All week

“I, Frankenstein” (Point, Eastgate, Star Cinema) — Didn’t realize Frankenstein had such a firm grasp of grammar. Also didn’t realize that he was so hunky, at least in the persona of demonslayer Aaron Eckhart, who probably doesn’t throw a little girl in the lake in this one.

“Gimme Shelter” (Point) — My full review is here. Vanessa Hudgens delivers a surprisingly gritty turn as a pregnant homeless teen, but the movie around here is a stiff and preachy drama aimed at the pro-life crowd.
