One of the most beloved stories of all time is coming on March 30^th for the whole family, Mirror Mirror.  A fresh and funny retelling of the Snow White legend, Mirror Mirror features breakout star Lily Collins (The Blind Side) as Snow White, a princess in exile, and Oscar®-winner Julia Roberts as the evil Queen who ruthlessly rules her captured kingdom. Seven courageous rebel dwarfs join forces with Snow White as she fights to reclaim her birthright and win her Prince in this magical comedy filled with jealousy, romance, and betrayal that will capture the hearts and imaginations of audiences the world over.  The film also stars Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as the Prince, and Nathan Lane (The Birdcage) as the hapless and bungling servant to the Queen.

The Queen in this new version of the classic Snow White story. The script -credited to Marc Klein and Jason Keller -delivers a merry kid-level corrective to Disney, and while parents will have been there and done that, the verbal wit and Tarsem’s visual invention make “Mirror Mirror” entirely tolerable. Even so, if you are willing to overcome your disbelief in the end, the greater part of this movie is not half as bad. Especially  because the story appears to have been scripted with a lot of focus on Julia’s  character. It’s almost as if this version was written by the evil queen herself.

The movie “Bully” is a documentary that focuses on children bullying one another. It is a film to raise awareness on the issue and show the perspective of being the victim. The F-word is heard in the film and some movie critics say the film should be rated-R, because of use of the foul language. But, if the film is rated-R, then this would not allow kids to see the film. Especially it is made to target these middle school and high school students. The movie company wants to “bleep” out the F-words to make it rated-PG 13, allowing kids to go see the film without a parental guardian. However, the producers prefer to keep the F-words to make a stronger impact on the viewers. F-word or no F-word we can all agree that “Bullying” is not Fun.

Nicki Minaj performed her latest hit “Starships” in American Idol. She asked one of the judges Jennifer Lopez, to “scoot over a little bit” from the judges’ table. Jennifer Lopez’s response was not so friendly “There’s not enough room for both of us!” Jennifer laughed nervously. Looks like Minaj cannot move Lopez from the throne.
