The Twilight Saga: New Moon



And I didn't even do a review for Twilight!

New Moon, was not that disappointing in my opinion, given that I didn't read the book.

Somehow I was embarassed if I were to be one of their casts, because New Moon is a combination of bad acting one after another.

Let's start with Edward Cullen, the serious, intense male vampire with a glittery side, literally.

Edward (Rob Pattinson) broke up with Bella to protect her. As if. It was a really, really long break-up. And him disappearing mysteriously was out of the question. It was weird though.

Bella Swan (Kristin Stewart), is an ordinary girl with a desire to become a vampire.

Okay now this I got to say. Bella is a sex deprived teenager and too stupid to understand what is going on around her. I mean, what's with the facial expression?

Jacob, played by Taylor Lautner, managed to steal the show this time.

In Twilight, he was nothing but just another character that clearly has a crush on Bella. This time, he proved to everyone that Shark Boy was way behind him. Remember The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl? I'm still creeped out by the movie. Plus Lautner is only 17 years old, and with a body more muscular than anyone beyond his age. Super!

I will never recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't watched Twilight yet, because Twilight was a great movie, and New Moon was a bad sequel.

My Rating: 2/10


Grease (1978)



Yes. I watched Grease

And so should you!

This movie is an embodiment of teens in the 50s, better than the original, cheesy movie from Disney, which by the way has its own merchandise.

Although the acting wasn't the best from John Travolta, it was still entertaining watching him and his gang dancing and singing in a tight pants and leather jacket. I was being sarcastic, yes.

Olivia Newton-John however did a very superb job, but was outshined by one the casts called Betty Rizzo (Chaning Stockard).

The best part of it all was the songs! I absolutely fell in love with the songs, as gay as it sounds, but it was kind of cool.

Songs such as 'You're the one that I want' and 'We go together' got me hooked. I even downloaded them!

Grease was directed by Randall Kleiser, and this movie should always be a reference to any director who wanted to make a teen movie. This was absolutely perfect in its own kind.

My Rating: 9/10
