Roger Ebert reviews Twilight


The movie is lush and beautiful, and the actors are well-chosen. You may recall Robert Pattinson (Edward) as Cedric Diggory, who on Voldemort's orders was murdered in a graveyard in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Maybe he was already a vampire. Pattinson is not unaware of how handsome he is. When Bella and Edward, still strangers, exchange stern and burning looks in the school cafeteria, he transfixes her with a dark and glowering - nay, penetrating - stare. I checked Pattinson out on Google Images and found he almost always glowers at the camera 'neath shadowed brow. Kristen Stewart's Bella, on the other hand, is a fresh-faced innocent who is totally undefended against his voltage.

It made me laugh :)
I kept picturing Roger Ebert saying "It's that damn Robert Pattinson! He's so hot right now!" (in a Mugatu voice)

I just saw the Today Show replay. Kristen appeared somewhat uptight and fidgety; Rob was so much more relaxed. He's such a delicious thing to wake up to...I thought it was really cute when they stood up to go outside to meet the crowd and he started humming a little :)
Same old questions, though; ask something we don't already know!
(It was nice that the girls behaved themselves and gave them a chance to be speak.)
No beanie!!!
