So, Twilight. It was fun. I met Sallie at little after 10:15 at the cinema and we were the only ones there for a little while. The trailers they showed were of particularly high quality I thought. Maybe I was just in the mood to be entertained but I enjoyed them (except the one for The Unborn which I don't even want to think about).

I had heard that the Twilight movie was not that great so my expectations were low plus I really didn't have that much invested in whether it was good or not. I enjoyed the fourth book but the others were just above mediocre, IMHO. I don't even think Robert Pattinson is that cute (I much preferred Oliver Wood to Cedric Diggory, maybe it's the accent). Anyway, I thought they did a great job with the movie. The vampire special effects weren't overdone and the interaction between Bella and Edward, especially at the beginning, was quite humorous. The Cullen family for me was a mixed bag, mostly not fitting my idea of them from the books. Rosalie, especially, was a bit over the top with her venom. Also, the other high schoolers were caricatures but what can you expect in a movie that's really all about two characters. I liked Jacob and can't wait to see more of the wolves in the following movies (if they make them).

If you think you may have recognized Bella's mom and you're a 24 fan, yes, it is Sarah Clarke a.k.a Nina Myers!!!
