There was a book called "Beastly" that was published a few years ago, and it's being turned into a film. My only gripe is that the people making this film decided to cast Vanessa Anne Hudgens as the main female because they want people to see the film. She totally doesn't fit the character at all. I still would've gone with that girl from "The Secret Life of the American Teenager".

Anyway, I'm glad that some stereotypes are being done away with, mainly that Mary Kate Olsen plays Kendra, who is now a beautiful blonde goth girl instead of an overweight goth girl. (I am so tired of that cliche...I have weight problems, but really, it's been used too much.)

And as for 'Adrian' (As the male lead calls himself after turning into a monster), I was hoping to see something more like the author was thinking of. And she was thinking of Cocteau's lion-looking Beast from the '40s film. Instead, he looks like Deucalion from Dean Koontz's "Frankenstein". So does that mean the scene where he accidentally mauls that girl at the Halloween dance is cut out? DAMMIT!!!!

Of course, that doesn't mean I won't attempt 'Adrian' one day...

So yeah, I have to work on Durza again (As he's my backup if Murtagh isn't finished...) but I'm not sure what other SFX makeup jobs I'll try...
