Twilight
When: Nov. 21
Who: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson; directed by Catherine Hardwicke
What: A high school girl named Bella (Stewart) falls in love with a really hot guy (Pattinson)--who just also happens to be a vampire. Unfortunately, this somewhat unorthodox and forbidden love brings them nothing but trouble--from family interference to a rival vampire clan looking for some new blood.
Kit Says: Movies about vampires rarely go out of style. If you don't count the pure horror of sucking blood (ike in the most recent 30 Days of Night), vampires are usually seductive, dangerous and deadly attractive. But Twilight, based on the widely popular novel by Stephenie Meyer, goes even a step further, adding in a Romeo and Juliet romance between two hot young leads--Stewart (Into the Wild) and Pattinson (Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire). Under the guidance of director Hardwicke, who seems to truly understand teen angst having helmed Thirteen, Twilight could be a gold mine with the teen set, who will see this movie over and over and over again.
