Ok, here was the new sequel on the Twilight Saga, "The New Moon" which we saw in theaters (with all the plumbing issues that is going on in my home, this was a relief) and guess what... I felt it to be much much better than the first movie. I am sure most of the reviews said otherwise, but somehow I felt the screenplay to be much better and neat than the previous one. I really liked the screenplay which included almost everything right from her dream, to the marriage proposal :). Well the ending was more abrupt but I guess you cannot explain each and everything on screen under a time limit. This would anyway require people to read the book to understand them especially on why the line "Marry me !" made Bella dumbstruck :).
Jacob's character gets all the appreciation in this movie, as it does in the book. Taylor Lautner was perfect for the role, with a perfect balance of his sensitive and violent wolfy side. He shifted between them with ease. Edward showed more pain on his face than the romance, but I guess I am getting used to Robert as Edward, even though I still dont approve of his for a Vampire (or may be I just cant seem to approve of anyone else either). Kristen was much better as Bella this time than she was in Twilight. I had less of Alice (Ashley Greene). She is always a pleasure to watch (even in the first movie) :)
Well I definitely liked it because the graphics were cool, the action extreme, the romance perfect, the confusion on the relationships neatly shown. Well 100% better than the first and much sincere to the book with a good screenplay. CatchIt!!!

The Phantom Strikes
Two or three days before I saw an Ad of a Movie which made me feel that I should be watching this movie, even it is too late for me :). The movie was The Phantom of the Opera. Agreed, that the first name that made me listen to the title of the movie was Gerard Butler ( I have liked quite a few of his works in Butterfly on a Wheel, P.S I love you etc etc...), but when I saw the ad again, I was enthralled by the colorful musical extravaganza it portrayed and I decided, no matter what, to watch the movie, even if that would mean that I might have to be late to office the next day ;)
I did watch it and I am extremely happy I did so, without a second thought. This is the first full musical movie I enjoyed (thanks to the subtitles in certain places) and, I am not sure of others, or even the other versions of the same movie, I enjoyed it a lot. I liked the music in this. Not too draggy, not too peppy, there was something that impressed me in this. May be I am not putting this right :)
I didnt change the channels during commercials, I was just hoping that they would not break for commercials coz it was breaking the flow of the music in me. I was so tense that I was holding my hands tightly, even without my knowledge, until I realized it was paining ;)
Almost at the end I realized that I happened to see the climax of a similar movie but it was in chinese I think, I dont remember it well. But I remember being surprised by that movie.
This movie left me with an unknown or unexplainable sadness in my heart. I am trying to figure it out why. But I am not yet able to, even though it was too emotional to make me cry. May be it is the music. I dont know. But I am very glad I watched it.
My favourite lines:
•Masquerade! Paper faces on parade. Masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you.
•You alone can make my song take flight. Help me make the music of the night.
•Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Lead me, save me from my solitude. Say you want me with you here, beside you. Anywhere you go let me go too.
•No more memories, no more silent tears. No more gazing across the wasted years... Help me say goodbye
•But his voice filled my spirit with a strange, sweet sound. In that night, there was music in my mind. And through music my soul began to soar...and I heard, as I've never heard before.
•Pitiful creature of darkness, what kind of life have you known? God give me courage to show you...you are not alone.
•Think of me, think of me fondly when we've said goodbye. Remember me once in a while รข" please promise me you'll try.
•Yet in his eyes...all the sadness of the world. Those pleading eyes that both threaten and adore...
Ciao :)
