New Moon

Well, we finally went and saw "New Moon" tonight. Emily had been begging all day to go and see it, but we had to stuff newspaper "guts" earlier. We ended up seeing the 8:10 p.m. showing. The kids are tired, but they enjoyed it.

As for me and Heath, we really liked it. I thought it was better than the first, but I am "Team Jacob" so of course this movie was going to be better for me. Heath thought it was a better movie than the first, too.

Austin said it was okay, but I think he really wants people to think he's cool and not a fan. Trying to be "manly" about it and say Twilight sucks when deep down, I think he doesn't mind it.

Ryan, of course, liked the action scenes, though some I had to cover his eyes. A little scary. He was funny when before the movie he told me he really needed some candy. I told him that he was fine and that I didn't have any and I was fine. He said that I was old and didn't need candy as much. Not like a kid. Little stinker.

My friend works at the theater and she hasn't seen it yet, so I told her I'd go to it again with her. Emily wants to see it again, too. We'll see.

If you are a fan of the books, this one follows the book pretty well. I wasn't disappointed with the new director. MUCH better than the first one (I didn't need sweeping shots of them standing in a wood. Dumb scene from "Twilight".)

I recommend this movie to any Twihard. I don't think you'll be disappointed unless you are Team Edward and want to see a lot of Rob Pattinson (although you'll see plenty of his chest. Not as impressive as Taylor Lautner's.)

Off to bed now. Late night, but well worth the bags under the eyes in the morning.
