This doesn’t compare to other music films like Crazy Heart or Ray, but if you think of it as the music equivalent of what Whip It was to sports films then you will have a good time. Dakota and Kristen are almost flawless although twilight fans will be shocked to see them making out – with each other. Kudos for Joan Jett and her role as executive producer.

But while I left the cinema feeling as though I deserved a t-shirt that reads ‘I survived the Eclipse’, Twilight devotes were beaming from ear to ear as though they’ve just spent the last 130 minutes riding a Unicorn across a rainbow made of pure, unadulterated happiness. It’s “the best yet!” apparently. Perhaps it is. But that’s like saying ‘A’ is the best form of hepatitis.

Film critics are conceited by definition, but we’re not smug enough to think that the legions of Twilight fans could give two hoots about what we have to say about their beloved franchise. That much was clear when last year’s Twilight managed to pull an impressive $380 million at the global box office, despite the fact that a majority of critics (i.e. myself) considered it a droning, ineptly crafted teen-romance. It has therefore been in the best interest of this year’s sequel, New Moon, to change absolutely nothing. Once again, critics will mercilessly steak the film to death, but it will do little to stop box office records from crumbling.

For those who love their thrillers stylish and nail-biting, this film is a must-see. Although it’s now seven years since its release in 2002, many of the respective players in Panic Room have recently come to the fore, which means public interest in this film could well increase. Directed by David Fincher, recently celebrated for his visionary drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Panic Room is a claustrophobic, home-invasion thriller, focusing on the plight of Meg Altman, a recent and subsequently wealthy divorcee, portrayed by two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster, and her daughter Sarah Altman, played by Kristen Stewart, who has recently achieved renown – especially in teenage circles – for her turn as Bella in Twilight, the film spawn of Stephanie Meyer’s bestselling book franchise. On their first night in their new home, an extensive mansion on New York’s upper-east side, Meg and Sarah face an ordeal against three burglars who are intent on infiltrating the house’s panic room, in which the previous owner has hidden his fortune. The panic room is a safe-haven, specifically designed by security companies for use in the event of a burglary. The film’s tagline aptly puts to us the question: What do you do when your hiding place is their destination?

Vampires haven’t been given much treatment in Hollywood in recent times, but much of that would be due to the superhero invasion and the overwhelming anticipation for the release of the first film in the Twilight Saga. Stephenie Meyer’s books have topped the New York Times Bestsellers list, knocking off the likes of Harry Potter, and have gained quite a cult following from teenage girls among others. The story of Bella Swan and her Prince Charming, Edward Cullen, is an old-fashioned romance with an unconventional twist as she finds love while settling in a small town. The secret Edward hides of his true being is what sets their relationship apart and brings danger to the already klutzy Bella wherever they go.
