Beautiful Disaster (2023)
If you've not read the book - DON'T do it now
I watched this movie and found it - for a romcom- quite nice. It is funny, its kinda sexy and I was surprised that Abby was fun and relatable. The plot progressed well and i loved both main characters.
Then I read the book. WOW was it bad. There was so much problematic stuff going on with Travis as a character and Abby was such a typical "i'm not like other girls" not to mention the s*** shaming that happened in the books.
I'm so happy with what the writers did with the material and how they brought the story to 2023. Also they left out a bunch of side characters and really put emphasis on the story ALSO leaving out a third of the "on-off" toxic relationship stuff. One of the best book - to - movie - adaptions I've seen.
I would watch the movie again, but the book needs to be incinerated.
Wednesday (2022)
Wednesday will be ICONIC
I love all things dark. I like horror, Addams Family, Tim Burton movies. Naturally i couldn't wait for this series to come out and i almost wept with joy because it was so good. It was enticing, exciting, hilarious and so well done. The music was great, camera work, outfits. Tim Burton manages to bring his dark vision to life once again. All of this cast was amazing. They managed to give Wednesday and her Family a new spin, without loosing the kooky, spookiness of them. I couldn't tell the end of this murder mystery, until the very end. Escapism at it's best. I will forever rewatch. I truly hope Netflix renews the series for a second season.
