (fairy tales) but giving them with a much more darker look and feel? Share your thoughts at our comments section below:
