Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Kenneth Branagh’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is… kind of amazing? We’re not exactly shocked that culture has spent the past 30 years ignoring this movie, but we’re certainly disappointed. This loud, melodramatic adaptation of the monster story is not only the most faithful in terms of plot, but also in terms of tone. As a result, we’re big fans! Just don’t ask us what was going on with those eels in the leathery sac. Other topics include the prevalence of canine cruelty in our movies this year, Freudian adult film genres, and yet another haunting supernatural event live on the air.
