The vampire romance novel series The Twilight Saga is now a major motion picture that's getting some mixed reviews from critics and preliminary OMG raves from the target demographic. Jeffrey Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere is an unlikely champion, and even the Vulture crowd seems enamored. And Richard Corliss at Time writes, "Defiantly old-fashioned, the film wants viewers to believe not so much in vampires as in the existence of an anachronistic movie notion: a love that is convulsive and ennobling...It revives the precept that there's nothing more cinematic than a close-up of two beautiful people about to kiss." — Gothamist
