What I'm Listening To: I'm not who I was-Brandon Heath
So I saw New Moon today, and I have to say that it was 10 times better than Twilight (I think it was totally the director switch). Even though some parts at the beginning were a little too overly cheesy, and the script was horrible in some parts, or maybe it might have been the actors' ability to portray the emotion needed. I'm not a diehard Kristen or Rob fan (Kristen more than Rob, I honestly think that her best work is Speak), but Taylor Lautner was simply amazing with his acting, no complaints there. Plus, some people at my job were totally creeping/almost pedophile in our assessment of all the hard work he put into keeping his role (when Taylor hits the gym, he HITS the gym). And we are all pleased, and belatedly remembered that he is now Taylor Swift's boyfriend. I guess it's a rumor now, but People Magazine confirmed it, and then took it off. Although that didn't stop us from coming up with nicknames for the two of them. TayTay Swizz, T squared, T Swizzle, and my personal favorite, T Swiftner. I want to see how they both act in their upcoming movie Valentine's Day. And I'm sure if they were going out, they would have plenty of adoring fans gunning for the union.
Also, while I was browsing though all the Twilight/New Moon information, I found that Summit issued a statement saying that Rachelle Lefevre was going to be replaced in Eclipse by Bryce Dallas Howard. I knew this about a week ago because I follow her on Twitter. She seemed shocked by the decision, so I don't know if I buy the whole scheduling conflict story because I read that Jason Rathbone (sp?) who plays Jasper was working on something and they worked with him. I haven't seen any of the other actress' work, but Rachelle was dynamite as Victoria and had a huge relationship with her fans. I'm not going to judge the other actress or down her, in order to give a fair assessment, but I will say she has a lot to live up to if she's going to take Rachelle's place as Victoria. Anyway, if you're unhappy with the decision, there is a petition going around on the web to get Rachelle back in Eclipse.
Overall, I'd give the movie a 4.5/5 and can say that I'm going to see it two more times 1 with the little sis and another with the best friend. Twilight fans, you DEFINITELY won't be disappointed ;)
