So long as there are people, there will be love stories -- I hope they all feel as lush and lively as this one.
I am not ashamed to admit that I will be the first in line for Twilight part three.
If only director Chris Weitz had managed to tease out the real drama -- Bella's fear of aging -- instead of a tired one.
A landmark cinematic event in 280 words, or one for every $500,000 of weekend box office.
It has an amazing kind of emotional integrity and intensity.
Weitz's pacing is so limp you're going to need the electricity generated by a live audience to keep from yelling, 'Hurry it up!'
Entertaining for what it is and the alpha male werewolves end up being a lot more fun than the brooding, moody vampires.
The brooding and sulking is so palpable in 'New Moon,' the latest film in the Twilight series, that you could probably cut it with a knife. If the filmmakers thought that this would be enough to carry a film for over two hours, they were sadly mistaken.
Ostensible heroine Bella is such a weak, needy, pathetic co-dependent who stirs up so much sh*t for those she purportedly loves that it's hard to muster much rooting interest for her.
The net result is boredom unless you're already heavily invested in this series and bringing your own enthusiasm to the table.
Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, new director Chris Weitz has decided to be generally faithful to his source material despite the problems it's going to give him through a narrative that could delicately be described as 'sprawling.'
The Twilight Saga's New Moon is not terrible, despite featuring some excruciatingly lazy storytelling, atrocious performances, listless direction and a core storyline that is both uninteresting and somewhat disturbing.
