Cassie West Great movie. Has a lot action and motivation, you can see it in the actors' faces. Fantastic choreography with a lot of movement and excitement, also magical in various ways. No they didn't repeat scenes and no they didn't use macaroni as power balls. Very magical and I absolutely love this. I cannot stop watching it!!! Maybe the cover didn't fit with the movie, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't fantastic. Maybe it it didn't even have a gingerbread house like the actual Hansel and Gretel story, but this is more of a modern version. The witch's man voice showed how aggressive she was.Even though my family and I saw the microphone on the reflection on the window in the movie, doesn't mean the movie was crappy, it's just a little mistake.

sjresh All I can really say, is why was this movie made? Is it a joke, or is this suppose to be a serious film, cause I just can not see it no matter how hard I try. And yet it's not funny either. It's not funny, it's not serious, and it's not anything in between. I guess the only way I can view this movie is that it is one of the biggest waste of film I have ever seen, and that's being nice. The acting is elementary, the script is sterile, and the scenery and back drops are so repetitive it's annoying. So if you have about 90 minutes to waste, I would put on some music, instead of this, and be content that you made the right choice. I know others were kinder, but maybe I just expect more if actors are going to be paid for this kind of work. Especially if a big name actor is involved in the production.

nosb-943-956718 This film is rubbish as a film and the stars are not for it in that respect but instead as a brilliant party game. Grab some friends, a few drinks and take a shot every time there is a mistake but drink responsibly people pick one type of mistake as in one of the characters same scene costumes changes or getting the name of the school wrong or the same people in the background etc you get the idea do not do it for all mistakes because you will be hammered ten mins in although that would maybe make the rest of the film better. It is comical for how bad it is and if you can watch it with a sense of humour you will be fine but if you are a serious movie watcher do not bother you will be seriously disappointed.

suite92 Twins Jonah and Ella go to an elite prep school (Lebkuchen Haus, which is German for gingerbread house; the only reference to the fairy tale) because Jonah is always getting into fights. This is ridiculous enough that it might be a good enough reason to stop watching the film.Jonah is assigned a room with Charles, who does not get along well with others. Nice. Charles warns Jonah that one either eats or gets eaten at the school. Charles is at the school through scholarship obtained by merit. Jonah is there through influence from his adoptive parents; he was born into a lower social setting. So, Charles has two reasons not to like him.Ella is assigned a room with Kristen, who works on the school paper. Kristen used Google to find out all sorts of information about Ella. Kristen thinks she has a kick-ass story that will blow the lid off the school.In Jonah's first class (held outside; sure), Ms Thomas goes on about Golding's hypothesis that humans naturally reject civilisation whenever possible and descend into savagery. Jonah appears not to be listening, but then again, he's a perfect example of the lesson. When asked about what had been said, though, Jonah summarised it in one sentence.Jonah finds that there are witches at the school, and they invite him to join. They know, somehow, that he has a circular birthmark at the back of his head, just as all of them do. They show him that he can do some unexpected things, and swear him to secrecy.Charles warned of students going missing; he decides to leave before it happens to him. Kristen goes missing; Ella tries to follow her research. She ends up following Jonah, and asks him what he has been up to; Jonah stays quiet about it. Some of Kristen's research involves the coming of European witches to America, and the attempt of the 'Great Witch of the Woods' to rule in the Americas. Despite the fact that many of the followers were put down in Salem, the GWW is still alive and about 400 years old, and has new followers in the Circle. The job of the Circle is to find young souls for the GWW to feast on. The counter current here is the presence of a few who have witch skills but are tasked with killing evil witches; these people would be 'witch slayers.'-----Scores-----Cinematography: 5/10 Amateurish. The re-use of some of the campus stock footage was beyond irritating. Some short clips were each repeated at least ten to twelve times.Sound: 0/10 Fracking hideous. The sound has multiple personalities: (a) pieces of the score sound as if they were made in the 1970s by an out of work composer with a lesser grade synthesizer (b) other pieces are florid, symphonic, and ridiculous for an action film (c) another set of background music is second rate industrial, say late 1990s. Some of the conversations were very badly miked, and sounded noticeably hollow.Acting: 0/10 The leads were dull non-actors who are a huge anchor around the neck of this drowning film. Booboo, in particular, is so poor that it is painful to watch any scene he is in. His attempts to read a sentence from a book were pathetic. Judy Norton and Eric Roberts were wasted. Roberts' slurred speech in the early scenes sounded as if he was recovering from something, and that hair cut was laughable. What was the director thinking? Screenplay: 0/10 Why would an ineffective ruffian (Jonah) be placed in an elite prep school? It's like asking a fish to walk 100 miles in a desert at the height of summer. What were the real reasons that he was admitted? Why would his sister go as well? The answers come late, and were not that interesting when they showed up. The dialog was between sub-standard and just plain bad. The great dramatic moment at the end was a complete dud.SFX: 0/10 Laughable: both uninteresting and not believable. Zero was too high a score.
