SYNOPSIS
In this spectacular action-adventure, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) is Snow White, the only woman in the land fairer than the evil queen Ravenna (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron). Ravenna wants nothing more than to destroy her young rival, but she doesn’t know that Show White has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) the queen dispatched to kill her. Together with a handsome prince (Sam Claflin) enchanted by Snow White’s beauty and power, they assemble an armed force to recapture the kingdom.

We loved this movie! I love the twist on this classic fairytale.  No more cutesy characters, this is a movie for adults!  It has action, intrigue, a little bit of romance and when it ends, it leaves you wanting more!  Charlize Theron is an amazing actress and was made for this film.  Her pure evilness is believable and you despise her and her brother.  Another great choice was Chris Hemsworth!  He sure knows how to wield a sword! I am just in awe at all the special effects and amazing imagery in this film!

The movie is rated PG -13 for a reason!  There is a few battle scenes, murders and other scenes that can scare children.  Just because it has Snow White in the title, does not mean it if for kids!

Thinking of throwing your own Snow White movie party?  Here are some fun ideas to get the party hopping:

Snow White's poisoned apple cider from SheKnows.com
Unlike the poison apple in Snow White, this cocktail is incredibly delicious and only poisonous to children! I warn you, these are strong and may cause you to think the animals are talking to you or little dwarves are following you around.
Yields: 4 poison apples

Ingredients:

• About 2-1/2 cups apple cider (either store bought or prepared with this recipe)
• 4 shots spiced rum, like Captain Morgan's (about 1 cup)
• 4 large apples
• 4 cinnamon sticks

Directions:

1. Cut the top off the apples, set aside. Using an apple corer (or spoon), remove the insides of the apples, leaving about a 1/2 inch on the bottom (so it doesn't leak out).
2. Mix together 3/4 cup of cider and 1 shot of rum (or gauge the amount depending on the apple's size).
3. Pour mixture into the cored apples and serve with a fresh cinnamon stick.
