Risking being recognized: Ms. TCA and her BFF Alice So, New Moon may be getting
shizzzy reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (wow - 29%, seriously?), but I saw New Moon last night, and I loved it!! Without giving anything away, here is my incomplete and totally subjective list of stuff that I loved:
1)
Edward SPARKLES beautifully in New Moon!!! Not like the glitter-glue effect of Twilight. Somehow, they make RPattz even more gorgeous than he is!
2)
Vampire make-up is seamlessly beautiful -- It always killed me that I could see Esme's make-up line end halfway up her forehead in Twilight
3)
Bella doesn't blink like she's had too much caffeine this time around; KStew gives a really amazing, compelling performance. Loved her!
4)
Superior Special Effects -- Now THIS is how Vampires are supposed to move. The stunts were convincing. I love you Chris Weitz!
5)
Holy Jailbait -- Wow, I'm a diehard Team Edward gal, but I think Taylor Lautner was amazing as Jacob and I may have to go Team Switzerland from now on. Taylor was great - and so was the chemistry between him and KStew! Who else almost cried during
the heartbreaking you-know-what scene? Sob.
6)
THE MOVIE's ENDING: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE^100000Alright, there is so much more to love, but my addled brain is still on a New Moon high. Lorabell will have her own take too.
WHAT DID YOU THINK??If you haven't seen it, run thee to the theater.
