Watch 1st trailer for new supernatural teen film adaptation: ‘Beautiful Creatures’

Bethany Smith | September 20, 2012 | 0 Comments

If you thought Supernatural teen adventure books-to-film were ending with Harry Potter and Twilight, you thought wrong. There’s a whole slue of adaptations in the works and the next one focuses on a magical girl and an ordinary boy. “Beautiful Creatures” is due out February 13, 2013 and tells the story of ordinary local boy Ethan (Alder Ehrenreich) and new-to-town Lena (Alice Englert). Lena possesses a powerful magic that will either turn her light or dark.

The story is based on the five-novel series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. Though not much is known about its two starring teens, the adult cast makes us pretty optimistic for this film’s potential. Viola Davis (The Help), Jeremy Irons (Eragon), Emma Thompson (Harry Potter) and Emmy Rossum (Phantom of the Opera) also star.

Check out the trailer for “Beautiful Creatures” below:

Kansas celebrates Father’s Day with Father John Misty

“Happy Father’s Day, bastards.” That’s how Joshua Tillman opened his set at the Granada Sunday evening. Rather than offending the eager audience that chose to spend Father’s Day at a concert, Tillman was greeted by cheers. Lawrence had chosen to celebrate the holiday with a special Father — Father John Misty.

‘Man of Steel’ explores the essence of destiny in Superman’s thrilling theatrical return

‘Man of Steel’ explores the essence of destiny in Superman’s thrilling theatrical return

Superman is one of the most iconic characters in pop culture. Even people who haven’t picked up a comic or seen one of the many films or tv show iterations have heard the name and know the gist of Superman. So director Zack Snyder and writer David S. Goyer’s big challenge with “Man of Steel” was how to present this character in a new way that we haven’t seen before — a way that stays true to what Superman is, but also doesn’t dull or ham it up. Interestingly, in the quest for a new Superman story, Snyder returns to the origin story and amazingly, he succeeds in making a mostly fresh and compelling tale in “Man of Steel.”

Cheap laughs plague the apocalypse in ‘This Is The End’

Cheap laughs plague the apocalypse in ‘This Is The End’

In a year of big blockbuster action movies and gut wrenching dramas, the comedy world hasn’t even been a contender in the fight for blockbuster dollar signs. Cue Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Their latest installment, “This Is The End,” literally puts Rogen and all of his real-life friends into the movie. A big part of the film’s allure is that every character in the movie is literally playing his or herself, but in a story that is as fiction as fiction can get.
