‘Twilight: Eclipse’ and ‘Cyrus’ reviews on Trashwire

Because I’m so not on the grind with this blog, I forgot to post links to my latest Trashwire reviews. I had the chance to write about two very different films, one about a clingy teenager trying to get intimate with her vampire boyfriend, the other about a clingy son trying to battle his mom’s boyfriend. The Twilight: Eclipse review was also published on KDVR.com, where a bunch of Twi-hards proceeded to tell me I was an idiot because I wasn’t comparably intrigued by the epic battle of Edward vs Jacob. I’ve read the books and seen the movies and, like I say in the review, I get the phenomenon. I just like True Blood and Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse Series better.

When I want to watch sexy vampires and werewolves, I choose True Blood, but if I was ten years younger, I’d be swooning over the sparkly vampires and ab-tastic werewolves in the Twilight movies. If the first film and its sequel New Moon were burgeoning with sexual undertones masquerading as tween-friendly melodrama, then Eclipse is practically porn.

Both Jonah Hill and John C. Reilly are more recently known for broader comedies like Step Brothers or Superbad, but both prove they can hold their own with quirky indie fare as they battle for the attention of Marisa Tomei in Cyrus.
