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.…

Never thought I’d ever have anything positive to say in regards of this absolute piece of garbage, but I’m gonna have to say I’m honestly really proud of my 13 year old self for already having good taste in handsome acting boys *taps on shoulder*
Review by Andy Summers ★★★★ 3

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…

i watched this on a plane ride back from somewhere i think it was texas and it was one of those planes that didn't have TVs on the seats it had them hanging from the ceiling and i didn't have headphones so i didn't hear any dialogue all i remember was a house with stairs but i think that's for the best.

Review by Adam Cook ★★ 2

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…

Review by Jaqueline ★

Eu sabia que era ruim mas não ASSIM.
De primeira eu achei que seria mais um filme com atores ruins, direção ruim, etc etc ruins.
A real é que eu até me surpreendi que tem a Alice Englert, Viola Davis, Thomas Mann, Emma Thompson e Jeremy Irons. Alice confesso que conheci esse ano assistindo Them That Follow e achei ótima. Agora em 16 luas a atuação dela não tá isso tudo, mas dá pro gasto (menos o final horrível). O boyzinho também tá ok. Aí eu fiquei me perguntando O QUE TA DEIXANDO ESSE FILME RUIM?
Assim, fora os efeitos de baixo orçamento que ficaram horríveis (gastaram tudo no casting????), acho que a direção e o roteiro ficaram péssimos. Aí, sinceramente, a história em si é MUITO paia. Eu fiquei real decepcionada pq não vi nada interessante e a direção só ajudou a deixar tudo pior. Ficou só muito brega.
