In the Twilight Zone

Very rarely does a movie come along that is soooooo bad that I find myself obsessed with its flaws. Even more rarely does said movie make a bizillion dollars opening weekend. New Mood is that movie. A movie that is so bad, I was inspired to share my thoughts, insights and takeaways.

Belle and her age obsession - seriously what is the message we are sending here? An 18 year obsessed with the fact that she is getting old. And what makes her feel this way? The fact that her 100 plus year old boyfriend stopped aging at 17 because he is DEAD. Belle stresses over the fact that she will get old and aged and pasty boy will always look 17. Can we find a more pressing relationship issue to obsess about? How about the fact the you will never have children with this man? How about the fact that you and your boyfriend can't take a romantic trip together to Hawaii because, he will sparkle in the sun. How about the fact that anytime you cut yourself you have to worry that he or his family might want to drain you. I'm sorry Belle, your 18 years of youth pale (no pun intended) in comparison to your bigger problems.


My big take away message from this movie was women have to choose between dogs or bloodsuckers. Which is the lesser of two evils? When faced with a dilemma like that, I say go with the one with the best abs.

Speaking of best abs, why in God's name did the writer/director/producer, whoever decide to have Edward take off his shirt and show off his scrawny pasty body? Especially after Jacob's shirt was not only off but it was off for most of the movie. Note: if you are going to show the wack chest, show it BEFORE you show the hot one. You have to build. The chests should get better, not worse.


Speaking of hot chest, the scene when its raining and Belle goes to Jacob's house and Jacob walks by shirtless bulging muscles and ripped abs. And its raining and its all hot and sexy. What does Belle say? "You cut your hair?" What?? Is that the first thing you noticed? I was thinking more, "F#@% ME NOW!!!" But that's just me.




So to recap, Jacob hot, Edward not, Belle annoying, New Mood, stupid.
