Best movie of the Year 2008: Twilight.
Never has the casting for movie -- and it does not matter that this is a teen-vampire-romance flick -- been so perfect and by Jove Twiight has got it precision perfect. Robert Pattinson as the lead vampire is riveting on the screen every time he appears and his lady love Kristen Stewart is immensely watchable in Twilight with her depth of character.
Watching her, Kristen Stewart reminds me of a young Sigourney Weaver and Twilight makes it very clear that both Kristen and Robert are going to go places. It says a lot indeed about these two's star pulling power (and -- let's not be coy about it -- sex appeal!) that a vampire movie can open at the top of the box office so near around Christmas time!
The movie is simple enough to be a teen romance but the script, performances and direction combine in ways that are aces! Both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have that rare quality amongst movie stars: global appeal.
