Charlize was great again, vamping it up with tar tentacles - reminded me of so many tentacled Chinese demonesses of late. Emily was ok as an ice queen but she pales to Tilda's Jada and Elsa. Jessica does ok for action. Maybe im giving her extra ginger cred. A lot of gingerness in my view now and that's fyne.
The weird part was Nick Frost, an actor I haven't noticed before, who plays one of the dwarves. I met him on Wednesday. He joined the cast of Into the Badlands. I can spoil this because it was already announced on Variety. The other reporters were very excited to meet him and I just played along acting like I knew who he was. He was really humble and absolutely hilarious.
Note: I don't really recommend any of these films now. Greg was spot on with his criticism of my earlier raving about Mirror Mirror. To damn much Bollywood. It messes with my head.
He's in all the Simon Pegg ventures (Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul, etc...), but he's done some solo stuff too. He was in Kinky Boots. Decent movie if you haven't seen it...
