So the Critics Choice nominations just came out today, and once again ATSV got more nominations than expected. Also like last time, it got 3 nominations, including Animated Feature. However, unlike last time, It's only competing with The Boy & The Heron in 1 category. I'm more at ease for this one than I am for the Golden Globes, because at least I can tell that it has a bigger chance at winning in this than the Golden Globes. Thanks For Reading.
So I was completely off-track with The Bride . Did not expect the film to crash and burn as hard as it did with both critics AND the box-office. After getting murdered, a woman by the name of Ida is brought back to life with the intention of being a companion to the oh-so iconic Frankenstein. And together they wreck havoc. Like Wuthering Heights , the movie wasn't terrible but it had a lot of problems. The biggest issue with this film is that it tries way too hard to be edgy and it just doesn't work. It wanted to be this hardcore feminist take on Frankenstein , but it just felt convoluted and slightly underwritten. It had this plotline involving Ida causing some revolution for women and did pretty much nothing with it until the last minute. It was kind of a let down. The best thing about the movie however was the performances and chemistry between Buckley and Christian Bale. I thought they were strangely endearing, and this might be a better love story than Wuthering Heights (...
