Hansel And Gretel: Dead Snow

Hansel And Gretel Dept: Heck, even Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters was about a million times better than I expected. Give it a chance if you haven t seen it yet. I went in without having watched the trailer, and was surprised to see that it was written and directed by Tommy Wirkola, the guy behind one of my favourite zombie flicks, Dead Snow, according to The Chronicle Herald. If you ve already made it through all of that Oscar bait, and witch-fighting siblings aren t your thing, Halifax s Carbon Arc Cinema has just launched its new winter/spring season, with a focus on Canadian film. Full disclosure: I volunteer there and make pretty good popcorn the secret is a dash of curry powder and there are a surprisingly good number of decent films in theatres right now, guys. Django Unchained, Zero Dark Thirty, Les Miserables, and Lincoln are all pretty spectacular movies. While it doesn t hold up to the masterful combination of the mountains of Norway, zombies, and a lost Nazi regiment, Hansel and Gretel was ridiculously campy and silly. There was no lack of action or one-liners. When the credits rolled, I felt like chanting: SEQUEL, SEQUEL! (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
