Godfrey notes that they shot this portion of the blockbuster against a green screen because there were no appropriate cliffs available on location in Canada. He also details that Stewart not only silenced her fear of water when jumping into a tank filled with waves and divers but also filmed this scene while she was sick.

It’s time to talk about ever horror fans favorite vampire series(yeah right) The Twilight Saga. Ever since I read the first book in the series I have loved the Twilight Saga. Shortly after I read the saga the first movie was released and I loved the movie along with millions of other fans. So naturally I was excited about seeing New Moon, the second story in the Twilight Saga. And after watching the movie, I’m not at all disappointed. New Moon is the best mainstream movie of 2009 in my opinion. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Mainstream movie that was as entertaining as New Moon.
Plot: Following Bella’s ill-fated 18th birthday party, Edward Cullen(Robert Pattinson) and his family abandon the town of Forks, Washington, in an effort to protect her from the dangers that inherent in their world. This leaves Bella heartbroken and numb. Until she befriends Jacob Black(Taylor Lautner) who is a member of the mysterious Quileute tribe, who have a supernatural secret of their own.
The first thing I noticed about New Moon was the cinematography. It was very good and I could tell right away that New Moon was shot better than Twilight. The cinematography wasn’t the only thing better about New Moon. I also thought the script was much better. The script is well written and almost all of the dialogue was intelligent, and I can’t say that about many movies these days. There was also some good humor thrown in every now and then. The acting was also better in New Moon. All of the cast members did a great job but Robert Pattinson did the best. He’s not in most of the movie, but he does great for the short while he’s in the movie. He said his lines with perfection and I don’t think anyone could have done better. I was also impressed by Taylor Lautner(Jacob) He also did a fantastic job. A lot of things were great about New Moon, but the entertainment factor is what really made it a good movie. It has a running time of over two hours and I never got bored. My eyes were constantly glued to the screen and I was disappointed when it ended. That’s the mark of a great movie. And last but not least, I have to mention the music. The music was fantastic and most importantly it fit into the movie.
I had a blast watching New Moon but it has it’s flaws. The first thing that bothered me was Kristen Stewart’s acting. I realize her character is suppose to be depressed, but at times she seemed emotionless and very wooden. The next thing I didn’t like was some of the CGI effects. For the most part the CGI looked pretty good, but it still CGI and I can’t like it no matter how good it looks. The only other thing I didn’t like was some of the cheesiness. I like cheesy movies just as much as anyone else, but some parts of New Moon felt a little to cheesy for a movie that is suppose to be serious.
Overall I loved New Moon. After thinking about it for a little while I have to say I enjoyed New Moon more than Twilight. I think the reason New Moon was better was because of Chris Weitz. In my opinion he’s a much better director than Catherine Hardwicke.
If you’re a fan of the movie Twilight or if you like the books I highly recommend you go see New Moon. Even if people aren’t a fan of the books I think they could still enjoy the movie if they would just give it a chance.
There’s been a lot of Twilight 3 talk in the last few weeks, so what has been said and when can you expect it?
The official synopsis for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (Twilight 3) goes like this: ‘Bella (Kristen Stewart) and…
