MIRROR MIRROR (2012) - April 4, 2012
A moderately entertaining retelling of the Snow White story.  Though the film was aimed squarely at children, there was (mostly) enough here to keep adults satisfied.  Tarsem's direction was, as usual, visually audacious -- but actual storytelling continues to be a weak point, though he has gotten better since his first two films.  The performances were all quite good -- Lily Collins made for a charming Snow White, and Julia Roberts was obviously having a lot of fun in a rare villianous role.  **1/2
