Arthur And The Invisibles (2006) Capsule Fim Review/ Beautiful Creatures (2013) Capsule Film Review

Arthur And The Invisibles(Rated PG For Fantasy Action And Brief Suggestive Material. 1hr 34min/94min.) Arthur and the Invisibles is a movie with a lot of ambition, but doesn't carry it out. Arthur(Freddie Highmore) is a kid living with his grandmother(Mia Farrow) while his parents are on vacation. Arthur then meets an Indian tribe that shrinks him down to the size of a Minymoy, a creature that lives in the grass. I congratulate the story and performances of Highmore and Farrow and the various voice acting, but the story gets a little to complicated for a children's movie and the animation is a bit lackluster and at times, looks unfinished. I just overall, didn't care for this one.2 Stars(Out Of 4)

Beautiful Creatures(Rated PG-13 For Violence, Scary Images And Some Sexual Material. 2hrs 4min/124min.) Beautiful Creatures follows the character of Lena Dunchannes as she moves into a new town. Lena is quickly chastised for being a member of the Caster family, which is a family compromised of witches. The only non-Caster that interacts with her is a man named Ethan. I was expecting to Hate this film, but something prevented me from doing that. The film is, unlike Twilight, Interesting. It has a really good story, strong performances and great special effects. It does run a half-hour too long though. The film is actually good. I wish we could get a sequel to this but it didn't do to well in theaters. It truly is a shame. 3 Stars(Out Of 4)
