When I'm not sleeping, I'm doing something else that closely resembles sleep.
The new trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman is here and without mincing words, it looks awesome. Sure the movie stars Kristen Stewart who, in the past has been berated for her acting chops in the Twilight series, but without doubt the story, visual effects and talent around her will offset any harm she…
