TJX March: Cinema Options

 Another month, another golden opportunity for what we here at Movie Jabber have dubbed as the Team Jabber Experience aka TJX. TJX is invlves us gathering together movie lovers to watch a film of choice at a certain cinema of choice toward the end of the month. Our past TJXs have proven to be quite the memorable events what with he new and old faces, new friends and shared review of the specific film 🙂

This month is no different, we have done our research and here is what March has to offer us in terms of Big Screen options:

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

 If you’re familiar with he original children’s fairy-tale Hansel and Gretel…

Plot: “The film picks up some fifteen years after the events of the fairytale, with the titular brother-sister pairing having recovered from their childhood ordeal in order to carve a career out of witch-hunting.
When children start disappearing from a small village, Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) are recruited by the mayor to sort things out. However, it soon becomes clear that there is more to the problem than meets the eye, with Famke Janssen’s sorceress hell-bent on taking the two hunters out of the equation for good.” Total Film

Oz: The Great and Powerful

The modern day prequel to the all time classic The Wizard of Oz…

Plot: Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful, directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, The Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot–fame and fortune are his for the taking–that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity–and even a bit of wizardry–Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.” Comingsoon.net
