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.…
you know what, I used to hate this movie for no reason at all but I guess the only saving grace in this is alden ehrenreich and viola davis

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…
Push past the initial terrible voiceover. Southern gothic magical teen drama. Viola Davis. Emma Thompson. Amazing sartorial choices. Spinning dinner tables. Magic snow. Everything you want, really.
I'm unemployed again so it's all aboard the Movies Every Day Train, choo choo. How handsome is Ansel tho d-d-d-damn
Guys I really liked this! I mean, yes, it is cheesy and often felt derivative of many other teenage sci-fi fantasies of this nature, but unlike most of those other films, this was actually fun. I enjoyed the hell out of Alden Ehrenreich's ridiculous accent, Emma Thompson hamming it up like she was having the time of her life, and Viola Davis, just for being alive. After just recently viewing the first season of "Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina" I have to say, this movie does the entire concept way better. Fight me.
Apparently, the book (series!?) this is adapted from was written on a dare in just twelve weeks, which may explain the formulaic, derivative, uninspired narrative---basically TWILIGHT, but Southern gothic rather than Seattle sub-pop alt-rock---but nothing can explain the menagerie of bad accents and campy performances.
