There are very few movies that I will take the day off from work to go see, Harry Potter and the Twilight Saga are really the only ones. Today, the fourth movie in the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn Part1, opened and I took the day off to go see it. I hate crowds and I hate the noise that large groups of people make, especially in movie theaters. Sitting near someone who can't shut up for two hours with repeated requests from surrounding patrons is enough to ruin a movie for me. Or having a child continually kicking the back of my chair is another sure-fire way to ruin the experience. Now that the Harry Potter series is at an end, I have only Twilight to look forward to- and that's not a lot. I'm sure that most people would agree that the movies are terrible- entirely entertaining- but silly. I think the movies could have been much better had they not casted Kristin Stewart as Bella; She's a horrible actress. Horrible! Robert Pattenson is kind of cute (although I much prefer him as Cedric Diggory) but the excitement of seeing Jacob without his shirt has worn off (plus the fact that lusting after a well-built 17 year old makes me feel a bit like a pedophile). Breaking Dawn Part 1 lived up to all of my expectations: silly, b-movie acting (mostly by Kristin), but entertaining. Was it worth taking the day off? Not as much as with previous Harry Potter films, but it was a good excuse anyway. Will I take the day next year when part 2 is released? Most likely.
