team werewolf

i was 3/4 into the book when i watched the movie, new moon. for those who didnt read the book, they must have found the movie painfully slow and draggy. but for me, the pace was actually much faster than the book, cos i know i took damn long just to get to the part, but we were just 15 mins into the movie.

the movie follows the progression of the story quite religiously, so much so that i could recognise most of the dialogue as straight off the book. but as in twilight, i cant help but find the exchanges between edward and bella awkward. why is he speaking like he is constipated?? and she really does seemed to have one expression only throughout the book - that pained, blank look.

wish the movie skipped some of the parts, and spent a bit more time developing the characters and relationships between the wolf and the girl, and the girl and the vampire. instead, there's length but no depth.

anyhow, i totally agree that this movie is targetted at ladies between ages of 13 to 30. if you dont fulfill either criterias, chances are you'll hate the movie.

***warning! you'll think i'm a 16 yr old teenage girl after reading the following paragraph***
i'm in love with jacob black. yes, he does look a little weirrrd (and i think he looks crappy with long hair). but he was so sweet and endearing, with this everlasting happy aura surrounding him (before he turned in a werewolf that is). he was obviously head over heels for her; you can tell just by looking at the way he looks at her. in the presence of such intense fierce love (even though it's really only on-screen and fictitious), it makes my heart melt...

and let's not forget, that HOT BOD. he is officially my fav character in the movie hehehe. i'm officially on the team WEREWOLF HAHAH.
