Twilight, New Moon Review



In the second installment of Stephen Meyer's phenomenally successful TWILIGHT series, the romance between mortal and vampire soars to a new level as BELLA SWAN (Kristen Stewart) delves deeper into the mysteries of the supernatural world she yearns to become part of-only to find herself in greater peril than ever before.

Following Bella's ill-fated 18th birthday party, EDWARD CULLEN (Robert Pattinson) and his family abandon the town of Forks, Washington, in an effort to protect her from dangers inherent in their world. As the heartbroken Bella sleepwalks through her senior year of high school, numb and alone, she discover Edward's image comes to her whenever she puts herself in jeopardy. Her desire to be with him at any cost leads her to take greater and greater risk.

With the help of her childhood friend JACOB BLACK (Taylor Lautner), Bella refurbishes an old motorbike to carry her on her adventures. Bella's frozen heart is gradually thawed by her budding relationship with Jacob, a member of the mysterious Quileute tribe, who has a supernatural secret of his own.

When a chance encounter brings Bella face to face with a former nemesis, only the intervention of a pack of supernaturally large wolves saves her from a grisly fate, and the encounter makes it frighteningly clear that Bella is still in grave danger. In a race agains the clock, Bella learns the secret of the Quileutes and Edward's true motivation for leaving her. She also faces the prospect of a potentially deadly reunion with her beloved that is a far cry from the one she'd hoped for. With more of the passion, action and suspense that made TWILIGHT a worldwide phenomenon, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON is a spellbinding follow-up to the box office hit.

2012 Review



If director Roland Emmerich and the ancient Mayan calendar are to be believed, we'll all be dead in three years. In 2012, Emmerich's latest disaster epic, earth crust displacement and a unique solar alignment bring about the end of the world as we know it. (Mayans scholars, it should be noted, claim they've been misunderstood, and that their prophecies really refer to a rebirth for humanity in 2012 rather than our utter and complete annihilation. We'll see.)

The story centers on Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), a struggling author who moonlights as a limo driver for a shady Russian billionaire. Jackson's ex-wife Kate (Amanda Peet) and their two kids live with her new boyfriend, plastic surgeon Gordon (director-actor Tom McCarthy). While watching his kids for the weekend, Jackson happens to learn the awful truth via the apocalyptic ravings of radio talk show host Charlie Frost (Woody Harrelson), who relates the story of how the Mayan calendar prophesied the end of the world on December 21, 2012. With California falling apart around him, Jackson races against time to save his family. Meanwhile in Washington D.C., President Wilson (Danny Glover), his chief of staff Carl Anheuser (Oliver Platt), and idealistic young science adviser Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) struggle with how to save as many people as they can -- and who these fortunate few will be. Such moral, political and philosophical questions are raised but never explored in enough depth to distract from the real reason why everyone is watching 2012: to see the world destroyed in the most visually amazing manner possible.

"The sky was all purple; there were people runnin' everywhere. Tryin' to run from the destruction; you know I didn't even care." Those lyrics from Prince's "1999" are applicable to 2012. Remember the scene from Emmerich's The Day After Tomorrow where the characters outrun the breaking ice? Well, now imagine an entire movie made up of such sequences and you'll have 2012, an utterly preposterous disaster epic that cements Emmerich's status as our latter day Irwin Allen.

2012 is every bit as cheesy, melodramatic and full of jaw-dropping spectacle as the Allen-produced star-studded disaster epics that inspired it -- and, dare I say, almost as much dopey fun as them. As in those '70s classics, respectable actors are cast in essentially soap opera-level roles where they get a few perfunctory scenes to establish what's at stake for their characters beyond just mere survival. When that's out of the way, they can get down to their real duty which is to shout, run and look scared.
