The Bride! review
Like they say, behind every good Frankenstein’s monster is a great Frankenstein’s monster’s girlfriend??? If you’re scratching the bolts that are on both sides of your neck in confusion, fear not. Perhaps this week’s movie “The Bride” exclamation point will educate you and raise awareness as to what’s going on. This movie could, quite possibly, save lives! One of the lifesavers is Christian Bale, playing Frankenstein’s monster and the other is Jessie Buckley as The Bride exclamation point. They join forces as a sort of grotesque Bonnie and Clyde or Mickey and Mallory from “Natural Born Killers” in director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “reimagining” of Mary Shelley’s classic story. Is it worth watching at the theater to find out what happens? Check out this episode of Movies Merica to find out! “The Bride!” also stars Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, Penelope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, John Magaro, Matthew Maher, Julianne Hough, Jeannie Berlin and Zlatko Buric.
Frankenstein review
Director Guillermo Del Toro is a master at bringing gothic horror to the big screen in glorious fashion, which he does for this episode’s movie “Frankenstein”, but only in a small number of theaters. Most people will have to see this on the small screen because Del Toro decided to make his long-awaited “Frankenstein” movie for Netflix, the king of small screen. Nevertheless, it’s fantastic to see a classic movie monster on the screen, with an excellent cast no less. Oscar Isaac plays Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Mia Goth is Elizabeth, Christoph Waltz as Harlander and Charles Dance as Leopold Frankenstein. This version of the classic tale introduces us to Victor Frankenstein as a young boy to begin to explain his mad ambitions, then onto his creation of The Creature and then the aftermath. We even get to see The Creature’s story from his perspective. Does this all add up to an entertaining movie? Check out this episode to find out! “Frankenstein” also stars Felix Kammerer, David Bradley, Lars Mikkelsen, Christian Convery, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Kyle Gatehouse, Lauren Collins, Sofia Galasso, Ralph Ineson and Burn Gorman.
