OFF WEEK - I, Frankenstein

I've had to concede to myself that there will be weeks in which I won't have time to update this blog. It's not necessarily because I won't have time to write a review; it's more based on the time, or lack there of, that I have to watch a movie.  I could write and have written in some instances about movies I like but haven't seen recently.  However, when I do that, I tend to not be nearly as motivated in my writing, and the blog suffers.  

In place of writing a crappy review here and there, I've just decided to write a short paragraph for those weeks about a movie that is coming out soon that I'd like to see or a movie I've never seen that I intend to watch as soon as time permits.  Some of these will classics, some will be indies of which you may have never heard, some may will be unreleased titles.  Regardless, it will turn out better than if I just force an entry about something I'm not really motivated to write.


I'm not 100% sure how I feel about the idea of this film. Turning Frankenstein's monster into a superhero of sorts doesn't really jibe with the lore. On the other hand, it could be an interesting twist. While we all know that Frankenstein's monster was one of the first classic horror monsters that had the audience feeling a pretty strong since of sympathy, he was still a monster, and he wasn't a very intelligent one either. This one is really going to have to wait for judgement until I've seen it.
