Snow White & Thor

It would be like reading the fairytale in a different aspect. Rather interesting interpretation, but I pity the parents who brought the kids there expecting bambi to hop out from nowhere but left after 1 dwarf got slain... 
In conclusion,it was nonetheless a good show but with a rather abrupt ending. It was almost like you taking a morning poo and had your wife knocking on the toilet door to hurry you and you just felt like there is still a second halve amidst in the rectum. 
 
Charlize Theron...coupled with Kristen Stewart...those cleavages... no dead-faced vamp lover this time tho. I'd cum to watch them again, on dvd so I can keep them precioussssss...  All-guy show? Not really. The missus could still oogle on the sidekick and whisper in your ear "Thor leh! right? right?"
