Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)
Not so good
I really tried to watch this movie. Made it through after 3rd time. Old saying, "third time pays for all". Well I paid dearly. Time i will never get back. what to say about Charlize Theron? Complete embarrassment here. Did she not see dailies? Did no one on set dare say to her "no my dear, this is too much". No director/direction to say "can you reign it in a little". One always has heard that acting is often close to making a foll of ones' self. In this instance, in that regard, Charlize Theron achieved that goal most efficiently. As did most of the cast. And the direction. OMG. So sad. Overacting and underacting. What a mess. What a dog of a movie.
The Thorn Birds (1983)
Rachel Ward
How did Rachel Ward have a career after this? She is plain awful. Especially amidst the company of so many outstanding performers and performances. Watching her try to be dramatic almost makes me laugh! Very dab casting. Think of the great ladies. Barbara Stanwyck,Piper Laurie, Jean Simmons. She reminds me often a deer in headlights. The men overwhelm her too. But I do love this series. First time I have seen it.I would surmise that these great old mini-series have been replaced by shows on HBO, Showtime, and the like. Perhaps too expensive for regular broadcast TV. Mores the pity. But by and large this was a truly great television experience.
