MOVIE REVIEW, By Victoria Alexander THE GOOD LEMONY SNICKET'S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS I loved every moment of this gloriously dark children’s tale. In the same vein as the terrifying, classic fairy tales of The Brothers Grimm (Hansel and Gretel easily comes to mind) and Hans Christian Andersen, the Baudelaire children are in dire physical danger.
