The "Twilight" film series follows the exploits of vampire, Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson and the object of his on and off screen affection, Kristen Stewart, who stars as "Bella."

"Bella" and "Edward Cullen"

The pasty Cullen, who because he is a vampire, is almost translucent to the point he makes Anglo-Saxon Brits look dark-skinned (I'm just teasing, you know I love you Britain), is hundreds of years old and masquerading as a 17-year-old high school student in Washington state, on the West Coast of America. He fights his feelings for human, Bella, but decides to date her anyway, which leads to trouble for them.

Robert Pattinson and girlfriend Kristen Stewart

The only part of this movie that was remotely interesting is the baseball game, due to its special effects. Outside of that, the film is very gloomy and filled with occult themes not suitable for its core audience, preteens and teens. The lead actors seem like nice people, but this movie is not recommended.
