Twilight: the movie
As promised, I’m reporting back with my take on the Twilight movie. The movie trailer always looked kind of Lifetime movie-ish to me, so when we sat down to watch, I made my husband promise not to laugh. But he did. A lot. And so did I. Though the film stayed pretty true to the storyline of the book, the production value was quite low. Since Ian is in the entertainment business, we both knew how much better it could have been. And typically when a movie opens with a voice-over it’s a sign of a weak film narrative. That being said, once I got past the fake-looking CG, I enjoyed the film. The acting – meh. But still, who could resist the star-crossed lover story of a vampire and a human? Would I have paid money to see it? No. But it wasn’t a waste of an evening either.

Thanks Tanya! You just saved me $12. If you like vampires, you should watch True Blood on HBO. If you don’t have HBO, I’m sure it will be out on DVD at some point. It’s a great show!
