BEASTLY




I will try to write a review, kindly note that 'trying' is different from 'actually' writing one. Trying is more forgivable,like, if I have one too many fragments or I violate an SVA rule or two, its quite forgivable.

Not to stress the obvious but as you can see from the JPEG image above courtesy of Google, I will try to write a review on the film Beastly.

This is a modern adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, starring Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens and (oh yeah)Mary Kate Olsen as the witch and directed by Daniel Barnz.

It bothers me at first that Rotten Tomatoes only gave this flick a three. Personally, I think its a four or five.Being that the first half made me almost wish I did not watch this movie at all. What with the crappy dialogues and plain sequence, there was a moment or when my finger is just itching to click the stop button.

But then, on that scene where they were reading a poem entittled 'Have a Coke with Me' by Frank 'O hara. I honestly think the movie redeemed itself a bit. Okay fine,so I’m the chick who digs poetry and I may be a little partial but its kinda sweet. I also like the part where they went to the zoo and watched that elephant movie.Almost dramatic but the musical direction sucks.The ending was pretty alright too and the final confession scene, the dialogues have improved immensely.


So you see its not so rotten after all.Had they chosen somebody else who has better acting skills than Ms. Olsen,I might even give them a six.
