BeautifulCreatures finally makes it’s way to DVD, and of course I have to pick it up. Am I a glutton for punishment? Not entirely. While I may have kinda ripped on the movie in my review, I did kinda like it. At the heart of the movie , is the story that I loved by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. But while the opening pretty much hit every button, it quickly goes downhill from there.

The just of the story remains true for both, Ethan Wate longs to escape his small Southern town of Gatlin. Mysterious new girl Lena arrives and the two are drawn together by turbulent elements, as they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town. But so much of their story is glossed over, that it leaves behind a unsatisfying one that feels a bit flat.

They only touch on the abuse Lena receives at the hands of her classmates for being Macon Ravenwood’s niece. Not to mention Ethan’s total abandonment by his basketball team. Both factors that helped reinforce their bond. Instead it plays out as a couple of random acts of meaness by the school’s queen bee and her lackey. Sure Lena is almost suspended from school after the shattering of a window, but really the girls are easy enough to ignore. They aren’t the same girls who form the Guardian Angels, or the ones who orchestrate a Carrie-esque soap dousing that ruins Lena’s first dance.

And those aren’t the only parts changed. Certain elements are altogether missing from the movie: the shadowing song, Lena’s family powers, Ethan’s mom, Marian. I could go on and on, but there’s really no point in it. Although some changes, like the color of Savannah Snow’s hair, didn’t impact the story, one most glaring spot involved the Curse. The curse was front and center, in both, but the movie omitted what would happen if Lena chose light or dark, as if being dark was the worse thing possible.

So what if Lena turns dark and all the casters after her are dark? Macon is dark, proving that you didn’t have to be a homicidal maniac if you were dark. You could chose to be good. And what about Aunt Del and Gramma? As women in the family they should be dark, and they seemed fairly normal. Oh right, that was a fact that wasn’t mentioned, they’re actually light, many family members are. But I’m getting ahead of myself. In the books Lena’s choice killed the entire other side of the family. Huh. That would make one think twice about choosing, and open up a whole other can of worms for the next movie.

It was the lack of foresight that had Macon sacrificing himself and Amma as the librarian, and Sarafine amounting to being barely a blip on the threat meter. Where were her fires, her knife. She comes off as whiny and childish, and that’s unfortunate. Beautiful Creatures had great potential, and a phenomenal cast, but not even they can save this sinking ship.

If you haven’t read the books, you’ll enjoy the movie. The actors did what they could with the script, and the special effects are really well done. See the movie long before you read the book, and you’ll have a more enjoyable experience. Beautiful Creatures came to DVD  May 21, 2013.

Teen Wolf ended it’s first season with a punch, delivering plenty of action, and season two ramps up the action with even more with a blatant helping of suspenseful drama. This is definitely geared towards the Twilight crowd, with all the young hard bodies running around shirtless, but it’s smart enough to hook horror lovers too.

Scott McCall (Tyler Posey), an ordinary teenager with a wild secret, continues to find himself caught in a supernatural war between hunters and werewolves, while trying to protect those he loves from himself and each other. Throw in a dash of forbidden love, and you start to see some similarities to many of the other shows on TV right now in this genre. But creator Jeff Davis and the savvy cast and production team have worked hard to make sure that Teen Wolf isn’t just dripping with teenage angst.

It’s not just fluff. Last season there was a lot of woe is me, I’m a werewolf, but it’s awesome. That attitude is thrust to the side with the danger level being propelled skyward with increasing levels of horror. There are threats from the hunters, Scott establishes a shaky truce with the wolf-hating father of his girlfriend Allison (Crystal Reed), and Allison’s grandfather who has a bone to pick over the death of his daughter, and that’s just the human side. There’s also something going bump in the woods killing, and there are the horrors of just being a werewolf.

The cast has grown up a lot since last year, especially Posey, and I mean that in the best way possible. He’s grown into a quiet confidence that pulls you in. It’s easy to brush Teen Wolf off as an hour of blood, sex, and suspense with a homoerotic subtext. But instead it’s a high-octane show that's well structured, thoughtfully acted, and inventive.

The DVDs are pretty flawless, they’ve transferred well, but let’s face it, they’re not blu-ray. The special effects still look pretty good though.

The Extras include some pretty standard fare: Teen Wolf Season 2 at Paleyfest, a meet the new pack featurette, alternate, deleted and extended scenes, alternate stiles takes, CGI reel, Fight Choreography, shirtless montage, gage reel and commentary featuring Jeff Davis and Christian Taylor.

I’m never one that really enjoys the commentary, it does give some great little behind the scenes gems, but if you’re a die hard for the series though, you may want to check them out.

The blooper reel, is kinda standard. Nothing outlandish here, especially not for this series, but there are certainly some blunders that garner more than a snicker.

The shirtless montage is a bit over the top and funny. It’s almost enough to make a red dot appear over your house too.

The Paleyfest footage is some great stuff for those who missed it. The cast interaction is fantastic, and these plenty of Easter Eggs from the creative team.

Back before Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter was released there was buzz that Seth Grahame Smith's other literary mash-up would be produced. Star names were thrown about, but nothing came of that, until now.

Just like its main antagonists, “Pride Prejudice and Zombies” is a film that refuses to die, and looks like it may have risen again from the dead. Variety is reporting that not only is there a director (Burr Steers), but that Lily Collins is in negotiations to star. Natalie Portman was attached to the film previously, but will now serve as a producer.

The book follows the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England who are faced with a new challenge — an army of undead zombies. Collins would play the Elizabeth Bennet character.

Darko Entertainment and Panorama Media are producing with Panorama funding.
