I can barely wait for Twilight Eclipse! I'm so infatuated with Taylor Lautner, lol. I still find that the first film was the best, but New Moon certainly wins in eye candy lol I adore Twilight!

Much like if Jessie had been asked by a teacher to write an essay on How To Cross A Dark and Cluttered Lounge Room Without Stumbling, and it just so happened that this was Jessie's least studied yet most addictive hobby. Anyway, carry on folks. It could just be my over developed sense of entertainment, or maybe my ability to write amazingly well, but I feel that this review lacks life.

Critics - of any age - do not, indeed could not, write 'representative' reviews. They just express their own views.

I don't disagree with the idea to get the target audience to review the film but to claim this representative of all teenagers rather than a very specific female age group is misleading.

And it's sweet in every way. And this is one off from LWL, so no worries... Like, no one here is suggesting to Von Trier or Jarmush fans to go to see New Moon...

Also I think it's absolutely brilliant that LWL have got a 14 year old girl to review a film (and what a great review!). That's exactly why I love this magazine because I'm never sure what's gonna hit me next. I love it! Some people just need to not be loosen up a little and enjoy things for what they are!!!

It's probably a bit condescending for LWL to imply that only 14 yr olds can comment adequately on the Twilight series. By contrast, Mark Kermode gave New Moon a genuinely sparkling review and he's a proper film critic!

I went along to see the film on Friday, and her thoughts were definitely echoed with the scores of teenage girls in the cinema - with clapping, screaming and excitement every time Edward or Jacob appeared on screen, which was rather funny! I haven't read the books, but my friends who have said the film reproduced it well, and I found the movie very entertaining. Ok, it's not a modern masterpiece - the script was quite wooden at times, and Edward and Bella's 'intense' looks at each other often just came off as a bit constipated...but I can totally see why it has born such a following. Getting someone from the proper target audience to review this really gives a good insight to that. I'm really impressed with Jessie's review – a really good write up!
