so, so good

I didn't go see the midnight showing on opening night, but I just couldn't let the first weekend that New Moon was out in theaters go by without sneaking in to a showing.

And I SO wasn't disappointed.

Damn. It was good. I laughed and I cried.

It rivaled the book (and that's hard to do). Bella wasn't nearly as annoying (I never wanted to shake her), and director Chris Weitz captured so much of the emotion. Bravo all around.

I went with my sister Christine. She snagged us tickets ahead of time at a Movie Tavern in Houston. So we enjoyed a pitcher of cold beer and some munchies while we watched -- that never hurts.

I can't wait to see it again.
