The Twilight Saga: New Moon Movie Review
20 November 2009 11:46 PM, PST
It's here. The Twilight Saga: New Moon is finally upon us, ready for Twilighters the world over to sink their teeth into for every longing glance, romantic beat, killer transformation, and shirtless hunk. Our review in a nutshell: New Moon is a vast improvement over Twilight, but that's far from high praise, as the first film -- with its lame visual effects, dull pacing, some stiff acting, etc. -- set the bar very, very low. But first, the story: Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart) are back, and there's trouble in the air. Edward, being a vampire and all, knows that he shouldn't be with the mortal teen Bella, and, as much as he loves her, as much as it pains him, he dumps her -- cold and hard -- and leaves Forks. Unbeknownst to Bella, of course, Edward would die for her. He loves her too much to not be with her and, »

Exclusive Interview: Dakota Fanning (The Twilight Saga: New Moon)
19 November 2009 10:55 PM, PST
Dakota Fanning makes quite an impression in The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009). Actually, Fanning makes a strong impression in every movie she does. At just 15 years old, she's already one of the best and most accomplished actresses out there, with credits spanning from I Am Sam (2001), The Cat in the Hat (2003), and War of the Worlds (2005) to Dreamer (2005), Hounddog (2007) and the upcoming film The Runaways (2010), which reteams her with New Moon co-star Kristen Stewart. New Moon casts Fanning as Jane, the super-nasty Volturi who can inflict serious pain merly by using her mind. It's a small role, really, just a few minutes of screen time, but Fanning maximizes every second of it, relying on pure performance, an assistant from creepy red contacts and face-whitening makeup, and precious little dialogue. Popstar recently spoke to Fanning while she was doing her bit to promote New Moon -- which opens nationwide on November »

Twilight Movie Review
18 November 2009 11:54 PM, PST
Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novel Twilight makes it to the screen with an adaptation that's good but not great, entertaining but not enthralling, and engaging without being particularly scary. Pardon the pun, but there's just not very much at stake in this vampires-for-teens, PG-13-chaste tale of star-crossed lovers. Ah, but what lovers they are, the human teen Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and the ages-old vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) -- and they're what salvages the film. Out in Forks, Washington, Edward is the pale, mysterious kid at school. And everyone thinks his whole family is odd, too. Well, they are. They are -- shhhhhhh -- vampires. They like humans and try to fit in wherever they go, but go they must move pretty often, as they don't age and eventually the locals start to notice such things. Well, that and all the dead animals everywhere. Anyway, town newbie Bella is a pretty, »
