* - One could very fairly wonder why on Earth I would have any interest in this kind of movie. And I’ll freely admit that the main reason I put “Twilight” and its sequel on my Netflix queue is that I really enjoy skewering the occasional piece of rubbish. This seemed like it would give me that opportunity, and it didn’t let me down there at all. To sum “Twilight” up in two words, I would call it this: cash grab. The book series that this is based on apparently has a rather rabid fan-base of young girls and gays, and it is easy to see why, as the superficiality present in the thought processes of all the characters is mind-boggling. This movie features horrendous dialogue, a stupid plot and stupider subplots, and loads of well-groomed young people in tight pants lusting after each other in vaguely menacing ways. It’s kind of a young vampire slut soap opera.
