Cheesy cheesy goodness

Mr. Mousie and I went to see In Time yesterday and both enjoyed it (I thought it would be an awesome pilot for a cool scifi show a la Dark Angel. *sigh*)

But this is not the post about that. This is the post about one of the movie trailers in front of it - The Vow, starring Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. First off, Channing Tatum does ridiculous things to my hormones - I like my guys slightly beefy/jocky-looking and mmmm. More importantly, it's as if someone decided that John Abraham/Vidya Balan subplot in Salaam-e-Ishq deserved its own movie.

!!!!!!!

If you are not a Bollywooder, basically the plot is that Channing and Rachel are newly-weds, they get into a car accident and she forgets him entirely and he has to get her to fall in love with him again. It looks beyond swoony:

Speaking of men who make me non-verbal, Thor's Chris Hemsworth is very high on the list. So I will check out Snow White and the Huntsman just for him. Or for him and a medieval setting as I am a sucker for the same. Sadly, Kristin Stewart cannot act to save her life and am a little dubious as to how many Snow White stories do we need anyway - Once Upon a Time is currently filling my quota.

Now, too bad the huntsman and Snow White are unlikely to hook up :P

Trailer does look gorgeous though - I have never been able to refuse a medieval setting - too few movies are set then.

Actually, I think Snow White/Huntsman is the OTP of that movie? (Which is apparently the start of a trilogy.)

I find the Snow White revival interesting? I wish there were other tales (like "Snow Queen" or "East of the Sun, West of the Moon," which are my favorites) getting attention instead of just the one, but I think there are interesting things to be done with the different mythic versions of Snow White.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Are they? I thought this version had a Prince Charming. But we'll see.

I don't get the sudden Snow White fixation. Growing up, my favorite tales were Russian, Anderson (Snow Queen!) or Middle-Eastern but there are plenty of other even Western European stories that are not Snow White.

I can't wait till Snow White...I am watching it just for Charlize Theron and swoon-inducing Chris Hemsworth!!!! And Kstew...not impress that she was chosen as Snow White...Ginnifer Goodwin was a much smarter choice. Oh well...


The Vow...next Valentine`s Day movie...I hope it will be a good ending. Because isn`t there a 3rd guy fighting for Rachel McAdams`affection?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am sure it will have a happy ending ;)

Yeah, your views on Snow White are mine as well.

Actually, Kristen Stewart can act in movies that aren't Twilight. It's really weird how that franchise makes all the actors so lifeless when they're all really fantastic in other things. (Jackson Rathbone was amazing in a really disturbing episode of Criminal Minds)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Really? She was dreadful in Twilight and her expressions in this trailer reminded me of Bella so ... am worried.

[littledelusion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've seen her in random other stuff and I heard she was really good in Panic Room.

Why oh why do I not know about The Vow??...have I mentioned that I have rewatched Salaam-e-ishq five hundred time just for Vidya and John's storyline?? (why hasn't Bollywood paired those two up again?) and I absolutely adore Rachel Mcadams...heck I even rooted for Regina 'cuz of her in Mean Girls (good old HS days)..so basically what I want to say is that..I WANT THIS STAT!!!
don't actually think much of Channing's acting abilities, but I could live with him if he loves Rachel....also he can't be as bad as Kristen Stewart...in the words of my best friend, I could probably act better than her..as a cow...sigh...the trailer for Snowhite looks really goodand Charlize is breathtaking and I would really want to watch it excpet Kristen is a big turnoff to me...majorly allergic!!!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I don't think Channing can act either, but I find him so massively hot, I don't care. It does look like he and Rachel (who I love) have awesome chemistry, so hopefully this will be good.

I am allergic to K.Stew as well but will make an exception for this one.

The Vow's plot reminds me of a movie I watched a year or two ago, except it was the husband that lost his memory after an accident. Sounds like good times.

Oooh, the Snow White trailer. I watched it a few days ago and was intrigued by the premise (Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman doesn't hurt). For some reason, though, I've got a few doubts about how it'll be pulled off. Doesn't matter because I'm a sucker for fairy tale interpretations, so this is high on my list of movies to check out.

Speaking of which, I was finally able to watch Once Upon a Time tonight, and I'm so glad that I liked it after all! I'm going to catch up with the episodes I missed when I get the chance.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yay about Once Upon a Time! Am obsessed with it.

[themadpoker.livejournal.com]

Have you seen Kristen Stewart in anything other than Twilight? I ask because I get the impression that she (and well, almost everyone involved in that franchise) just cannot be bothered to put any effort in. She's much better in Runaways and I've heard good things about her other work.

And I have to say that trailer left me shipping Evil Queen/the Hunstman more but I suspect your hope is likelier to happen. ;)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't but honestly, I know Twilight is crap but she should have at least put some effort into it.

[village.livejournal.com]

I can't comment on KStew's acting ability as I've only seen her in Twilight but I find it boggling that she's supposed to be the "the fairest of them all". I mean, she's a pretty girl. But. I mean. Really? Are they being literal with the word fairest here? Because that's the only way this makes sense to me.

[happahaole.livejournal.com]

I agree. The casting of Kristen Stewart as Snow White disappoints me...but I guess we'll have to wait until the movie airs to see if she did a good job or not.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Exactly. It is so weird.

Goodies, Oh-yeah

[(Anonymous)]

SW looks good and I think Channing his hot in whatever project he deigns to present himself in.

The "fairest of them all" franchise is in keeping with the meaning I understood as a child. It's the pure of heart that matters as beauty is very subjective....SW here is giving off a Joan of Arc vibe though.

Re: Goodies, Oh-yeah

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmm, Channing Tatum. *fans self*

[spunspider.livejournal.com]

... how on EARTH did i miss that chris hemsworth was in this??!!!!!!!!!

personally i'm hemming for threesome; clearly charming's unimportant here. ^__^ i hope kristen can act, too. i love her and rpattz irl they are sources or perpetual joy to me, so i'm rooting for her! snow white in armour in the midst of battle's my kind of thing and apparently hers, too.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

LOLOL yes threesomes!

[semigemi.livejournal.com]

It's so odd to see so much Snow White stuff coming out en masse, there are other fairytales you can do hwood. That being said I love medieval stuff so I'm interested in it, but Kristen tho...

John & Vidya were my favourite s/l in Salaam-e-Ishq, I wanted so much more of them. I'm probably going to end up youtubing vids from the movie now lol

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Oh, I shipped them so had in SeI, it was sick.

[mainemilyhoon.livejournal.com]

How did I not know about that movie? I love Channing Tatum, and amnesia stories.

I can't decide whether I want to see Snow White or not. Apparently I'm the only woman in America who doesn't like Chris Hemsworth, and I don't care for Kristen Stewart, but the trailer kinda makes me want to watch it.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am into SW only for him so if you don't like him, skipping might be a good idea.

[joonni.livejournal.com]

oh wow, thanks dangermousie for introducing me to "The Vow" and "Snow White and the Huntsman." I love Rachael McAdams. She makes such a good romance movie partner because she is so small compared to most of the leading men.

Generally speaking, being bred on kdramas, I find the movie romance format inadequate in fulfilling my romance needs. I always walk away wanting so much more.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, movies are snacks and dramas are four-course meals :)

[happahaole.livejournal.com]

She forgot she was married to that hunk of a man? lol fail...
but the movie looks rly cute

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I know, how is that possible :P

[ladysaotome.livejournal.com]

The Vow reminds me of a true story I read about back in the 90s. The wife was in an accident and forgot the past two years so she didn't remember even meeting him. Plus, her personality changed; her tastes, temperament, everything. But he wooed her and won her heart again. Wonder if the movie is based on that story...?

[ladysaotome.livejournal.com]

Update - it is! That's pretty cool! http://channingtatumunwrapped.com/2010/10/casting-news-two-new-actors-join-channing-tatum-and-rachel-mcadams-in-the-vow/

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, yay!

[jennyhime.livejournal.com]

I adore Rachel McAdams but Channing, sure he is hunky but a great actor not (I guiltily admit to watch his movies) and I now I will be all over this movie crying my eyes eating chocolates. Just like I did watching the Notebook.

Snow White does look awesome and Charlize looks fabulous and looks gorgeous. Visually the movie looks awesome but still think they cast the wrong Snow, Kirsten is as charismatic as a block of wood. I do hope the other Snow white movie with Lily Collins as Snow and Arnie Hammer as the Prince is good.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I know, it's going to be Notebook mark too :)
