Blu-ray Review: Strong Ensemble Propels Surprisingly Entertaining ‘Beautiful Creatures’

24 May 2013 12:42 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – It may not be a beautiful film but the latest attempt at cashing in on the “Twilight” craze, Richard Lagravenese’s “Beautiful Creatures,” recently released on Blu-ray and DVD, is surprisingly good-looking. The young leads show a lot more life than typical Ya fare, the supporting cast is truly stellar, and the script from the author of “The Fisher King” and this weekend’s “Behind the Candleabra” has some interesting ideas about religion, fate, and maturity. It’s too long by some stretch and too many of the same ideas are hit repeatedly but when the supporting cast, including three Oscar winners, is allowed to do what they do best, it’s damn pretty to watch.

Rating: 3.5/5.0

I’ll have to admit to a bit of dread when approaching “Beautiful Creatures.” I hated most of “The Twilight Saga” and the films that it spawned have been arguably even worse than their ancestor. »

Beautiful Creatures - Blu-ray Review

23 May 2013 8:40 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

While it has a lot of humor and a little charm, Beautiful Creatures suffers from a rushed story, poor editing, and poor use of such a great ensemble cast. The film has a lot to like in it, but those elements never come together to capture the magic of its story and setting. Based on the popular novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl (which I will admit I have not read), the film was written for screen and directed by Richard Lagravenese (P.S. I Love You), and features a stellar cast including Alden Ehrenreich, Alice Englert, Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum, Thomas Mann, Emma Thompson, Margo Martindale, Eileen Atkins, Zoey Deutch, Tiffany Boone, Rachel Brosnahan, Kyle »

'Twilight' dominates Teen Choice Awards nominations

23 May 2013 6:52 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

The sun has set (or risen?) on Summit Entertainment’s venerable vampire series — but even though it, like Robsten, is officially kaput, Twilight still holds a hypnotic power over people of a certain age. (That age is “young.”)

The last installment of the blood-sucking saga dominates the “first wave” of nominees at this year’s Teen Choice Awards, which single out the movies, TV series, music, fashion, comedians, athletes, and performers that resonate most with today’s 13- through 19-year-olds. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 snagged seven nods, nine if you include star Taylor Lautner’s individual nominations for »

New on DVD: Soderbergh's Supposed Stateside Showbiz Swan Song 'Side Effects,' More

22 May 2013 5:26 PM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »

Side Effects Is there a doctor in the house? Why yes, and he's played by Jude Law--a headshrinker who prescribes a dubious anti-depressant to his female patient (Rooney Mara) after she runs her car into a wall. Someone ends up dead and the Hitchcockian plot thickens...is there some sort of conspiracy going on? Whodunnit? This was to be Steven Soderbergh's swan song to the movie biz (we'll see)--if that ends up the case, it's a pretty solid way to go out. Extras: Featurettes on the behind-the-scenes and the fictional medications (DVD/Bd). Beautiful Creatures You say you like your supernatural creatures to have a swampy, Southern-fried touch? Look no further than this teen fantasy-romance based on the novel series involving a high school junior (Alden Ehrenreich) smitten...

Francis Ford Coppola Returns to Italian-American Family Dramas With New Film

22 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Hey, it certainly sounds better than Twixt. THR reports that Francis Ford Coppola is readying a new feature that should appeal to more of his traditional fanbase. The film is currently untitled, but the outlet reports that it “will chronicle an Italian-American family and span from the 1930s to the 1960s.” The project is also described as “a coming-of-age story that focuses on a boy and girl in their late teens.” While details are obviously slim as of now, The Wrap’s Jeff Snider also tweeted today that “Dance will be a key element in the new Francis Ford Coppola movie. That’s all, folks.” So that’s…something. Oh, is this going to be a new Dirty Dancing? Is that it? Coppola is currently writing the screenplay himself, and while the project has no firm studio commitments (despite having offices on the Paramount lot), a pair of casting directors have already been brought on (Courtney Bright and »

New on DVD/Blu-ray: Beautiful Creatures (2013)

21 May 2013 8:56 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

Oh ah daclare, them’s thick Southern accents ya’ll got there! Of course, once you past the accents, “Beautiful Creatures” is a surprisingly good teenage romance/supernatural drama, and it’s a crying shame it got lost in the shuffle of similarly themed Ya offerings this year. The story of a boy and a girl and witchcraft, the film failed to capture the same teenage fanbase that flocked to similar Ya fares such as “Twilight”, “Harry Potter”, and “The Hunger Games”. For those who missed it earlier this year (and considering the film’s dismal domestic box office, that would be an awful lot of you), here’s your second chance because the film is now available on Blu-ray Combo pack, DVD and Digital Download. Told from the point of view of charming and rebellious Ethan Wate (Alden Ehrenreich), “Beautiful Creatures” takes place in a dinky Southern town where »

Beautiful Creatures (Blu-ray/DVD + UltraViolet Digital Copy Combo Pack)

21 May 2013 2:53 PM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

Blu-ray Review

Beautiful Creatures

Directed by: Richard Lagravanese

Cast: Alden Ehrenreich, Alice Englert, Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum

Running Time: 2 hrs 4 mins

Rating: PG-13

Due Out: May 21, 2013

“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.

Read Nick’s interview with Actors Alden Ehrenreich and Alice Englert

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

21 May 2013 3:05 AM, PDT | 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. »

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.

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

19 March 2013 9:08 PM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

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. »
