It’s a tale as old as time, one that continues to be told. While we wait for the live action version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast featuring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens, there is yet another take with Christophe Gans La belle et la bête. Finally hitting the US courtesy of Shout! Factory, the French version of this classic is at times satisfying, and occasionally a beautiful telling - even if the overuse of CG is a little tedious. The 2014 feature also happens to have an impressive cast with Vincent Cassel as the titular monster, and the lovely Léa Seydoux offering up the beauty. While the PG-13 allows for a slighly darker version - with a little more death - it is still a suitably family friendly recreation.
"If you are already a fan of this franchise, this is a very good option this weekend at the cinema. It's well made, the actors are great and the story/world setting is very interesting." - Bryan (Resident Entertainment)
Ashley Madison-Sex Lies and Scandal Review: The documentary refuses to take a stand on whether or not it wants us to feel bad for cheaters, infuriating viewers with its wishy washy attitude.
Monster Review: While this film delivers elements of horror and thriller, they're only sporadically effective, leaving the overall experience falling short of expectations.
