When you can live forever what do you live for?

Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands - and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. But he doesn't have fangs, and he doesn't drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward and Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?

Theatrical report

Twilight is long and boring and the audience laughed at the film more than we did with it but if you're a teenage girl who wants to fall in love with a bad boy who desperately needs saving then this is the movie for you. Even with the vampire battles and general violence you're still gonna love it (today's teenage girls are pretty well inured to this kind of violence). And if you're a Goth or - the Goddess forbid - an Emo then you're really gonna like it, after all, isn't it every girl's dream to have parents get divorced and drag her off to some awful hick town where everyone is retarded and it's not like they ever understood her anyway and then she meets the best-looking boy in school and he's a vampire and he wants to kill her but then he gives up his whole life for her, becomes her knight in shining armour and takes her to the prom where they declare their undying love for each other? Or do I just have chicks figured out all wrong?

The romance, supernatural, teen movie Twilight is directed by Catherine Hardwicke and stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner.
