Beautiful Creatures

if Ems Thompson and Ironsy were banking on getting their mitts into the next Twishite-like franchise then they were very much mistaken here. This is a league below even Cath Hardwick's movie and this surely ends the movie franchise firmly in Part 1.

Whilst it was fun to watch Emma Thompson doing something very different (and doing it with aplomb), and its nice to see a bit of rural America, the story and the cast were way dumber than any cruel hick stereotype. The black girl rolling her eyes in the classroom scene doing her 'Mama says...' scene was a cringeworthy parody of the similar scene in Sandler's The Waterboy - only it wasn't meant to be! And the guy who plays the b/f appears to have taken acting classes from Jean Claude Van Damme. OMFG.



Two thing I liked =
1. Two decent CGI scenes
2. seeing a school that's bereft of computers and mobile phones. I'm not sure if this was set before the 90s or if rural America is still that rural, but its lovely to see a school look like a school and not a cybercafé. Shame the cast playing the students looked nearly 30.

Considering the cinema has interception(inception) on the tiles at one point it was definitely set recent

That's interesting. If there are USA areas still really like this (such as is, all of New Zealand) then it adds them to my 'to visit' excursion list.
