“Beautiful Creatures ” available on Blu-ray Combo pack, DVD and Digital Download 5/21
Plot: A young man in South Carolina (Ehrenreich) falls for a new classmate (Englert) who has superpowers.
Who’S It For? The teen demographic is definitely the target of this film, as Beautiful Creatures features typical high school drama, and even extended make-out sessions. Driven by honest performances, this movie is for the supernatural-inclined young adult crowd who are at least somewhat familiar with Twilight, etc.

Movie:
The most effective spell cast by Beautiful Creatures is indeed its two leading cast members, who are newcomers to the game of Hollywood moviemaking. Previously, Ehrenreich has only been scene in less mainstream »

What to Rent: New DVDs This Week
19 hours ago | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »
Parker and Stand Up Guys are also available on DVD this week. Beautiful Creatures Alice Englert stars as a witch in this romantic, fantastical movie that may fill the void left by the end of the Twilight franchise. Set in the South, the adaptation of the young-adult novel follows Lena (Englert) as she discovers her powers and falls for local boy Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich). Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson, and Viola Davis add some actor credibility to the cast, but it's Ehrenreich's charisma that makes the biggest impression. The DVD comes with a trailer for author Margaret Stohl's next book, plus deleted scenes. 45% Side Effects Steven Soderbergh directs Rooney Mara and Channing Tatum in a stylish thriller that puts antidepressants under the microscope. When Emily's (Mara) therapist (Jude Law) prescribes her a new drug to treat her anxiety, she comes out of the daze she's been in since her husband (Tatum) returned from prison. »

Review: Beautiful Creatures
20 May 2013 1:59 PM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
In the wake of Star Wars’ massive and surprisingly success, studios went looking for the next Star Wars. We’ve seen this cycle again and again, which has led to some good things (the revival of Star Trek in 1979) and some bad (the original Battlestar Galactica). In the wake of Stephanie Meyer’s perplexingly popular Twilight, publishers and film studios alike have been demanding the next Twilight. Hungry authors have been more than happy to fill the order with way too many urban fantasies reading like made-to-order hash. What everyone loses sight of is that Star Wars and Twilight each staked out territory that had not been overly mined in the period before their arrival. So, what makes any of the imitators succeed is how well executed it is and how much the formula is given fresh ingredients to keep it from feeling like warmed up leftovers.

Werewolves Come To The Rescue In New Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones Trailer
1 April 2013 10:13 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Straight from the halls of the Anaheim Convention Center during WonderCon, we have the brand new trailer for The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, courtesy of Apple! While everyone points to Harry Potter, Twilight and The Hunger Games as examples of blockbuster hits, the truth is that the young adult adaptation genre has seen its fair share of disappointments over the last few years. I Am Number Four, based on the book by Pittacus Lore (aka Jobie Hughes and James Frey), and Beautiful Creatures, based on the work of Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, were both box office disappointments, and even Stephenie Meyer's The Host, which just came out last weekend, was considered an under-performer. So what will the fates have in store for The Mortal Instruments? Based on the first book in the series by Cassandra Clare, the new movie stars Lily Collins as Clary Fray, a seemingly »

Anyone else super duper excited about the upcoming individual novels by "Beautiful Creatures" co-authors Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia? This year, each of the two "Creatures" authors will offer up her first solo book since become a best-selling duo with their enchanting southern gothic series (the pair have previously released individual non-"BC" short stories in anthologies like "Shards and Ashes," "Foretold: 14 Tales of Prophecy and Prediction," "Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions" and "Rags & Bones").

This exclusive sneak peek of Stohl's "Icons" is available over at The Guardian, and it looks like Stohl will be serving up a heart-pounder indeed. Very intens . »

Beautiful Creatures comes to DVD in May
24 March 2013 9:16 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Beautiful Creatures, based on the novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, has been a bit of a disappointment for Warner Bros, which has seen a modest domestic box office of $19,205,917. Around the world, the film has also been a so-so performer, which probably means there won’t be a sequel.
Despite positive reviews, the movie was liked better by the audience than the critics according to Rotten Tomatoes, but we suspect it will perform better on home video. Here’s the release details on the DVD, coming in May.
Burbank, CA, March 19, 2013 – An electrifying love story unfolds as Beautiful Creatures arrives onto Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital Download on May 21, 2013 from Warner Home Entertainment Group.

I Love You”), Beautiful Creatures takes you on a supernatural journey as two high school students pursue a tantalizing forbidden romance that leads »

Beautiful Creatures Will Hit Blu-ray And DVD In May
21 March 2013 12:39 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Steeped in magic and southern lore, Beautiful Creatures is a unique film following a teen love story intermixed with the supernatural. Based on the book by Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia, Richard Lagravanese.s film is gorgeously shot and its script is witty, if you are willing to go on a ridiculous ride (I even preferred it to the book). If you missed out on the movie, you.ll be able to catch Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.s picture when its Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download on May 21. I.ll tout the fun aspects of the film all day, but despite my fervent thumbs up, Beautiful Creatures barely made a mark at the U.S. box office, only bringing in a little over $19 million domestically on a $60 million budget. A sequel may be out of the question at this point, but if you get the chance to check out the »

Beautiful Creatures Blu-ray Release Date, Details and Pre-Order

Beautiful Creatures, the cinematic adaptation of the young adult book by authors Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia, is headed to Blu-ray, DVD and digital download on May 21 from Warner Home Video.
Warner released Beautiful Creatures with high hopes considering the book series' large contingent of fans and a robust cast including Alden Ehrenreich, Alice Englert, Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum, Thomas Mann and Emma Thompson, amongst others. Though Beautiful Creatures garnered more critical acclaim than any of the Twilight films, it sputtered at the box office with only $19.1 million domestically and $52.9 million worldwide in ticket sales, virtually squashing any hopes of the next book being adapted for the big screen.
Beautiful Creatures comes to Blu-ray as a combo pack with DVD and UltraViolet. It will be presented in 1080p video and 5.1 DTS-hd Master Audio with the following bonus features, all of which are exclusive to Blu-ray except for the last two. »

'Die Hard' Pulls Off Photo-Finish Victory At Box Office
19 February 2013 6:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
It was a surprisingly good weekend to be Bruce Willis. The fifth film in the "Die Hard" series, despite atrocious reviews and a TomatoMeter reading of 16 percent, won the holiday box office by a nose with $29.3 million, over the returning champions of Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy in "Identity Thief," which took in $27.8 million.
Two other debuts performed moderately well. The latest Nicholas Sparks adaptation, "Safe Haven," and the animated family film "Escape from Planet Earth" came in third and fourth place, respectively. The romance starring Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough grabbed $25 million, with "Escape" taking in $21 million.
The biggest disappointment of the weekend goes to the Ya newbie, "Beautiful Creatures." The adaptation only managed to scrounge up $8.9 million. The take will likely put any plans to continue adapting the book series by authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl on hold.

"Die Hard" Won't Die! Fifth Installment Debuts on Top!
18 February 2013 6:18 AM, PST | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
"A Good Day to Die Hard" cemented the fact that people love this franchise. Even if the fifth installment is the weakest of the bunch, the film opened strong with a $25 million debut from Friday to Sunday, and $33.2 million if you factor in its Valentine's Day opening Thursday. Bruce Willis returns as John McClane, only this time, he's yipee kay yaying all the way to Russia.
Previous weekend's box-office champ, "Identity Thief" starring Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman fell to No. 2 with $23.4 million for a box-office total of $70.7 million since it opened.
At No. 3 was the melodramatic "Safe Haven" starring Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel. The Nicholas Sparks adaptation sold $21.4 million worth of box-office tickets and $30.4 since Valentine's Day.
"Escape from Planet Earth," the Weinstein Co. animated tale, debuted at No. 4 with $16.1 million. The alien adventure featured voice work from Brendan Fraser, Jessica Alba, Sarah Jessica Parker and Rob Corddry. »

Beautiful Creatures review
17 February 2013 10:53 PM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Review Mark Harrison Feb 18, 2013
Poor box office may prevent Beautiful Creatures from inheriting Twilight's crown. It deserves a stab at it, though.
It would be unfair to dismiss Beautiful Creatures out of hand, just because it's been released at a time when the dust has barely settled around the Twilight saga. Based on a (nother) series of supernatural romance novels targeted at young adults, it might appear as yet another attempt to clone the massively successful franchise, which ended last year with Breaking Dawn Part 2.
Look at the production output of Summit Entertainment, the house that Twilight built. They've recently distributed Warm Bodies, as a more snarky take on the sub-genre, and they have The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones coming up in the summer. It's all uncomfortably reminiscent of the scramble that followed The Lord Of The Rings, which gave us fantasy franchise non-starters like Eragon and The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising. »
