We at Rotten Tomatoes are very proud to announce the launch of Rotten Tomatoes Radio, a live, one-hour weekly show on Sirius XM Radio. Hosted by RT Editor-in-Chief Matt Atchity, and co-starring the RT editors, the show will provide the kind of informative, irreverent content you've come to expect from our site, albeit in audio form. We'll be discussing the Tomatometers for the biggest movies in theaters and on DVD and we'll have critics and filmmakers in as guests. We'll bring you the latest news out of Hollywood, and you can hear us discuss (and argue about) varied movie-related topics. Plus, you'll be able to call in and join the discussion on air every week. Rotten Tomatoes Radio will premiere on Thursday, June 7 at 6 PM EST on SiriusXM Stars Too (Channel 104) and SiriusXM Internet Radio online.
Snow White and the Huntsman opens this weekend, following closely behind Mirror Mirror and marking the second trip to theaters for the Fairest of Them All in 2012. With plenty of other folkloric fantasy adaptations in our recent past (Red Riding Hood, Beastly) and plenty more on the horizon (including Jack the Giant Killer and Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), fairy tales are having something of a moment right now -- but as any film fan could tell you, and as this week's list demonstrates, this is nothing new in Hollywood. There are countless examples of filmmakers turning to fairy tales for inspiration, but we couldn't possibly fit all those once upon a times and happily ever afters into a single feature. Which of your favorites made the cut? Find out in the latest Total Recall!
Don't call it a prequel. Or do. Wait, now it isn't. At this stage everyone's probably a little weary of the speculation over whether or not Ridley Scott's Prometheus is a direct forerunner to his 1979 classic Alien -- most of us simply can't wait to get a look at the thing. Well, the wait is (almost) over and the first reviews have started to arrive from the trades and outlets in the UK (once again those lucky geezers have the jump on American audiences). What do the critics have to say?
