It's phenomenal. End of story. Seriously. I saw this Sunday night, and I couldn't get over how fantastic every bit of it was. The characters are rounded--they're, not only believable, but they complement one another tremendously. Jeremy Renner is a perfect sarcastic killer, while Gemma Arterton reclassifies the badass heroine every fantasy tale deserves. The… Continue reading Movie Mention: Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
