Love Is Never Ugly, Not Beastly Either.

found via movieset
I found my self currently addicted to two things after watching Beastly—the theme song Broken Arrow sang by Pixie Lott and the handsome actor, Alex Pettyfer. It is official, Beastly is making its entrance into the list of my favorite romance movies. Regardless its flaws and its lack of every other thing, I would watch Beastly for five times in the future if I could. End of story, Mr. Pettyfer is the most handsome beast ever to walk on the surface of this Earth. No, I do not want to include any of those beast idols in this list.

It was rather pathetic that I went to watch a romance movie all by my self. I quietly walked into the cinema, following a couple who walked in front of me. Like serious, it was horribly awkward and pathetic in the same time. But hey, at least I am not the only one who went to watch a romantic movie by my self. Hello, there is nothing wrong with going to watch romantic movies by one self. It is actually rather relaxing, because you could watch the movie well without getting into some conversation with the one next to you. Ah, I like this experience and I want to continue this bad habit.

Beastly—the movie is generally cheesy and cliche, yes. It is basically a romantic movie about the modern Beauty and The Beast. One could actually expect how the end will be right from the beginning but it is not really a bad movie to watch. I mean, I enjoyed the chemistry between Pettyfer and his on-screen romance, Vanessa Hudgens—regardless that watching Hudges felt like I am watching some Disney's movies. But, she acted in Beastly quite wonderfully, though she is no where near the Lindy portrayed in the book. But honestly, Pettyfer does not portray the real beast as in the book too. But hey, you do not hear me complaining about it.

Personally, I like the flow of the movie. It is rather quick and simple. This is not the best romance movie you could watch but it is still something that entertains you, if you a hardcore fan of romantic movies like I am. There are scenes that manage to make me want to cry—although I do not favor the idea of crying all by my self alone in the cinema—and yes, it hurts too when I saw Pettyfer dealing with the pain he has to bare after becoming a beast. Although, he does not look that ugly as a beast in this movie.

The ending however, it is like a 360 degrees transformation from the real ending from the book but when you are watching a Hollywood movie based on a book, you should expect that it will not be the same as how the book ends. I have learn my lesson. Disappointed, I have to admit that yes, I am quite disappointed with how the movie ends. I will basically love it better if it could end similarly to the book. It lack the dramatic effects once it reaches in conclusion. Yes, it still brings in the same conclusion to the book but I want the dramatic flow of it. I will not say any more about the ending because obviously I do not want to spoil it for anyone who has not yet watch. Go and buy your own ticket and watch the ending by your self.

I could actually list down a lot of my favorite scenes but the ultimate favorite scene of mine would be the scene where Hunter (portrayed by Pettyfer, the transformed Kyle—which in the book he changed his name from Kyle to Andrian but it became Hunter in the movie for an unknown reason) looked at at Lindy (portrayed by Hudges) from outside the train she was on, when he saw her started to read his letters and suddenly wished that she never read it in the first place. I did not know why I like that scene so much, but I guess I like that Kyle/Hunter was afraid that once Lindy knew his true feelings towards her, she might not love him back—obviously because he thought he was too beastly for Lindy. Hey come on, if a beast actually has the same personalities as Kyle/Hunter, I would love to spend the rest of my life with him too.

It is hard not to like the character portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris because I love his cynical jokes throughout the movie. A blind man who goes to regular school and has a sense of sarcasm in most of his words, I like that. I quite admire the appearance of Mary-Kate Olsen as Kendra, the witch. I freaking love her sense of style, especially the shoes she wore. I mean, I want to steal all those funky outfits and shoes she wore, like seriously. She should have more appearances so that I could continuously admire her sense of style.

Guess that I am going to watch this movie for the second time probably some time next week—because my younger sister is currently begging me to bring her to watch it. I don't mind the second time though because I still love this movie. I am considering the idea of buying the DVD once it releases to add into my small collection of DVD of my favorite movies. I could give any reasons to continue to watch Pettyfer topless throughout the movie over and over again. Ah, my pervert side is coming out again.
