The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1

I'll save you time and maybe even money by telling you to just skip this one, and wait for part two. Nothing happens in the movie! You wait for the action or even some plot, and it just never arrives! So Bella and Edward get married, she gets pregnant (yes, it is possible apparently) and then she has the baby. That's. About. It. They drag it out by saying that maybe the baby is evil and maybe it will kill Bella, but sorry to ruin it for you, it ends up being good like Bella, not bad like Edward. Whatever. I will admit that the last shot was cool (though predictable) and made me excited for the next one.

I don't think Jasper had a single line in the whole movie, he just sat there with that stupid grin on his face the whole time.

The Ides of March

The Ides of March looks into a political campaign, a Democratic primary, where Steven (Ryan Gosling) looks to secure his candidate's win (George Clooney) while carrying on a relationship with Molly (Evan Rachael Wood). It's more complicated than that, and also stars Paul Giamatti, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Marissa Tomeii.

Politics isn't really my thing. I find it difficult to follow, and it just doesn't really interest me. I struggled to turn this movie back on to watch the second half while the new Twilight movie was calling for me to watch it instead. A persevered, and finished this one. And it wasn't bad, if you can make it through all the political stuff, this movie poses some really interesting questions about morality. We should know something isn't quite right with Steven's ideals when he still wants Morris (Clooney) to win, even after he knows something immoral about him. Maybe it was never about Morris winning.
