Eclipse

Ok, so my wife loves the Twilight series. The whole vampire/werewolf thing gets her engrossed. She like underworld but on no level of where Twilight is with her. So if you haven’t heard, the latest movie in the saga came out this past week, Eclipse. Now I’m not a big fan of the series, and I’d like to see Blade slice Edward in half, but going to a movie is going to a movie! We went to the Indianola theater, which was cheaper than anywhere in Des Moines, and reminded me of the theaters I went to when I was growing up. Kind of nice change. But as for the movie, it was actually pretty good. A lot better than the first two films. I’d say it’s more like an Empire’s Strike Back in the movies order. The acting was better, the action better. Still pretty cool seeing people turn into werewolves. So I’m giving it 2.5 stars out of 5. It’s probably #3 or #4 on the list of movies I’ve seen this summer.

New Moon

So Friday I helped (and my wife helped for the 2nd time) to boost the huge numbers of the Twilight saga's sequel "New Moon". Ok, so basically its a teeny bopper movie. It's Montegue's and Capulet's but in werewolf and vampire form. Was it entertaining? Yea, it was ok. I still don't understand the pale face love fest for Edward. Dude looks like a goober. The one thing I was excited about when I saw the preview was the transforming into a werewolf. THAT WAS COOL. I will admit. It wasn't the Wolverine Claws or anything. But it was pretty cool. Overall, it's going to make a lot of money and how they aren't making the 4th movie yet, I'm still unsure of. Do they not know the amount of money it will bring in? So it was entertaining, good time out with the wife. The 3rd movie comes out June 2010. My wife is already ready for the midnight showing again.
