What 'Mirror, Mirror' On The Wall Doesn't Say About Us All

The question, "Who's the fairest of them all?" is one of the most recognizable in existence -- but it's not too often that you get to hear the original "Pretty Woman" ask it.

The line conjures up childhood (probably Disney) images of Snow White, the Wicked Queen and seven dwarves -- and now it's being brought to the big screen once again in a big way, with major star power behind it. "Mirror Mirror," starring Julia Roberts and Lilly Collins, opens on March 30, while the Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron-helmed "Snow White and the Huntsman" is set to come out in June. Because I am a sucker for beautiful costumes and grew up both loving and hating princess culture, I was pretty excited to see how Tarsem Singh's "Mirror Mirror" would portray Snow White. To my surprise, I left the theater completely uninterested in fair Snow, and fascinated with the Wicked Queen and what the character's contemporary reincarnation was saying about how women think about the aging process now.
