I don’t know if you should expect a movie called Blood & Chocolate to be about werewolves, but that’s what it’s about. Also, I don’t know if you should expect a movie so titled to be any good. I didn’t, that’s for sure, but the movie turned out to be –well, not too bad. Somebody on IMDB.com called it “mediocrity at its best”, and it’s something like that.B&C tells the story of Vivian, a cute werewolf that finds herself attracted to a human who is doing research for his new graphic novel (he asks her to please not call them comic books, as if that name was something obscene or something to be ashamed of). So the guy draws comics for a living, and he is in Bucharest getting some info about le loup garou, since werewolves are the main characters in his new book. Predictably, Vivian’s clan doesn’t approve of interspecies relationships, and seeks to put an end to the blossoming romance, a sneaky act that will of course have cataclysmic consequences.
So there you go. You have your basic set of clichés and no known actors in this movie, which also boasts a very low budget and therefore low expectations, but the movie still manages to be sort of entertaining –barely. I thought I was in for a brain-numbing experience, but instead I got some not-too-soporiferous entertainment, so I guess I should count myself lucky. Still, I don’t think I’ll rush to the videostore to buy this film, but it certainly beats lots of more pretentious and way higher budget movies, and that honesty deserves to be recognized.

Curioso cuando menos. La verdad es que no me veo viendo esta película en el futuro cercano. Y ni siquiera concibo en qué escenario has podido verla tú, Fel.
¿Y juega el chocolate un papel prominente durante la historia? Porque vaya título más curioso, jeje.
La alquilé porque la chica de la portada parecía mona y llevaba capucha, lo que siempre es un plus, hahaha.
El único papel que juega el chocolate en la historia es que la mentada rubia trabaja en una pastelería. Y creo que en algún momento su tía o algo así dice algo sobre el chocolate y no sé qué.
Obra maestra, vamos.
Eso de alquilar las pelis por que en la portada sale un rubia guapa es sintomo de que te sobra el dinero, por que solo con leer el titulo te da que pensar.
Hahaha. Leí también de qué iba en la parte de detrás :)
Jejeje. Seguro que sí, Fel.
De todos modos, ya podía tener una sinopsis escrita por Shakespeare, que el hecho de que la alquilaras apunta a lo que dice Nash. ;P
Hmmm... ¿Lo niego todo?
