The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

"I used to be good, but not anymore Bella"


Far better than its predecessor, which surprised me, I was thinking it would be the same. This time around we find Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), picking up close to where the last movie left off. Edward fearing for Bella's safety after recent occurrences leaves Bella and goes to Italy with his family. Heart broken, she turns to a long time friend Jacob(Taylor Lautner) and with Edward out of the picture Jacob tries to express his love for Bella while protecting her from vampires that wish to do her harm. *SPOILER ALERT* He's a HULK size wolf, which sounds a little cheesy but it works on screen. Now I am not a fan of the 1st Twilight... at all but this gives hope. So if your a guy who gets sucked into watching one of these movies, this would be the one. The acting is better, story is better, and to me it felt like a 180 degree turn for the series. 2/5 - tom
