Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)
Ahem! People of the internet, you have misinformed me!
Okay, so admittedly some of you out there must have informed me correctly or I'd never have watched this film. But strangely enough this film wasn't the bucket of fail that I'd been persuaded it would be.

I suppose the issue is that Jeremy Renner had just played Hawkeye and a lot of people were expecting more from him. The thing is, he's playing a cynic here and basically playing second fiddle to Gemma Arteton who is, quite frankly, AWESOME. Not that I'd know much about it, but her American accent seems pretty good, but more's to the point, she's playing a VERY different part to what she plays in "The Disappearance of Alice Creed". She's a very confident character here and kind of a badass.
