Beautiful Creatures

Do you all remember that time when Justin Bieber got pregnant and gave birth to a wonderful bunch of little girls known as the band One Direction?  Well, it seems like the same thing has happened to the Twilight Franchise, because when that series ended it gave birth to a butt load of other supernatural romance stories, and one of its offspring is the “Beautiful Creatures”.  And now, because vampires, witches, and werewolves have been used, the next supernatural love story will have to be between a high schooler and Bigfoot… but Hollywood will never produce that movie because it would look too much like a pedophile stalking a minor.  Now despite the fact that I’m not the movies target demographic (12-yr old girls and boys experiencing infatuation for the first time) I found this movie to be quite enjoyable.  It had a wonderful cast including Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons, who still sounds like he’s been smoking a regular 8-packs a day, and the two newcomers who play the lovebirds being twitter-pated with each other.  To be honest I don’t think that this movie will get a sequel or become the next twilight saga, based on how little I've heard of this book before the movie, but standing on its own it’s a pleasant experience that will play with the hearts of all 12-year old girls around the world.
