The Twilight Saga: New Moon
PG-13
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Iin my opinion it pretty much covered all the important parts in the novel. The part where Jacob turns and where Jacob saves Bella and when Jacob... basically all the parts with Jacob in were the highlights of the movie. Definitely didn't fall short like that first one, good on ya Chris Weitz.
Y Tu Mama Tambien

Doesn't deserve anything higher really. Might as well have been a porno, I didn't really understand what the woman wanted exactly. Gael GarcĂa Bernal is extremely good looking, but other than that the movie was kinda naff.

American History X

"Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. " Powerful, shocking and most of all, real. Edward Norton gives a blistering performance as Derek Vinyard and is definitely one of his best performances by far. You hate him at first because he's a Nazi but when he reforms you start to sympathise with him. Edward Furlong, who played younger brother Danny was an excellent addition to the cast and might be the only film in which he truly delivers. I felt sorry for him at times because he was following his older brothers footsteps. American History X is a groundbreaking drama about the tragic consequences of racism.
Ginger Snaps

"I get this ache... And I, I thought it was for sex, but it's to tear everything to fucking pieces." Clever and original. The use of puberty and lycanthropy is outstanding. I can watch it over and over and yet, it never gets boring. Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins had amazing chemistry on screen and portrayed close-knit sisters Ginger and Bridgette beautifully. Ginger Snaps should definitely be considered as a modern classic of the Horror genre in the near future.
