Snow good

Snow White and the Huntsman ★★
Looks good in places but there isn't enough story to justify over 2 hours of plodding pouting.
Wants to be Lord of the Rings but lacks almost everything that made those films worth watching.
Not helped by Snow White who would lose out in a fairest competition to Ray Winstone's dwarven arse.

It sucks

Dark Shadows ★★
My patience with Tim Burton has finally run out.
When was the last good film he made?
Since 1999 he's directed Sleepy Hollow, Planet of the Apes, Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland and now this.  

Not sure what this is supposed to be, a comedy/horror/drama without any of those things.
