seichanThere were two fairytale-based tv dramas that started this week. Once Upon A Time is based on Snow White. Snow White and the Prince are cursed by the witch, and their daughter who is transported to our time is the only one who can save them. Her young son whom she gave up for adoption finds her, and brings her to the town where everyone is a fairytale character, but doesn't realize it. The witch is the Mayor and the boy's adopted mother. It is as bad as it sounds for the most part. I think it wants to be Twilight, but is very bad at it...if that is even possible.
The 2nd show is Grimm where Grimms are a line of supernatural hunters; think Buffy x Superman...cause Nick, the main character, looks like Clark Kent and his grandmother, funny enough, looks like Lex Luther. I guess one of the writers or creators also worked on Buffy, so some of the humor and production has that familiar geeky humor. The first episode is based on the Red Riding Hood story. If it retains that self-awareness and humor, it could be a fun show to watch.
There are apparently two new Snow White movies coming out, too. One with Kristen Stewart and another with Julia Roberts....what's with the Snow White revival?
