Who are these terrible, terrible lead actor kids and why are they interrupting a perfectly good Jeremy Irons/Emma Thompson ham-off?
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…
Beautiful Creatures, based on Kami Garcia’s novel of the same name, is another Young Adult adaptation about chaste love, supernatural forces and teenage sexual awakening. Thankfully, it is rather more entertaining than Twilight although still not without its significant problems. Ethan, a well read Southern jock longs to leave his small town until he meets new girl Lena who also happens to be a witch. As is the way with these YA stories their love is complicated by a supernatural curse as Lena must choose either to embrace the light or dark side on her 16th birthday.
Richard LaGravenese film has more personality than the majority of its counterparts but it still suffers from many of the same failings. The…

It’s like if Harry Potter had weak characters, was set in a world that didn’t seem to make any sense, and starred the future Han Solo
Sí, pero no. Está entretenida pero no voy a recordarla como una de mis películas favoritas.
Sometimes I really do not understand critics. They completely fail very good movies, and then some useless, like this one, are accepted as nearly postive, although pretentious but terribly made at the same time. 1,5 stars out of 5, no more.
The southern setting at first seems like its gonna give this one some unique flavor as a YA romance, but it really doesnt. The magic is ill-defined and barely present. And the whole "women are forced good or evil when they turn 16" thing is just gross. Some good actors cant save this
Movie Marathon Vol. 2 (Film #1)
One of the many romantic fantasy films to have attempted to fill the void left by the end of the Twilight franchise, which thankfully I've yet to see. This is certainly one of the better ones, primarily due to the strong performances, particularly from Alden Ehrenreich, who is adorable without ever being annoying, with both he and Alice Englert working well as non-typical leads for a film attempting to launch a blockbuster franchise.
I also liked the idea of creating a fantasy world out of Southern Gothic imagery and mythology, not that the world is nearly well-formed enough or established in any detail to convince that it spans beyond the confines of the film.…
A new girl in town turns out to be a witch and falls in love with a boy who has dreamed about her for months.
