With "The Hunger Games" killing at the box office this weekend, it's clear that original stories can still attract audiences. Unfortunately, sequels and re-hashing of old stories still dominate the major releases. This year we have not 1, but 2 Snow White films coming our way. Early word is that "Mirror Mirror" captures the wit that made the Shrek films so successful, while the latest "Snow White and the Huntsman" trailers look quite promising. Mirror Mirror hits theatres this coming Friday.
MIRROR MIRROR (Mar 30)

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN (Jun 1)
