Here's what you can expect Tuesday. Star ratings are by Seattle Times movie reviewers, freelancers or wire services. For full reviews, search the movie title at seattletimes.com.
"Snow White and the Huntsman" (PG-13): In Rupert Sanders' take on the familiar story, Snow White (Kristen Stewart) after growing up imprisoned by the Evil Queen (Charlize Theron) in the castle dungeon escapes into the woods, with the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) on her trail. According to Seattle Times movie critic Moira Macdonald, Theron, "smiling in a way that would put frost on tomatoes," is much more fun to root for than, "well, Bella Swan in a corset."
"What to Expect When You're Expecting" (PG-13): Five stories of expectant mothers (Cameron Diaz, Elizabeth Banks, Jennifer Lopez, Brooklyn Decker and Anna Kendrick) intertwine in this comedy based on Heidi Murkoff's popular pregnancy how-to manual.
"For Greater Glory" (R): Rubn Blades and Andy Garcia play characters on opposites sides of a fight for religious freedom in 1920s Mexico.
"Where Do We Go Now?" (PG-13, in Arabic with English subtitles): Nadine Labaki's tale a mix of comedy, music and drama follows a group of women scheming to ease tensions in an isolated Lebanese village where Muslims and Christians live side-by-side, not always peacefully.
