Some friends and I went to New Moon this week. We had read the books and wanted to see the movie. Now, I am not a movie go-er, I usually manage to see only one or two a year. I much prefer the books. So, here are my general comments:
I didn't realize the vampires were so glittery
Young love is inexplicable and painful to watch (But why is a 109 year old suffering from it?)
Bella pouts wonderfully
Jacob has wonderful abs but weird hair until he turns into a werewolf.
Generally, the movie was enjoyable and I'll probably buy the DVD when it comes out. I did just repurchase the book in paperback since Amazon had it cheap. I donated my copy to my HS Media Center after I read it the first time.
I am waiting with some anticipation for the new movie based on Darren Shan's Cirque du Freak series. I have had the books in the Media Centers for years. I expect resurgence in popularity when the movie comes out on October 23. The movie looks a little dark. It also looks interesting. This one seems to be skewed to the boys.
I just found out that this is based on the first three books in the Cirque du Freak series.
