What is with this recent spate of movies based on fairy tales? The Red Riding Hood thing going on this year, and the Snow White thing that will be happening next year.

Red Riding Hood. It looks visually nice, but it's so Twilight that I'm not surprised most people don't want to see it.

Hoodwinked 2, which I only know about from a poster I saw around the city, but I think it's only limited release. Looks a bit amateur though, with Shrek type lame jokes.

And next year will be Snow White's turn. I hope both movies will do better, especially Tarsem's Snow White (with Relativity Media). Looking at his record though, I'm guessing Tarsem's will be visually superb with a kind of just-alright storyline.
