“You can’t help it. Fitting in anywhere. Drooling charm.”
Going to start my justification of my ridiculously high rating by stating that Beautiful Creatures oozes a YA charm that went virtually extinct shortly after its release. Returning to that genre alone elicits a sense of joy that’s sometimes hard to recreate. It’s nostalgia fueled and built on the deep longing I sometimes feel to return to my adolescent years if only to tell myself to stop worrying so much about what others think and be proud about the things I like.
I put this on partially as an easy background noise movie that I could make fun of a little bit for its corniness and partially because Zoey Deutch is…

Film#52 of 'It's June Jim, but not as we know it'
Doomed from the start to be considered a Twilight clone, this film deserves a lot more credit for actually being watchable and somewhat interesting.
Sure, this film is trope heavy, covering just about every base imaginable a film based on a fantasy novel for young adults should cover, but found the backdrop rather charming and some characters actually interesting. These stories always have to be about troubled love and for that to work you need a central couple to believe and invest in.
In Beautiful Creatures this partly succeeds. Alice Englert is ok, but a bit one-note. It is Alden Ehrenreich, however, who completely sells this film for me.…

I had seen this for the first time back at the start of December and really enjoyed it. Needless to say when the wife asked if I wanted to join her in watching it again, I did it with a happy heart.
The Young Adult genre was something new to me. I'd heard people talk about it but wasn't entirely sure what it was. When someone mentioned "Twilight", I kind of got the gist of it. I'm never too keen to admit it but I'm a fan of "Twilight". A lot cleverer than it's given credit for, it found a niche in the book buying market and exploited it to the max. The inevitable films were always going to be…
Some quick thoughts:
-For a film titled Beautiful Creatures, it’s a reallyyyy ugly film with some reallyyyy shitty cinematography and effects
-Also has some horrible music that for some reason is in every single scene and gives it a knockoff Twilight vibe
-Wait I think the Twilight vibe was just everything, this is the most YA movie to ever YA
-Alden Ehrenreich is the only reason this is even vaguely interesting for the last hour
-Speaking of hours, why was this two hours long? To their credit, it feels slightly shorter, but still
-I feel very bad for this cast, I get that bills need to be paid but the only reason I can think of taking this script on…
