New Moon

Uh-oh. It's here. The big one. NEW BLOODY MOON. I have decided to do the rest of my review in a list. Because the last couple of hours have brought out the 12 year old in me and I used to like a list in my youth.

Things of note:
1) IT'S AMAZING.
2) Jacob's teeth are incredibly white.
3) Bella basically talks in grunts, but I suppose that's heartbreak for you. I actually liked her a lot better this time around. The acting has improved and her friendship with Jake makes me want a werewolf for a best friend. The dynamic of their relationship is perfectly portrayed, and it's lovely to watch, in spite of my being anti it in the book. I was Team Edward I'm afraid.
4) Edward doesn't really move his mouth when he talks. It makes it easier to fixate upon and wonder what it's like to have a little kiss with it. I imagine that's EXACTLY what Chris Weitz had in mind with his stage directions.
5) Charlie Swan got hot. Moustache and all.
6) Jacob really does have the most ridiculous muscles ever. Good ridiculous. Like when the kids say 'sick' but don't mean vomit. And I know this because I spent the majority of the last 2 hrs and 15 mins watching them closely.
7) Said muscles made my fickle mind decide I might not be Team Edward after all and maybe, just maybe, I'm Team Jacob. Or can I be both? Team Jedward? Or is that just too X Factor?
8) For all Stephanie Meyer's being not the best writer in the world (I mean in terms of Pulitzers, clearly her imagination is brilliant), the woman can capture youth like no other. The heartbreak, the confusion, the loneliness and the love - the teen angst is palpable and even the most grown up of grown ups in the theatre felt it.
9) Dakota Fanning is one scary mother fucker.
10) When Aro reads Alice's thoughts and it cuts to a scene - WEIRD. You'll know what I mean.
