Weekend Movie Forecast: Twilight, Were the World Mine

<p>The vampire romance novel series <em>The Twilight Saga</em> is now a major motion picture that's getting some mixed reviews from critics and <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/11/slideshow_of_twilight.html">preliminary OMG raves</a> from the target demographic. <a href="http://hollywood-elsewhere.com/2008/11/turnaround.php">Jeffrey Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere</a> is an unlikely champion, and even <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/11/slideshow_of_twilight.html">the Vulture crowd</a> seems enamored. And <a href="http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1860716,00.html?imw=Y">Richard Corliss at Time</a> writes, "Defiantly old-fashioned, the film wants viewers to believe not so much in vampires as in the existence of an anachronistic movie notion: a love that is convulsive and ennobling...<strong>It revives the precept that there's nothing more cinematic than a close-up of two beautiful people about to kiss."</strong></p>
