You just named all of my favorite parts of the movie! The scene with the fairies was just awful...in a good, dark, scary way. But it wasn't splatter-gory; it was scary just because the idea of it was scary...if that makes any sense. :^P
The knife in the mouth and stitching afterwards...well, you can probably imagine that I really cringed there. I was tempted not to watch, but I'm trying to get over that whole blood-phobia thing! And Mercedes...yes! I honestly think that she is one of the best female characters I've ever seen portrayed in a movie. She's brave and resourceful but wonderfully kind at the same time...but none of it unrealistically so. Or I didn't think.
We're seeing CoM this Friday, so I will write a review right after, just for you! :) I'm so excited to see it, since you liked it more than PL and Slate magazine also chose it as the best movie of last year and the most snubbed (not Dreamgirls) by this year's Academy Awards. I've wanted to see it since I saw the first preview months ago.
