The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Certificate: 12A

Running Time: 124 minutes

Director: David Slade

I love, love, LOVE every single novel in this series. Stephenie Meyer should be proud of her imagination and what she has accomplished. But I really don’t like the films. The acting is sub-standard, the effects verging on laughable and a lot of key moments have been dropped. I hate to think what they are going to do with the subsequent films. A movie for anyone who enjoys Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner, aswell as anyone who wants to snigger at bad special effects. If you want my advice - read the books or watch ‘Vampires Suck’ instead. 

Rating: **

Vampires Suck

Certificate: 12A

Running Time: 82 minutes

Directors: Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer

The parody of a certain romantic vampire film that all the world is raving about. As far as parodies go, this is up with some of the best, alongside Scary Movie and Not Another Teen Movie. This film has all the traits of one of our usual guilty pleasures; bad acting, not-so-special effects and ultimately takes the biscuit. Quite a few laughs, but only a one-time watch as far as I’m concerned. So basically, rent, don’t buy. 

Rating: ***
