I have been blogging about it months before it hit the big screen (if you have been following me you would know I blog about it every two weeks, together with my search on a Medicare supplement for our family every now and then), so you would not be surprised that I was able to see it the day it opened at the theaters. I was blessed to see it with girlfriends who are also twi-fans so all my (over)reactions were normal as we were all (over)reacting the same way.

I wish I can show the five stills that made my heart beat 1000times per minute but I can’t seem to find them all online. Rest assured, give me another week and my researching skills would have uncovered it!

1. Edward saying goodbye to Bella and kissing her on the head one last time before going away. That accomplished what 100 dialogues never could. Good job Rob P!

(This still was not it)

2. Jacob giving Bella the look at Emily’s place after fighting as a werewolf with fellow Quilette werewolf Paul.

3. Jacob and Bella on her truck on the way home before Jacob smelled Alice’s scent.

4. Jacob saying, “Bella, don’t go…for me.” before Bella & Alice went to Italy to try and save Edward from hanging himself in front of the Voltourri. Of course, Kristen Stewart had to ruin the scene by doing nothing but bite her oh-so-very-nice lips.

5.Edward’s “Marry me…Bella” – enough said.

Based from my scenes above, you can very well see that for me, Jacob was the star of New Moon As Bella said, “You are like your own sun” when she was cuddling with Jacob on her truck. And it is true, Taylor Lautner SHONE in this film – with his acting and his buff body, which is hard work I know . Edward has a few flaky scenes – I don’t know why he always seemed to be “reeling” it in all the time but his last scenes with Italy with him looking gloriously f-cking ugly but still amazingly gorgeous (I know – how does he do it?) was his redeeming grace. He was good there.

Bella was lame, and her only shining moment was at every succeeding scene she was shining and glowing and becoming more gorgeous and beautiful at the same time.

That said, CG animations were great. There were a few too many melodramatic action scenes but how can you portray vampire fight scenes without being gory in a romantic mushy movie right?

The movie was SO MUCH better than the first, and though I am not a Rob P fan, you can count on me to be first in line for Team Edward Jacob gave him a run for his money and for that alone, he earns a space in my dreams every night Stone cold though – all the way How can I say no to the romance and wisdom and passion of a 109 year old man in a 17 yr old (great) body?
