Movie Review: New Moon

The Twilight saga continues in New Moon, with vampires and werewolves, more of the beautiful Kristen Stewart, and some amazing cinematography and special effects.

When Bella's vampire boyfriend decides she isn't safe with his blood-thirsty family and walks out of her life, Bella finds friendship, and some much-missed warmth (vampires are cold, remember?) in her American-Indian six-pack friend Jake, who, incidently, is also a werewolf. But while he loves her and wants to protect her from the vampires for the rest of his life, her heart still aches for Edward. And while she loves and needs Jake as her best friend, she's ready to give up everything to be back in the arms of her beloved vampire.

The movie has some amazing special effects, and thrilling action, especially some of the fight sequences between the werewolves, but compared to Twilight, the sequel comes across a little slow, and the second half seems to drag a wee bit. Of course, not that you complain, when the movie pretty much has Kristen in every frame!

Not a see-twice affair, but something you should try not to miss.
