Twilight: New Moon – Taylor Lautner

So there’s apparently a series of books called “The Twilight Saga” that are being made into a series of movies. Maybe you’ve heard of it? The first one came out last year and was called Twilight (huh!). And apparently there’s another one coming out called Twilight: New Moon. Sounds cool.

Ok, I’m kidding. Unless you’ve been living under a beaver dam, you know about Twilight. Hell, the even filmed it here in Vancouver. Chris and I avoided the movie in the theatre and eventually I ended up watching it after it was released on DVD. Seriously? Vampires that sparkle in the sunlight? Oy.

So there were a few highlights of the movie and one of them was of course the guys. What can I say, I had to dig deep for something to enjoy. I’m not talking about Robert Pattinson. I don’t think he’s that attractive at all. Taylor Lautner on the other hand is seriously cute (assuming you ignore that hideous wig he had to endure). Here’s a shot of him with short hair from Twilight: New Moon.

So much better without the wig! Anyway, if you watch the commercial / interview below, you see lots of stuff from the new movie, including a first look at the new werewolves and it actually looks better than Twilight! Here’s hoping.

The end of the weekend

Wow. This weekend went past nearly as fast as the week did. I can’t believe it’s Sunday night already.

Like every other person in North America (it seems) we went to see Dark Knight this weekend. I bought tickets online Saturday morning for the 7:20 show Saturday night. Good thing. By noon, every show for the day was sold out. We stood in line for 1:45 to get good seats (and we did) to see the cinematic spectacle.

I gotta hand it to Chris Nolan, he did it right. Dark Knight was everything we were promised it would be. It was dark, full of action, faithful to various parts of the comics (the good ones) and it was fun to watch. Heath Ledger’s Joker was done the way the Joker should be. He was more menacing than Kevin Spacey’s Lex Luthor, that’s for sure. Joker was down right creepy and demented. He was awesome.

Other than that, nothing terribly exciting happened. I did find some time to re-connect with my husband after a week that seemed more like two ships passing in the night. I missed him.
