The Twilight Obession
|
|
Twilight is especially popular in Arizona because the author Stephanie Meyer lives here in Arizona and even though my literary icon Stephen King has denounced Stephanie Meyer I think the Twilight series has its place in modern times. Any book series that gets kids and teenagers to read is to be celebrated. Literature itself has fallen so dramatically with younger adults and children that it is a welcome relief that books can still grab interest and become obsessions like wildfire. With most vampire series being R rated and worse (Anne Rice anyone) it is good to see a series that fits with audiences in the younger preteen and teen years that can still touch the subject.
I myself enjoyed the first movie, I haven’t read the books only because I haven’t had the time not because I didn’t want to. My wife must be one of the very few women on the planet who has no interest in seeing the Twilight: New Moon film, even when I asked her if she wanted to go see it together she made it clear she had no interest.

I openly admit that I watched Twilight, the first movie, for the first time last night and though it was an enjoyable film, it certainly wasn’t one of the best vampire movies, I’ll probably give the second one a miss as well, I would rather see a new film in the Underworld franchise!

I enjoyed it as a film, agree with your assessment not the best vampire film but probably the best one the whole family can see, most vampire films are pretty much R rated.
I’m glad to read that you enjoyed Twilight the movie. I read the book and watched the movie (the book was much better, but the great cast made the movie very enjoyable). My husband liked Twilight, too, so you’re not alone…he even enjoyed the follow-up New Moon.
And I agree with you, at least Stephenie Meyers was able to get young people interested in reading literature again. That’s a plus!
Thanks, I have heard the 2nd movie isn’t as good as the first but I don’t listen to critics much for films, I tend to like movies that aren’t rated well anyway.
