twillight

I got invited to see twilight with a friend. Twilight apparently is the first series of young adult vampire books. The theme seems to be paranormal romance, romance where one of the characters turns out to have paranormal powers (ie they are a vampire, or werewolf or something along those lines). Not being a big follower of parnormal and/or romance the movie didn't do too much for me. This film felt like a slow extended episode of Gilmore Girls with some vampires thrown in. I will say that the movie does have some funny moments and some refreshing new spins on the vampire myth. The tiresome catholic dogma and gothic imagery are left out. I was reading that this movie had the highest box office take for a movie by a female director so I suppose it is historically signficant.
