My first 'kinda movie review' (what the heck...it's my blog afterall)

Watched Twilight recently - i don't think I need to tell anybody what the movie is about as I am sure everybody who is alive and not a complete ignorant already knew. Despite the not so good review, I thought the movie is better than my expectation, of course I didn't expect much from the movie either (sorry). That's the beauty of low expectation. But really, i think the movie is good, the chemistry between Bella and Edward is surely there and that's important, I enjoyed watching it and quite satisfied with the cast, especially with Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson.

In fact, after I saw it, I went home and started to read (read: skim) through the books again just because I want to. I have to say I am too smitten by Edward Cullens...this is probably the most embarassing thing to say considering I am NOT a teenager and I know man like that does not exist...hey, but he's not a regular man, he's a vampire and it is a fictional character so everything is possible and I don't think I am the only mom who is smitten by this character (or am I??).

Anyway, if there is one thing that needed to be improved in the sequel, I would choose the make up. A little or much improvement on the make up will make the movie a lot better (hint: learn from make up artist of 'Interview With The Vampire'), especially for Jasper. I don't know if it's the make up or the too-much potrayal of brooding vampire, but Jasper looks far from scarry, in fact he looks really funny, like some kid put a make up on him. I literally laughed when he came up in his first scene.

Looking forward for the sequel, in fact before the sequel, I may watch the movie again (in DVD) and try to get to the censored scene. Yeah, I live in Indonesia so there's always a censored scene, even if it's a PG-13 movie.

That's it for my first 'so-called' movie review. See you in the next movie review (if you still dare to read it next time).
