Robbie Collin's DVDs of the week

DVDs of the week: Movie reviews by Robbie Collin

TWILIGHT (12): A moody girl falls for a moody vampire. Very much the poor cousin of Let The Right One In (below), but the teenage fanbase don't care-they're already frothing about sequel New Moon.

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (12): Rotten SFX blockbuster showcasing Keanu Reeves' talent for playing an alien struggling with the basics of human movement and speech. Dodge it.

MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA (PG): Animation about some zoo animals who meet their families in Africa. Sacha Baron Cohen steals the show as a lemur -the rest is blandly watchable.

WATCHMEN: TALES OF THE BLACK FREIGHTER (18): Horribly cheap adaptation of the pirate yarn deleted from Watchmen film. Bonus docu-spoof Under The Hood is all right.

SPLINTER (18): DECENT US-made horror about a nasty parasite that reanimates dead flesh, terrorising hapless punters in a backwoods petrol station. Well worth a look for some unchallenging late night chills

Woooh wooh wohh. Stop there. Bella is not a moody girl nor is edward! Bella is very mature for her age, and edward has been turned in to a moster ( in his opinion) and is hates it. He also has been alone for 90 years... YOU would be moody if you were lonely...for 90 years! And Edward also fights the arge to kill the meaning of his exitance every time he see her. So yes they may come aross 'moody' but they arent! And im sure if u ask any twilighter they will agree.
Thank You
