With plenty of gorgeous sweeping landscapes, a generous helping of bibbity bobbity boo, and a tightly corseted heroine, Cinderella makes her way to theaters as Disney's latest princess to get a live action adaptation. It stays very close to the original 1950's telling, not taking the generous liberties that last year's Maleficent did, but it still has plenty to inspire dreams and foot fetishes. After her father unexpectedly dies, young Ella ( Lily James ) finds herself at the mercy of her cruel stepmother ( Cate Blanchett ) and stepsisters, who reduce her to scullery maid. Despite her circumstances, she refuses to despair. An invitation to a palace ball gives Ella hope that she might reunite with the dashing stranger (Richard Madden) she met in the woods, but her stepmother prevents her from going. Help arrives in the form of a kindly beggar woman who has a magic touch for ordinary things. Director, Kenneth Branagh brings his picturesque landscapes and lo

Poster gets the point across. By Brandon Wolfe Marvel has released the official one-sheet for this summer’s feverishly anticipated Avengers: Age of Ultron . The crowded, heavily photoshopped image isn’t huge on wow factor, but it does its job well enough. It does show off all the Avengers, after all, and it’s not like you aren’t seeing this thing anyway. They could put out a poster full of stick figures and still make a billion in their sleep. More intriguing are the names appearing in the credits block beneath the image, revealing that Marvel second-stringers Hayley Atwell , Idris Elba, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders and Stellan Skarsgård will all be appearing in the film. None of those names are too surprising, but some of them had not previously been confirmed. This one is going to be a full reunion. Discuss this story with fellow SJF fans on Facebook .
