New Moon

I am a fan of the infamous Twilight Saga and went to see the second installation of the series over the weekend, New Moon.

Before I could see such an amazing movie, I had to do some prerequisite activity to prepare for the 2 hours and 25 minutes I would be spending with my beloved vampire dreamboat, Edward and the lucky love of his life, Bella.

As I ransacked the Dollar Store for chocolate candy to smuggle into the movie theatres, I started to build with anxiety as I approached the movie I have waited one year to see.

I dragged my little sister with me to see the movie which I have not shut up about since I left the theatres last year when the first movie in the saga was released, Twilight.

I did not hear one review that made the movie sound intriguing and I was prepared to be greatly disappointed but knew I had to see it.

Men may not understand why girls of all ages are obsessed with the pale, cold blooded vampire but then again women do not understand why the Star Wars trilogy is some sort of right of passage.
What men do understand is that you cannot see just one movie out of the three, you must see them all. Therefore, I had to sit through the entire movie whether I loathed the film or not.

I cried, I laughed, I smiled, and I remembered that I have spent a weeks worth of hours to read through every single word Stephanie Meyers put into writing all four novels. With that said, I am in complete compliance with everyone who has said, "the movie could never do justice to the book." There is just no way to compare the written word to the big screen.

What I will say is having my imagination put to life in the movies has been a blessing and I was not disappointed at all. It could have been a lot worse and I thoroughly enjoyed all that was crammed into the movie.

I am already craving the third movie to come out, until then the second one needs to come out on DVD so I can quench my desire to watch New Moon over and over again.
