So it happened. The second installment of the Twilight saga was released, and my oh my has it caused a stir. The moment the lights went up in the fully packed screening, a level of enthusiastic chatter filled the room. The audience were just as invloved as they were with the cult books, it’s what everyone has been waiting for. New Moon took over $140.7 million in the US in its first three days.

Without giving anything away (as I know a number of my classmates have yet to see it) all I can say is that it was even better than I’d hoped. Where the first film, Twilight, did not do the book justice, this one completely does. It’s very accurate, and lived up to the expectations. About halfway through I had already decided that I was going to need to see it again.

The third movie – Eclipse – is being filmed right now, and I cannot wait!

Team Jacob!
