The Twilight Saga: New Moon (MOVIE / 2009)

Yes, I just watched New Moon. Since I don't have a review up for Twilight I will kind of lump that in with this one. You see, I don't really mind these movies and that is really the best I can say about them. While watching them there is never a point that I want to stand up and get out of the room as fast as I can. In Twilight I had a couple of issues with how cheesy some of the effect were, but all of that was addressed in spades with New Moon. There are a lot of interesting things going on around Bella, but the biggest problem I have with these films is that I cannot stand her. This is all coming from the movies as I have never, and probably will never, read the books. I don't know why Jacob and Edward are swooning over her, nothing was presented to me to say "Wow, this highly emotional chick is whats I need." But in spite of her moping around the entire time I found myself intrigued by what would happen next, a tepid intrigue but nonetheless I made it through the viewings unscathed.
