New Moon Shines

New Moon is a rare example of the 2nd effort being better than the 1st. We follow Bella's mood swings from depressed to hopeful to manic and get to see Jacob shirtless for our trouble. It is a great trip down teen angst/first love lane!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Character Driven Plot Creeps Up On You
PostedJuly 15, 2009

This 6th installment of the Harry Potter franchise tries hard to become a romantic comedy, but falls very short of the action - fantasy fans have come to expect. The beginning of the movie sets a dark and ominous mood, but then the plot bogs down in teenage crushes, furtive looks, and missed romantic opportunities. The gratuitous fight scene in the middle of the film (non-existant in the book) is odd, given the down play of the fight scene at the end. Special effects were amazing, and fans of the series will enjoy seeing their favorite characters become closer.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Twilight

The movie version of the novel "Twilight" is well done. Although it does not adhere to the book exactly, the story line and "feel" remain the same. Series fans will love the creepy foreshadowing in the final scene, and the cameo by author Stephanie Meyer. Romantic tension strings viewers along and keeps you on the edge. Casting is excellent...Kristen Stewart was born to play the clumsy Bella, while Rob Pattinson keeps human hearts fluttering as the impossibly perfect Edward.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
