Finally

Hello! So the waiting was over. I finally saw the film New Moon. I was praying there would be available tickets hence Alex and I went to watch the first screen show of the day. When we got to the cinema there were already 20 people in the queue. Not bad at all. As we got into our seats the room just got filled bit by bit. I was munching as much popcorn as I can perhaps due to being nervous and just anxious waiting. Anyway after half an hour of ads and presentations the film went on alright.

For me who read the books more than once it's a bizarre experience. I sat there anticipating every scene and obviously knew what would come next. Thanks to spoilers they have removed the element of surprise for me although I was nearly in tears on some parts. Perhaps I could relate there in some aspect but that's another story. I told myself I won't be watching spoilers with Eclipse.

Overall the film was really good. The werewolves obviously gave it a new depth which I think would appeal to many male viewers. Edward looked more matured in this one. I don't know if the trick there was to give more emphasis on him being the vampire and shift the attention to Jacob making the latter more appealing. In which case the message was quite clear after hearing some ladies reacting while watching him. The effects were pretty cool and as for the fight scenes they were relatively realistic and well choreographed.
New Moon is much different from Twilight. It plays on pain, abandonment, friendship, solitude but absolution in the end. True human sufferings- spices to most happy endings. Can't wait for Eclipse.

When I saw BYJ with the dogs it reminded me so much of the film.. well the wolf is out of the big bag now. Have a magical weekend.
