New Moon


Kevin surprised me tonight by taking me out to dinner and to see New Moon (thanks babe you are the best!).  The show was sold out and was packed with 12-14 year olds, most of them girls (of course).  Everytime one of the leading male actors appeared on screen all the girls made cat-calls and swooned.  Jacob got a much bigger reaction than Edward, it was pretty funny. 

I had mixed feelings on seeing this movie because Twilight was such a let down but I have to say that I loved New Moon.  I am a big fan of the Twilight books and was very disappointed with the first movie, I thought it was a joke.  But with the new director on New Moon everything is so much better.  The acting, hair and makeup, special effects, cinematography, everything about this movie was great.  The storyline followed the book really closely, near the end it was a little different but not to the point where it bothered me.  My favorite part about the movie was the wolves.  I thought they did an excellent job with the CGI and they made them look awesome.  I can't wait until the next movie comes out.

That's good to hear. I was really dissapointed with Twilight, as well.... music, make-up, special effects, acting. I've been
nervous to see New Moon because that was my favorite book. I'm glad you liked it.
I just can't believe the mania over it. It's so funny. My mom and I went to Comic-con last year and saw the cast of the movie, and I couldn't believe the intense amount of screams that were in that room.
