TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE review: by the numbers

The Twilight Saga is about a young white girl whose affections are torn between an extremely old white man and a relatively youthful tanned fellow. The old dude glistens in the sun and wears make-up that makes him look like Data from Star Trek, while the young guy spends most of his time shirtless (even in the snow!), glowering, flexing his pecs, or being a wolf (for reasons unknown). Data hates the Wolf-Boy,...

Illiterate twitter response to Oprah’s TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE screening is positive, I think

I have no idea how twitter works, so I’m going to have to take moviefone‘s word on this one: Oprah held a secret surprise advanced screening of the upcoming Twilight Saga flick Eclipse, and we all know that anyone ignorant enough to enjoy Oprah’s shenanigans is probably also ignorant enough to enjoy a secret surprise advanced screening of a movie like Eclipse, so needless to say, the response...

TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE trailer is moody, absurd

The Twilight Saga: New Moon made the original Twilight seem like a masterpiece in comparison — faint praise at best. How will the next inevitable vampire / werewolf / teenage melodrama movie fare compared to its forebears under the auspices of new director David Slade (he directed Hard Candy and 30 Days Of Night before this)? Well, judging by this trailer alone, it looks set to continue the...

Summer review round-up: the good, the bad and the ugly

Way back in the beginning of December, in our first week of existence, I posted a list of the five most anticipated films of the summer. Now that it is officially autumn (even if the weather obstinately refuses to accept this incontravertible truth), it’s the perfect time to look back over the past three months and put the summer releases in perspective. There were a few surprises, some hits and some...

Froley’s Top 5 of 2009

Just kidding, New Moon is not only not in my top 5, it is one of the worst movies of all time. But now that I’ve got your attention, let’s look at 5 movies that were actually worthwhile in the otherwise weak cinematical year that was 2009. Bear in mind that up until December I wasn’t reviewing everything I saw, and I generally didn’t go out of my way to catch smaller or more obscure...

NEW MOON review: by the numbers

If I were writing a review for a normal, everyday, average movie, I would use words. Lots of lovely, eloquent, deliciously descriptive words, because I consider you intelligent enough to digest them and then form your own opinion about what I’ve said and how it relates to the movie I reviewed. In this case, however, you’ve almost certainly already made up your mind already about New Moon....

NEW MOON was the only film to crack Google most-searched of 2009

Might as well face facts and accept that Twilight is as huge as it is and will be around for a few more years yet, especially with the third film being released in July and reports that the fourth book might be doing a Harry Potter and being split into two films. To further prove Twilight’s dominance as a pop-culture force to be reckoned with, Google have revealed as part of their annual Zeitgeist...

The Twilight Saga NEW MOON trailer grits my shit

“Just promise me you won’t do anything reckless…” Are you fucking kidding me with this shit? That is one of the worst lines of dialogue, both written AND performed, I have seen/heard in a loooong time. Still — one must give credit where credit is due, and be damned if they don’t cater to their target audience perfectly. This is going to make a bucket load of money and spawn...
