Watched Beautiful Creatures (2013)with my wife last night and was thoroughly entertained by a marvelous piece of film making that included a blend of young and not so young very fine Actors,sure I don't see this film picking up any "Oscars" however as someone who had not heard of the books and stumbled on the Movie almost by accident we enjoyed this film a great deal,it is always a pleasure to hear that wonderful voice of Jeremy Irons and watch the quirky Emma Thompson, we were also impressed with the younger set IE;Alden Ehrenreich who played a good solid role as our romantic male lead furthermore was also impressed by Alice Englert as our female lead I had not knowingly seen her perform before and was interested to find that she is the daughter of Jane Campion the very fine New Zealand Director sign of good genetics I think.Back to the Film,the basic story was good,the new girl(Alice Englert) at school keeps her distance because of a secret and our Male lead (Alden Ehrenreich)is the romantic forbidden fruit for her, throw in some Magic,a couple of odd rellies and a great interior design job on the "Old Family Mansion" coupled with a great soundtrack by "Thenewno2" and you have a nice entertaining movie with no Bad Language or naked sex scenes and an ending which was OK but might also give you a question.I am surprised a the current IMDb Rating of 6 I believe this was closer to a seven for me and does not deserved to be compared to the Twilight series,in my opinion "Beautiful Creatures" was a better film to watch than some of Twilight films...
