"New Moon"

With the current spate of vampire films being released, such as "New Moon" which critics have thoroughly panned, I have to state, you do know vampires aren't real. I state that because in watching a few minutes of an interview promoting the latest "Twilight" film, it was being discussed as though vampires are real.

A vampire film that is disgusting, which I strong suggest you avoid, is "Queen of the Damned" starring the late R&B singer, Aaliyah. When it was first announced she was doing the film, I thought it a bad idea. The finish product is so grotesque, sick and disturbing, it really was not best for her audience.

Other bad films in the horror genre that should be avoided are the "Exorcist" and "Poltergeist." The child star of the latter film, died at a young age, under sad circumstances. I'm not a fan of horror movies. It is negative, violent, gives kids harmful ideas and can create dysfunctional thinking.

Critics Slam New Moon

Thursday – November 19, 2009 – 7:07pm - New Moon pales in comparison to Twilight, according to the critics. Chicago Sun-Times' Roger Ebert says "the characters in this movie should be arrested for loitering with intent to moan. Never have teenagers been in greater need of a jump-start. Granted some of them are more than 100 years old, but still: their charisma is by Madame Tussaud."

Ty Burr of The Boston Globe remarks: "Sorry, girls: The thrill is gone." He says that "where the first film’s director, Catherine Hardwicke, plugged into [author Stephenie] Meyer’s vision of supernatural teenage lust with abandon, Chris Weitz is stuck with a sequel that’s a morning-after mope-fest."...
