Jack the Giant Slayer is Full of Beans

A new Jack and the Beanstalk remix serves up the fee fey foe fum to whole new audience.

Editor's note: Jack the Giant Slayer is showing at Cherokee 16 Cinemas in Towne Lake and at Carmike RiverStone 15 Cinemas in Canton.  The CGI wizards in Hollywood have taken an old fairy tale and made it into kind of a big video game.

"Warm Bodies" is a fun little film that has successfully mashed up a romantic comedy, slapstick and cheese. The teenage and "Twilight" film crowd should eat it up, even though it lacks brains…
