August is always a hot one. But not if you’re inside watching a movie, amirite? Well, I’ve got 10 copies of The Huntsman: Winter’s War from the lovely folks at Universal, and I’m itching to give ’em to you. Synopsis!
The Huntsman: Winter’s War stars Charlize Theron (Mad Max: Fury Road, Monster) as the evil Queen Ravenna, who betrays her good sister Freya (Emily Blunt: Sicario, Edge of Tomorrow) with an unforgivable act, freezing Freya’s heart to love and unleashing in her an icy power she never knew she possessed. Retreating to a kingdom far to the north, Freya raises an army of Huntsmen as her protectors, with the only rule that no two of them should ever fall in love. As a war for domination escalates between the two queens, the hero standing between good and evil is Freya’s most elite Huntsman, Eric (Chris Hemsworth: Thor, Star Trek Into Darkness). Alongside fellow warrior Sara (Jessica Chastain: The Martian, The Help) — the only woman who has ever captured his heart — Eric must help Freya vanquish her sister or Ravenna’s wickedness will rule for eternity.
Along with the movie itself, there’s an extended version of the film, a peek behind the scenes, deleted scenes, and a director’s commentary! I thought the visuals and the performances were lovely. And I admit I’m jealous; I want to check out the Blu-ray extended cut to see how the story plays out at that length. What will you think? Only one way to find out…
Ready to get your scared on? In today’s all-cellphone-all-the-time culture, NOT watching a video is like not thinking about an elephant when someone tells you not to. (GOTCHA!)

Stranded on a desert island sounds pretty good, right? Palm trees, nice sea breezes, coconuts for days…of course, if you’re Robinson Crusoe you might be a bit worried about what’s in store. No worries though; animals to the rescue! And you can see for yourself, because I’ve got 4-PACK passes for The Wild Life! Synopsis!
