Well okay, they were fairly significant.
Yeah, but life gets in the way of cool movies and performances and shit.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I agree. Miller's Frankenstein benefited from seeming more of a callow youth, caught up in his panic about what he'd done, while Cumberbatch's Creature had an air of sorrow and guilt surrounding the actions born of rage and pain.
Those are pretty much my feelings about it, too. With an extra helping of Cumberbatch as Frankenstein felt too much like a Sherlock AU.
ION, a friend is taking me to the sneak preview of Vampire Academy. The book was meh-to-okay cracky YA, and I haven't seen any advance press for the movie that indicates it has risen above the source. Eh, whatever, free trashy vampire movie.

Vampire Academy was better than I expected, thanks to the screenplay being written by the guy who wrote Heathers. The dialog was much snappier than in the book, and much more self-aware/meta about the teen movieness of it all.

That actually looks like a lot of fun. We are, however, going to see the Lego movie tonight. We don't have any kids we can borrow as beards, but whatever. It looks hilarious.

I am trying to get Beau to see the movie with me. It looks like loads of fun and we need that right about now.
