The Huntsman: Winter's War Review

1. Entrainment Weekly

2. The author's name was not mentioned.

3. I would rate this movie at about a 6.

4. The reviewer like the costumes and make up from this movie.

5. They didn't like the script or the dialogue of the movie.

6. There’s a certain place on every movie lover’s menu for big-budget, eye-candy costume-a-paloozas – films that are all about over-the-top divas in dazzlingly ornate frocks going cheekbone-to-cheekbone as broadly as the sirens of the silent era. But there also needs to be more to them than just technical-category magic. It needs to touch your heart, not just your retinas. 

Holidays review

1. Entrainment Weekly

2. Christian Holub

3. I haven't seen this movie yet, but it doesn't look that good according to the review.
4. They liked the settings and where they filmed it and how they made it look.
5. Christian did not like the concept of the film and the idea of it.
6. Following the chronological holiday calendar, the anthology kicks off with Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, it’s the weakest of the bunch, probably because Valentine’s Day is the holiday with the least amount of mythological baggage. As motifs go, there’s the color red, and there’s the heart shape. Writer/directors Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer put both of them to use in a story about a disturbed young girl with a crush on her diving coach, who just so happens to need a heart transplant. Like Carrie, this girl is mercilessly tormented by her peers. She eventually takes revenge in a grotesque and thematically appropriate way, but the outcome is relatively easy to predict.
