Galley Friend Mike Russell has some surprisingly nice–albeit measured–words for New Moon. At first, I was a little surprised, given the general disparagement of the movie, but on further reflection maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised: After all, it has a script not rushed out because of a looming strike and it’s directed by Chris Weitz.
By the by, if, in 2002, someone had told you that the director of the really spare and wonderful About a Boy would follow his smart little movie up with two giant, CGI-heavy, and poorly regarded kid/teen movies, would you have believed them? Just a reminder of what a funny place Hollywood is.
