Our rewatch of the Twilight movies continues with the second installment “New Moon”. Edward Cullen leaves Forks causing Bella Swan to go into a deep depression to seek the comfort and friendship of Jacob Black. We learn more about the Black’s and the Vampire royalty in Italy. Also, we see Jacob’s chiseled physique as its own character.
We are re-watching the Twilight movies for fun. I like the story and the mythos. Stories of vampires and werewolves have been with us for years. This movie put the town of Forks, Washington on the map. These movies were a big part of the day’s popular culture and made stars of author Stephenie Meyers and actors Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner. Remember Team Jacob and Team Edward, which side were you on?
It’s that time again to blow the hell out of the White House and other places. Also, Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum save the world. Watching “Independence Day” is a great 4th of July tradition.
You can stand tall without standing alone.

What is your favorite snack to nosh on while watching a movie or TV? This can include sports and other events.
I enjoy trail mix, Chex Party Mix, popcorn, and candy. Soft pretzels are good too.
What about you.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a dystopian action-adventure novel by the American author Suzanne Collins. It is a prequel to the original The Hunger Games trilogy, set 64 years before the first novel’s events.
The prequel movie to this book was terrific. It is thought-provoking, political, and full of familiar themes you found in the original movies. Tom Blyth is a terrific actor who takes you on a journey from a young Coriolanus Snow to the man who will eventually rule future Panem with an iron fist. This cast is rich in talent with Rachel Zegler, Peter Dinklage, Jason Schwartzman, and Academy Award winner Viola Davis. I look forward to future installments of this franchise.
Seeing this movie on the big screen is a good move. It’s worth the price of admission to your local motion picture house.
