Pass the Popcorn: Twilight

I finally broke down and watched Twilight with my wife. If you don’t know what’s it’s about, then you’ve been living under a pop culture rock for the last year. It’s basically the equivalent of Harry Potter for women of all ages. Of course, only teenyboppers will admit it.

I had low expectations for the movie, which were woefully met. The pacing was erratic, the acting was uneven, and the plot seemed thin. Of course, my wife explained that a lot of the back story and emotional torment from the book was left out. The movie just seemed to lack soul. I guess given the subject matter that might be appropriate but not exciting to watch.

Fortunately for the franchise, a new director signed on for the next movie, a move that should add some much needed life to a series about the undead.
