<\/a><\/div>\nIt seems to be time for women warriors (in movies that is).<\/p>\n
First – Katniss<\/b> in The Hunger Games<\/a> (which was a fantastically written book by the way).<\/p>\n Second – Snow White<\/b> in Mirror, Mirror<\/a> (it’s got Julia Roberts – it’s gotta be good!)<\/p>\n Third – Snow White<\/b> (again) in Snow White and the Huntsman<\/a> (okay Chris Hemsworth as her protector is the draw for me)<\/p>\n Fourth – Merida<\/b> in Brave<\/a> (Pixar movies are required viewing in our house)<\/p>\n I intend to see all of these movies – not because there is a female lead, but because they look like great movies. I think much will be made out of the fact that Snow White is getting a makeover from her syrupy sweet persona into a strong warrior princess. I don’t care, (though I will say when we went to Disney a few years ago at the Princess Breakfast Snow White was the only one that was a bit creepy . . .). I think women have always been strong role models whether they are out slashing the the enemy with a sword or setting up teepees or getting dinner on the table. I don’t need a movie to tell me that. I look to movies to entertain me for a couple of hours.<\/p>\n I also intend to see The Avengers<\/a> (it’s got THOR!) and The Amazing Spiderman<\/a> (I like superheros, okay?) and of course The Hobbit<\/a> (that will be a birthday treat in December).<\/p>\n Funny, I generally don’t go to movies when they first come out (too expensive), but it looks like I’m making an exception this year – better start saving all my change!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It seems to be time for women warriors (in movies that is).
