Believe it or not, I went to see the over-anticipated New Moon. (If you are unfamiliar with the popular “Twilight Saga,” allow me to fill you in: It’s a story about a plain, boring girl who falls in love with an awkward pale freak who happens to be a vampire. The conflict? He wants to eat her.)
In this sequel, the main characters face another challenge – distance. The vampire “takes a holiday” like any well-respected Brit and blah blah blah. In an attempt to get over the absence of her blood sucker lover, the girl starts to fall for a childhood friend – who she later finds out is a werewolf. Awkward!
Now I will NOT spoil the movie for the rest of you, but I will say it is actually quite entertaining. A lot of action, some flashes of comedy and a whole lot more intense staring in the woods – the film has something for everyone. And the “teen wolf” is pretty hunky. I’m not into guys, but this guy’s a keeper. If I was in the movie, I would be “dancing with wolves.”
I didn’t see this film on my own. My wife made me see it. As a husband, I’m obligated to do these sorts of things once in a while.
