  Beautiful Creatures - Rachel Weisz, Susan Lynch
Though I found the scenery of Glasgow to be rather mundane compared to Scotland's other "big" city, Edinburgh, "Beautiful Creatures" made me realize that it's unique enough to have a recognizable feel that the film does a good job of capturing.
"Beautiful Creatures" is a dark comedy that follows the misadventures of Petula and Dorothy, two seemingly intelligent young women who still manage to be addicted to their loutish and violent boyfriends.
Considering that "Beautiful Creatures" was written and directed by men, it's hard to tell whether this film is really a proto-feminist statement, or a Russ Meyer style ploy to hang out with cute girls.

 Beautiful Creatures (2001)
Beautiful Creatures is proof positive that the United Kingdom can make a terrible crime movie.
The only sign that Beautiful Creatures will be something other than awful comes in the first three minutes, as a lovey-dovey conversation between a man and a woman turns ugly and violent.
The women in Beautiful Creatures may get away with murder and money, but the unfolding of the scenario is mostly about how many nasty ways the two characters can be put at risk of sexual assault and bodily harm.

 Rough Edge: Beautiful Creatures CD Reviews
I know that "Deuce" is Beautiful Creatures' second release (kinda figured that one out from the title), but I'd never heard the band's debut.
Via the publicity surrounding the band it was obvious that Beautiful Creatures were the swaggering type swirling in hard rock riffs and bluesy rhythms.
Generally I'd have to say that a casual music fan would have to be in the mood for a band like Beautiful Creatures while most fans appreciative of classic hard rock sounds will dig the band at nearly any time.

 Beautiful Creatures
Founded and fronted by LeSte, who led late-'80s rockers Bang Tango, the Creatures mine the ghosts of heavy metal's past to inject a little piss and pizzazz into today's music, and right from the start, and it proved to strike a chord of success.
Their debut release is filled with primal, driving riffs and lyrics that speak for a band whose members have been kicked around the rock block a few times.
Beautiful Creatures' shows are marked by the presence of a large percentage of females at the front of the stage -- girls who most likely aren't participating in mosh pits or buying Slipknot and Limp Bizkit albums.

 KNAC.COM - Headbangers - Beautiful Creatures Live in Worcester, MA
A rejuvenated Beautiful Creatures showed they were the real deal here in a very well-received kick-off to a small, four-date East Coast run.
Instead, as borne out by this show and recent Internet buzz - Beautiful Creatures has gone in another direction, with some new (and younger) blood, a fresh label deal with JVC, and a record that lead singer Joe Leste says is nearly done (awaiting only vocals and final mixing).
The power of the Internet can really be seen when a band in the Beautiful Creatures niche draws the numbers and disparate geographic audience seen last night, with a strong street team and some folks apparently ready to follow the band for the four-gig tour.

Well there is certainly nothing beautiful about this band's history, with this LA based act walking through the toughest streets in town, complete with heartache, broken dreams, and a failed attempt at notoriety and fame.
Founded by ex-Bang Tango singer Joe Leste in 1999, Beautiful Creatures play late 80s/early 90s hard rock, a street grime version complete with modern hooks and a big, mean sound reminiscent with those post-glam acts.

 filmcritic.com Movie Review: Beautiful Creatures
Not to be confused with Beautiful People or Heavenly Creatures, Beautiful Creatures is a British murder-comedy romp in the tradition of Shallow Grave and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.
This time out, its two women (the beautiful Rachel Weisz (The Mummy series) and the less beautiful Susan Lynch) get caught up in a murder when one of their boyfriends gets abusive and takes a lead pipe to the skull at the hands of the other girl.
Soon enough, a ransom plan is hatched (despite the fact that the guy is dead), the cops catch on and demand a cut, the body count starts to rise, and the whole affair proves that these girls make poor criminals indeed.

 Woman's touch fails in 'Beautiful Creatures'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
"Beautiful Creatures" pitches itself somewhere between "Bound" and "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," trying to add a feminist twist to the spate of Britain's bloody gangster thrillers and never quite succeeding.
Just add a dead body that won't go away (this one dumped on an apartment balcony), an uneasy balance between sadistic violence and fl humor, and a plot that cleverly winds its players in tighter and tighter spirals until they all converge in a messy climax.
Less mechanical and contrived than recent examples of the genre, "Beautiful Creatures" tempers the runaway plotting and cutthroat conniving of alpha males with moments of female bonding and giggly girl talk.

 Review: Beautiful Creatures   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
As it is, it's just another tired caper movie/fl comedy that thinks it's a lot more clever than it actually is. The story takes us through a series of uninspired plot twists and turns that transport us to a destination we can see from the beginning.
In the final analysis, Beautiful Creatures is a series of ill-conceived misjudgments.
And Beautiful Creatures is not assembled with enough skill to encourage the suspension of disbelief necessary for viewers to ignore all of the plot holes and other contrivances.

 Beautiful Creatures: self-titled - PopMatters Music Review
It is a record that attempts to merge the aggression, street sass and sound of the incomparable Appetite For Destruction with the modern leanings of the contemporary rock scene.
Rehashing a staple diet of AC/DC and Guns N' Roses, the songs on Beautiful Creatures will be nothing new to any self-respecting rock fan, who will have heard the predictable guitar solos on the likes of "New Orleans" a hundred times before.
The final clue to Beautiful Creatures' clichéd '80s rock roots is their press bio, which makes reference to shots of whiskey (no chaser), and describes the band as ".

Beautiful Creatures bridge the gap between "Modern" and "Classic" Rock with a fresh sound that blends the grit of old Aerosmith, AC/DC and Guns N' Roses with the in-your-face heavy, modern edge of Disturbed and Slipknot.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Beautiful Creatures   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Beautiful Creatures is another one of those British crime films like Shallow Grave or Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels designed to announce the arrival of its creators, but it proves to be derivative without the zest of its predecessors.
Their scheme seems to go OK but for the return of Dorothy's ex-boyfriend (Iain Glen) at an inconvenient time, and a corrupt cop (Alex North) who perceives what's really going on, likes the looks of Petula, and decides he wants a piece of the action.
Directed by Bill Eagles, from a screenplay credited to Simon Donald, Beautiful Creatures is not as clever or funny as it could or should have been, and is yet another one of those movies that forgives criminals as long as they are essentially good people inside.

 Gargoyles
Architecturally speaking, only the creature serving as actual water spout is called a Gargoyle, otherwise is it known as a Grotesque.
Definitely a heathen aspect to this, and one might wonder why we find them on churches and cathedrals throughout the world, like the two creatures below, looking out over the city of Paris from one of the most famous churches in the world, Notre Dame.
Gargoyles have definitely found their way into our mythology, and while some see them as boogeymen to frighten little children, others have embraced them as creatures not that different from ourselves, with good guys and bad guys, heros and villains, but mostly dedicated to existing alongside and even helping humankind.

 Zap2it.com - Movie review - Beautiful Creatures
The latest low-rent rip-off is Beautiful Creatures, a shallow attempt to Pulp Fiction-alize Thelma & Louise.
Their cool isn't classic noir cool; it's stylized contempo cool with a wink-wink attitude that keeps the audience from identifying with them and their plight.
The tone of Beautiful Creatures sets everything off-kilter; the violence is gruesome, yet it's presented as simply part of the film's aesthetic -- a cartoonish, ironic violence.

 SPLICEDwire | "Beautiful Creatures" review (2001)
Such is the set-up for "Beautiful Creatures," an energetic and sometimes clever, dark comedy crime thriller from Scotland that's full of sharp ideas but undermined by blunt-headed characters and logistical loopholes.
It's really a shame this kind of preposterousness torpedoes "Beautiful Creatures" because somewhere inside this sinking vessel is a pretty canny caper that deserves better.
The writer and director clearly know where they want to go, and they've packed well for the trip -- the gritty, underexposed colors gives the movie a distinctive visual signature, the glib dialogue gives the characters appealing dimension.

Phil has opened this beautiful space, and he is genuinely committed to the artists he shows there.
This time the starkly absurd, shockingly beautiful large-scale prints the artist is known for focus on the fantastic goings on at the Bloody Bucket, a Potosi watering hole that existed from 1948 to 1951.
Chantry isn’t an appropriator of visual culture detritus; he’s a tombstone cutter with the sensibility of a poet: his isn’t the self-serving artist’s narcissistic desire to “discover” and “elevate,” rather he etches in stone the ephemeral and, yes, poetic beauty of the unsung, decidedly idiosyncratic, and homegrown.
