Where Can I Buy Psyllium Husk
Fair Hollywood just a week ago we prescribed the modern version of the classic "Beauty and the Beast become youth film (aka Beastly) and now it's the turn of the famous Red Riding Hood fairy tale transformed into a tape full of romance and thriller directed at teenagers. From the hand of Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen , Twilight ), Red Riding Hood runs a territory known as the audience and it is impossible not to compare with previous work from the director: the first part of the famed saga Twilight vampire . Both films are very similar not only in style but also in portraying a love triangle and trying at all costs to build a new franchise to compete against Bella, Edward and company, but this time from the hand of a larger study such as Warner Brothers.
In Red Riding Hood , Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) lives with her family in a small medieval community in the middle of the forest. Suddenly, the tranquility of the town is disturbed when Valerie's sister dies after being attacked by a mysterious wolf which has spent years terrorizing the village at that full moon. This is when the people used the father Solomon (Gary Oldman) to help them find the beast and be done with it once and for all. The search aims to Valerie soon as the prime suspect, after she manages to talk to the child and the tell-tale witnesses. From that moment, the film becomes a whodunit but with very few surprises and twists.
In a matter of history, the film adds nothing new. Moreover, makes Twilight look like a literary gem at his side. Starting from the pseudo love triangle that raises the film ends not only offer curdling and to which we must add the gray that are both leading men, who basically let him film the whole package of Amanda Seyfried. Not if there was a lack of experience, poor script, poor direction or all of the above, but the three young leads, Seyfried achieved a job only a little more convincing.
Outside of that, the movie maintains a brisk pace especially towards the end and obviously leaves the possibility of a future franchise, although I personally see it as somewhat dubious. I do not think Red Riding Hood will have the same scope as Twilight and at least in the United States do not see it raising more than $ 100 million. We will have to see what the behavior of the tape at the international level, where I see him further and then later talk about a sequel or not. In short, is a ribbon to hang out with a trite story with a cast soulless who redeems a bit thanks to the charisma of its star.
