Movie review: Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time there was a Movie Director Who Made a couple of Well-Received independent films and finally landed a blockbuster.

Our Heroine is Catherine Hardwicke, whose credits included Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown before she kicked off the Twilight franchise, Directing the first film in the series. She was gone by the second one, But Not before Creating a signature look and, um, feel for the films. If, by chance, you've missed the ITS and the Twilight sequels, do not worry. Shiny, moody, moon-faced and dumb, Red Riding Hood pretty much replicates the experience Entirely.

This is not a good thing.
