Well, that was unexpected...

So, Twilight has finally been released this side of the pond.

Curiosity and some good reviews drove me to go and see said movie. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I thought I'd either hate it or spend the whole time laughing at how terrible it was.

...

Thing is, I didn't. Because (and no-one is more surprised than me that I'm saying this)... it's actually a good movie.

(Mostly, anyway)

There are some things that weren't too good, but overall, it was an enjoyable two hours. My absolute favourite, the one person who made the whole thing better, was...

Charlie.

Billy Black was cool too. And Jacob.

Also, Carlisle is pretty. Oh, so pretty, damn him.

(the teeniest of gripes... Edward mentioned that Carlisle turned him when he was dying of the Spanish 'flu in 1918. All very well... except the Spanish 'flu epidemic was in 1919.

Facts. Not that hard to check, people.)

Oh and... Kristen Stewart did pretty well with Bella, too. She seemed less of a Mary Sue than in the books. Of course, it's virtually impossible for her to be more of a Mary Sue.... nvm.

Overall: I'm giving Twilight(the movie) three-and-a-half stars. Not bad, mostly good performances, but room for improvement. (Also, I'm actually looking forward to New Moon now, if only because that will mean MORE JACOB.)

...I'm now going to watch more of The War Machines with One and Dodo and Polly and Ben.... *slides away*

(no subject)

Soooo... I'm watching The War Machines... and I've discovered two things:

1) the First Doctor is a lot more awesome than I thought he was.
2) I keep feeling the urge to hug Ben. *shrug* He's just great!

Now, off to finish this serial, then on to City of Death with Four and Romana II.
