New Moon Review

I will probably get stoned to death by Twi-hards for saying this, but I thought the first Twilight movie was horrible!  I am not sure why they didn't put more money into it to make it a better film, with the following that the book series has, any person with a pulse and a half a brain would know that Summit Entertainment would make their money back ten-fold.

Thankfully, Summit put their money where their mouth is for the sequel, New Moon.  I will admit, I was one of the crazy fans in line for the midnight showing last night... Not because I was just DYING to see the movie, but it just sounded like something fun to do.  (The next day at work?  Not so fun.)  

The movie was of course cheesy and sappy at times but the two male leads were easy on the eyes and this installation of the Twilight series provided some comic relief at just the right points in the movie.  I thought there could have been more fireworks between Edward and Bella, just didn't sense the passion that they seemed to have in the books but I was happy that the acting seemed far less awkward than the last movie.

Overall?  Two thumbs up!  Probably won't see it in the theater again, but because I am a nerd, I will probably buy the DVD. :)  

Twilight... My Current Favorite Book!

I have been hearing a lot of buzz about this book entitled Twilight, so last Thursday, on a whim, I saw this book at Wal-Mart, it was thick and priced at $8, so I thought, what the hell. I started reading the almost 500 page book at 9 p.m. this past Thursday and was half way done by mid-Friday morning. I probably would have finished it on Friday, but I was in Minnesota for the football game. As soon as I got home this afternoon, I started reading again and didn't put it down until I was finished! The book is an easy read, no real thinking involved, but it is such a unique story line, absolutly amazing! I am not a vampire, gothic type person, but you almost forgot how absurd the idea of vampires are once you start reading it. I am going strait to the store tomorrow night after I get off work to pick up the next one in the series!!! I highly reccomend this book to anyone!

Also, check out the author's web site, it's pretty interesting!
