Yet another typical spineless New Moo...Oh Brother. Yet another typical spineless New Moon review from a hopelessly non-romantic critic. It starts out with first dissing the fan base, which is mostly girls. You would never see a review of Harry Potter or even American Pie start with a curmudgeonly patronizing nod to an all boy fan base. Sigh.<br /><br />After that rousingly insulting beginning, instead of giving the film a thorough review, we see quibbling about the films attempts to add some levity into what is essentially a heartbreaking story.<br /><br />I thought the subtle jokes were fantastic punctuation marks lightening up the dark mood and made perfect sense. This irony of jokes and the serious is present in the books for sure - and I thoroughly think these smiles were needed and at all like Chris' work in directing American Pie. That was a cheap shot.LAMOVIEFANnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203008102640994648.post-80722253926699099842009-11-28T04:07:53.263-05:002009-11-28T04:07:53.263-05:00fyi, the part when Bells said "he probably ha...fyi, the part when Bells said "he probably has that flu that's going around" she wasn't referring to swine flu at all, if you read the book you would have known that. so if you intend to diss the film, just make sure you get the facts right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
