frankenstein

Each season the Amarillo Public Library features an author and a book or books by said author, for their Amarillo Reads Program.  This winter they will be focusing on Mary Shelley and starting with the book Frankenstein.

The likes of Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolf Man have no business aping the Marvel “shared universe” structure in the first place. They're monsters! Let them monster! Any of our well-intentioned blogging-into-the-wind was too little, too late because the head of Universal has pretty much come and out said that they're taking the horror out of their horror icons.

Ah, a week at the box office where the new release flies completely under the radar and everything else feels like it's just hanging out because there's nothing else to push it off the charts. Welcome to January. Welcome to the home of movies like 'I Frankenstein,' which was dead on arrival this weekend and will vanish into dollar theaters within the next week or so.

New this weekend: the latest update of a classic horror tale, and a critics' darling and multiple Golden Globe-winning drama expands to theaters across the country.

The first 'I, Frankenstein' trailer, featuring Aaron Eckhart as a sexed-up version of the classic monster, has hit the web, now months after the first footage debuted at Comic-Con 2013.
