Twilight Playing Now!

Twilight Fans of the Stephenie Meyer's best-seller have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this film. The story focuses on a high-school girl (Kristen Stewart) who relocates from Arizona to the Pacific Northwest during her junior year. And wouldn't you know it, she falls in love with one of the town's incognito vampires, the most mysterious and beautiful boy in school. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson do have some genuine chemistry as a couple, but of the vampire action sequences in the film Genevieve Koski of The Onion writes, "these setpieces are hindered by cheesy CGI effects and unfortunate styling that makes the vampires look not like impossibly beautiful killing machines, but like a bunch of dorks who fell into a vat of pancake makeup." And though the special effects and makeup aren't the strong points of this production, Richard Corliss of Time Magazine says, "So Twilight isn't a masterpiece -- no matter. It rekindles the warmth of great Hollywood romances." Edward Douglas on ShockTillYouDrop.com is less kind, breaking it down like this: "Essentially, a CW take on Anne Rice, catering to the gooey-eyed fans of Meyer's novels and their unrealistic romantic expectations." So if you are checking it out this weekend, be prepared for sold-out shows, long lines and, apparently, fans with gooey eyes.
