It started with a plan - two of more friends wanted to go to Forks, WA as a goof. Sure, they like the movies, but don't wear Twilight shirts or throw darts at a poster of Bella (yet). The trip sounded fun regardless of the reason why we were going, so I agreed. I then got to thinking, what would it hurt to watch the first movie?? 2 hours of my life sure, but what the hell!.
To my surprise I was completely engrossed in the movie by the 15 minute mark and by the time there was only 20 minutes left and the battery died on my DVD player (I was of course watching in shame under the covers with headphones) I almost had a panic attack.
It is definitely teen angst but there is believable chemistry between the stars, the locations are beautiful and in the end it drew me in. Pretty impressive for a franchise I was sure I would despise.
I will be seeing the 3rd installment "Eclipse" on Saturday, so if you see a blonde in a baseball hat covering her face, it's probably me.
