I know I know, we’re supposed to only cover movies with explosions/Jason Statham causing explosions/William Shatner blowing up giant spiders. And you’re right…you’re right. Unfortunately some of us know real live members of the opposite sex, who make us wash on a semi-regular basis, and eat green things (Skittles don’t count apparently). And they also inflict this on us – lucky for you we’re a bastion of balanced, representative journalism eh? Best treat it as a public service – if you ever do manage to set up an internet date that doesn’t have a beard and get out of your parent’s basement to go on it -this’ll give you something to talk about won’t it?

What Not To Watch: New Moon

Generally, we watch any old crap round here – in the interest of being a representative, even-handed site obviously – from Marley & Me to Apocalypse Now,it’s all fair grist to the review grinder-yep,we even sat through Troll 2 once.
But just occasionally there are some movie crimes so cynical and heinous in their deployment that we’re robbed of even the enjoyment bought by bright shapes moving around a large screen.
Twilight: New Moon is one of them…

Complete Disaster!
Ah Roland Emmerich, where would we be without you? Along with Michael Bay, Emmerich is almost totally responsible for sucking anything even resembling plots out of Summer Tentpole movies over the last few years. In the case of transformers, at least Bay had an excuse-he wants to flog you toys – so it’s hard to work out why grumble like this ever gets greenlit. One can only assume that Hollywood junior execs are now so young they’ve never seen Ghostbusters, and actually think this is a real movie.
