The Twilight Saga: New Moon

in Movies

Disappointing. I wasn’t a fan of New Moon in book form for many of the same reasons I don’t like The Twilight Saga: New Moon in movie form. Bella still spends those four dormant months and instead of  blank pages we get agnsty music and a montage. In fact, she whines and mopes a lot [...]
