If Bram Stroker went to Sweet Valley High...



Mark and I finally watched "Twilight" this weekend. It's a really nice film - if you're 16 years old. I swear, I could feel the collective swooning of the audience at Glorietta whenever Bella and Edward would have scenes together.

What's interesting about the film is that it's really a teen flick/chick flick whose lead characters happen to be Vampires. All the ingredients of a high school movie are there: the school cliques, the overprotective parents, the disapproving sister, two guys after the same girl, forbidden love - this could've been "Pretty in Pink" with Dracula thrown into the mix.

Despite being older than the "target market", I liked the film. As Bonique said, it's a cute, romantic story with a lot of "kilig moments" embedded throughout the 2 hour film. Hey, you can never go wrong with romantic movies.

My only beef in this film was: Why does Edward Cullen look like he's perpetually constipated?
