The film keeping them all up way past their bedtimes?</p>
<p>New Moon, the latest installment in the Twilight saga.<img title="More..." src="http://edinburghnapiernews.wordpress.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" /><!--more--></p>
<p>The dark and daring sequel combines love, terror, hate, revenge… and a reluctant vegetarian vampire. We pick up the action with Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) in the middle of a rather unconventional love story.</p>
<p>She’s a girl, he’s the veggie vampire. When he leaves to protect her, local boy Jacob Black (TaylorLautner) befriends Bella, and soon reveals that he too isn’t quite what he seems.</p>
<p>The young cast have improved significantly, and a quality performance from Michael Sheen, as Aro from vampire royalty the Volturi, adds to the film, although he was somewhat under-used compared with the young and inexperienced stars.</p>
<p>Sheen will be back, and more performances like his can only help improve the franchise.</p>
<p>Overall <a href="http://www.twilightthemovie.com">New Moon </a>improves on the first installment, which at times lacked convincing special effects, or convincing acting. A twenty-first century take on the vampire genre, it’s a modern film for modern times.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://cinemagia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lua_nova.jpg" alt="" title="__lua_nova" width="120" class="alignright size-full wp-image-15049" />Logo no início da exibição, &#8220;Lua Nova&#8221; dá sinais que pode ser uma continuação à altura de seu antecessor, &#8220;Crepúsculo&#8221;: além das cenas iniciais remeterem ao mesmo clima e contexto do primeiro filme da saga, há também, logo de cara, referências à literatura, que pontuaram o longa anterior e as quais a resenha de Cinema é Magia sobre &#8220;Crepúsculo&#8221; tanto elogiou (relembre a resenha de Crepúsculo <a href="http://cinemagia.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/resenhas-crepusculo/">clicando aqui</a>). Mas fica só na promessa: infelizmente, logo o filme se transforma num grande marasmo que nem as transformações de Jacob nem os dramas pessoais de Bella conseguem suplantar. O filme definitivamente só cresce, e termina bem por conta disso, quando a trama se amplia e chega à Itália, com direito a clima de suspense e ótimas cenas da festa de São Marcos e do interior de belas edificações italianas. </p>
<p>Curiosamente, a razão desta melhora é de certa forma diferente do que acontecia com &#8220;Crepúsculo&#8221;. Se no filme anterior Robert Pattinson tinha uma atuação tão boa quanto discreta enquanto Kristen Stewart roubava o filme, desta vez os papéis se inverteram: apesar do foco estar todo em Kristen Stewart, que tem uma atuação menos impactante e em alguns momentos limitadamente constrangedora, é Robert Pattinson, que fica ausente em boa parte do filme, quem de fato rouba todas as cenas das quais participa. Edward salva o filme, pelo menos durante o tempo em que está na frente das câmeras.</p>
<p><!--more [Leia a resenha completa do Cinema é Magia clicando aqui] -->Portanto, mesmo a exuberância física de Taylor Laurent &#8212; que gera suspiros e gritinhos na plateia feminina da sala escura durante a exibição &#8212; e o clima que rola entre Jacob e Bella não são capazes de animar todo o período em que o vampiro protagonista está fora de cena: Robert Pattinson é um dos dois grandes nomes de &#8220;Lua Nova&#8221;. O outro destaque é a excelente participação de Michael Sheen como Aro: grande ator, este sim consegue, de fato e num papel coadjuvante, a interpretação mais marcante do filme. Mas não posso deixar de comentar os (pouquíssimos) minutos de Dakota Fanning: em poucas falas e muitas expressões que valem mil palavras, bota no bolso Kristen Stewart, fácil fácil. Aos 15 anos mas desde sempre, uma grande atriz, com uma carreira [tão] enorme [quanto passível de percalços, torça para que não] pela frente.</p>
<p>De resto, com direito a 2 segundos de Cristo Redentor e algumas maquiagens constrangedoras (repare a falta de capricho na diferença entre cor de rosto e cor de pescoço, mesmo nos que não são vampiros mas especialmente nestes), vale a menção à ótima trilha sonora e aos caprichados efeitos especiais em um filme que fica aquém do primeiro episódio mas que deixa um ótimo gancho para o seguinte. Quem leu o livro como sempre deve encontrar várias cenas faltando, natural em qualquer adaptação, mas certamente os fãs devem gostar bastante do que vai assistir. Já eu espero que o terceiro filme da saga, &#8220;Eclipse&#8221;, volte ao nível de qualidade do primeiro.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://thepasswordisswordfish.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/newmoon1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>New Moon, the meandering new entry in the Twilight series directed by Chris Weitz, continues the same theme of melodramatic teen passion/symbolism for abstinence. This time, however, we get more than two hours of it, and the basic &#8220;plot&#8221; of lonely Bella meets a hot guy who it turns out is secretly a monster while other dangerous vampires put her in danger just seems like a re-hash this time around. The budget is bigger and the effects far more lavish, but the dialogue is also more laughable and the logic behind events harder to understand. While trying to place emphasis on a Twilight sequel is ignoring the fact that the overwhelming majority of the audience is only going to fantasize about rubbing Taylor Lautner&#8217;s abs, I couldn&#8217;t help but notice the lion&#8217;s share of folks sitting with me laughing at every attempt at earnest passionate dialogue. Could this be the first hit film that people <em>know</em> going in is going to be bad?</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>We pick up where we left off&#8230; in Forks, Washington, with Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) deeply in love and talking about it often. Bella wants Edward to bite her and make her a vampire, so she can be close to him forever. However, Edward thinks to do that would be to take away her precious soul. (Soul is the symbolic word for virginity in these films.) When an accident causes one of the Cullen clan to attack Bella, Edward decides in order to protect her, he must leave her forever. Enter Jacob (Taylor Lautner), who is the prototype of the &#8220;best male friend,&#8221; except that he&#8217;s a total hunk&#8211; and he&#8217;s a werewolf. It takes Bella way longer to figure this out than it takes us in the audience. She&#8217;s let in on the secret surprisingly easily, and then the natural conflict is clear. Will Edward come back for Bella? Will Bella ever give Jacob a chance? Who will win in the epic werewolf-vampire fight? And will Jacob ever wear a shirt again?</p>
<p><img src="http://thepasswordisswordfish.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/newmoon2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t leave me hateful comments for my snide remarks regarding the quality of this sequel&#8211; as I stated in my Twilight essay, I thought that the first film was decent enough, and that it gets a rawl deal in terms of the thrashing it receives at the hands of those who hate the series, or Pattinson, or Stewart, or all of the above. This film does have some noteworthy improvements over the first. The effects are vastly superior&#8230; not even in the same ballpark, really. When Jacob jumps into the air and phases into a werewolf in mid-jump, it immediately destroys even the best effects in the last film. The film is also shot with more confidence; while it loses the right-in-the-thick-of-it indie feel that Catherine Hardwicke gave the first film, Chris Weitz shoots this film like an epic action romance, the way it wants to be shot. The score is dramatic, the music indie and emo, and the color palette far more fleshed out.</p>
<p>Also, this film gives opportunities for a few actors to shine. Taylor Lautner is a charming young actor who gives a usually gloomy series some much-needed warmth. He is also in possession of ten to twelve abdominal muscles that would merit a Best Supporting Actor nomination if anyone from this film would. Michael Welch provides humor as Mike, the goofball average joe friend at school who crushes on Bella and clearly stands zero chance (forget Team Edward and Team Jacob&#8211; I&#8217;m firmly on Team Mike). Billy Burke gets several warm moments as Charlie, Bella&#8217;s father, who doesn&#8217;t understand Bella but at least tries hard. Ashley Greene is peppy as Edward&#8217;s psychic sister Alice, and she provides necessary eye candy for any guy dragged by his girlfriend to see these films. Dakota Fanning appears in a &#8220;what is she doing here?&#8221; cameo as a powerful vampire who has the ability to torture people&#8230; or something&#8211; her intensity seems far less forced than many of the other vampiric actors. Finally, there&#8217;s Michael Sheen, who chews scenery (and necks) with great gusto as Aro, the leader of the Volturi, a group of ancient vampires in Italy who&#8230; well, who they are isn&#8217;t really important, just know that they put Edward and Bella in danger. His hammy performance showed me what kind of film this might have been with more capable actors, one where the intensity is fun to watch and the actors seem to be enjoying themselves and the great powerful passion they throw themselves headfirst into.</p>
<p><img src="http://thepasswordisswordfish.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/newmoon3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Unfortunately, many of the problems from the first film linger into the second. Pattinson&#8217;s intensity as Edward seems put on and bordering on self-indulgent. He takes his part so seriously that it forces teen girls to stifle giggles at the wooden dialogue he is forced to deliver. Stewart shows a little more life this time around, but she is now stuck with a great dilemma&#8211; the audience will clearly find Jacob the more reasonable choice of mate, yet she doesn&#8217;t give him the time of the day. In fact, she refuses to even give him one shot. Why? I know, I know, Team Edward followers will tell me how deep their love is, and that&#8217;s the reason why she can never be with anyone else. The problem is that the clunky script doesn&#8217;t give them any real connection of love, other than moany angsty one-liners. Jacob makes her smile, makes her laugh, and gets her out of the house. Edward never does those things and threatens to take her eternal soul. If Edward was portrayed by a more charming, less moody actor, perhaps this duel would seem more even-handed. Also, the plot mopes along like a raincloud. Aside from Bella experiencing adrenalin rushes to see Edward (in a misty cloud effect that also provokes chuckles nearly every time), there&#8217;s very little true action to speak of for a very long stretch of film. When the format is essentially the same as the first, repetition of the first film&#8217;s structure is not a good thing at all.</p>
<p>Of course, the set up for the sequel is a doozy. *SLIGHT SPOILER AHEAD* Edward says he&#8217;ll only bite her if she agrees to marry him. (Still think the pro-abstinence, bloodlust-as-real-lust metaphor is hokum?) And Edward and Jacob have the beginnings of what I pray will be an epic showdown. Yet cruel tease that the film is (and the one before it), it saves the most fascinating moments for the last five minutes. Naturally, with this movie making serious bank, it comes as no surprise that this film should be seen if only to keep your fingers on the pulse of popular culture. However, and forgive me since I haven&#8217;t read the books, if the plot doesn&#8217;t pick up for the third film, it will be increasingly difficult for me to motivate myself to donate another two plus hours of my life solely for the purpose of keeping up with the times. On the plus side, it won&#8217;t take very much for it to eclipse this entry.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ieri sera sono andata a vedere &#8220;<strong>New Moon</strong>&#8220;, il secondo capitolo della saga di <strong>Twilight </strong>che ha per protagonisti Edward il vampiro buono, Bella e la loro struggente storia d&#8217;amore, oltre al terzo incomodo il licantropo Jacob. Questo post non è centrato sulla recensione del film, anche se approfitto per dire qualche parola in proposito.</p>
<p>Non avevo grandi aspettative sul film dopo che, in questi giorni, avevo letto pessimi commenti e <a href="http://lary1984.wordpress.com/2008/12/05/twilight-the-movie-is-coming/">non ero rimasta entusiasmata nemmeno dal capitolo uno della saga</a>. Anche in questo secondo lavoro la musica è quasi inesistente e comunque poco azzeccata, le recitazioni sono al limite dell&#8217;inguardabile e tutta la sceneggiatura è sdocinata all&#8217;estremo. Le ambientazioni però sono ben costruite e anche il contorno magico e emozionale. Naturalmente contavo molto sulla presenza dei <strong>cattivi </strong>e sulla loro interpretazione: i cattivi mi attraggono e per me diventano fondamentali per la buona riuscita di un film. Così eccoci in Italia, alla presenza dei <strong>Volturi</strong>, ed ecco che entra in scena <strong>Aro</strong>&#8230; sorpresa! E&#8217; <strong>Michael Sheen</strong>!!!</p>
<p>Dove l&#8217;avevo già incontrato? Facile, in <a href="http://lary1984.wordpress.com/2009/02/28/underworld-un-mondo-dark-gotico-da-scoprire/">Underworld &#8211; La ribellione dei Lycans</a>! Devo dire che trovo questo attore assolutamente perfetto per i ruoli da vampiro o licantropo, in cui si è ben destreggiato finora, ora cercherò di vederlo anche nelle vesti più serie e reali di altri personaggi che ha interpretato e vedremo se sarà all&#8217;altezza anche di questi. Intanto è entrato di prepotenza nella classifica dei miei attori preferiti. Spero che molte persone imparino a conoscerlo e ad apprezzare il suo stile.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Cast for New Moon</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Pattinson" target="_blank">Robert Pattinson</a> as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Cullen" target="_blank">Edward Cullen</a>. Quite frankly I was kinda taken aback when his name was announced to depict the dreamy Edward Cullen. Most likely because the accompanying picture wasn&#8217;t the most flattering. I was resolved on not watching the movie in the cinemas. However after the DVD came out, a friend thought it a good idea to check it out, so 3 of us girls were crouched around the TV watching this and were completely taken by surprise when Rob seemed to fit so snugly into portraying this &#8216;good-vampire&#8217;. All ill-formed misconceptions vanished upon watching the movie. Although his acting skills were a bit raw, I thought it suited the character really well. As Edward was supposed to be born in 1901 it was only natural that his speech would differ from normal 21st century humans. All in all a very good pick.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristen_Stewart" target="_blank">Kristen Stewart</a> as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bella_Swan" target="_blank">Bella Swan</a>. Kristen&#8217;s depiction of Bella was also really good. The awkward silences in between were so characteristic of Bella. I really wasn&#8217;t put out by the selection of Kristen maybe because the only character that I really cared about was Edward&#8217;s. Sorry Kristen but true nonetheless. The stuttering incomprehensible freaked out Bella was neatly done.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Lautner" target="_blank">Taylor Lautner</a> as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Black" target="_blank">Jacob Black</a>. This was a tough one. I wasn&#8217;t really that intent on news about the movies until about a month ago. I was really surprised to see Taylor buffed up. I didn&#8217;t think he would continue to portray Jacob Black. Shocked was an understatement. From seeing his boyish frame in Twilight to the jaw-dropping physique he currently possesses it was quite a transformation to behold. I can&#8217;t even begin to imagine the amount of determination and hard work put in to achieve that. It definitely helps that he is still 17 and growing. Fact is he definitely held his own in this movie being one of the main characters. Kudos mate. And most importantly the fan base he has garnered in such a short span of time is definitely astounding.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I will go through a couple of characters which seem interesting to me, and I might add more later.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Facinelli" target="_blank">Peter Facinelli</a> as Dr. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlisle_Cullen#Carlisle_Cullen" target="_blank">Carlisle Cullen</a>. He really looks really awesome. And so does not look like he is 35 and has 3 kids. Okay sorry, got derailed a little bit there. But I do think that his depiction of Carlisle was good in Twilight and I would say the same for New Moon. His representation of the gentle care giving Carlisle was perfect. Soothing words coming from his mouth were that of a father talking to a son. Nicely done. However, the one thing I didn&#8217;t like was the &#8220;Voting&#8221; scene where his collar wasn&#8217;t neatly tucked and he looked a bit buff in that scene. Oh still, he&#8217;s still cute. Although I like him better with dark hair.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Burke_%28actor%29" target="_blank">Billy Burke</a> as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Swan_%28Twilight%29#Charlie_Swan" target="_blank">Charlie Swan</a>. Billy was perfect for the role of Charlie. His loving affection for his daughter shone through although they shared a liking for quiet cohabitation. It&#8217;s what most dad&#8217;s do. It just made Charlie that much more believable. In New Moon Charlie acted as a lever to lighten up the tense atmosphere constantly hovering over Bella. His twitch of intuition sparked a lot of laughter in the cinema. It was a nice change.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Meraz" target="_blank">Alex Meraz</a> as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Twilight_characters#Paul" target="_blank">Paul</a> of the wolf pack. He was the only one in the movie that mirrored the Paul in my head. His volatile short temperedness was awesome. The part where he got angry and burst into a werewolf was really well done. There was even spittle flying through his gritted teeth. Applaud-able effort.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Sheen" target="_blank">Michael Sheen</a> as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aro_%28Twilight%29#The_Volturi" target="_blank">Aro</a>. I really really like Michael Sheen. Out of the Volturi only two were cut-and-paste-copies of the mental image I painted while reading the books. And one of them was Sheen. His approach was mind blowing. The way his eyes glint in anticipation, his thoughts were utterly transparent through those scary red eyes. Actors who transpose emotions through their eyes are the true masters. He was delightfully scary.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakota_Fanning" target="_blank">Dakota Fanning</a> as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aro_%28Twilight%29#The_Volturi" target="_blank">Jane</a>. Dakota has definitely upped her game in this movie. All along she has been playing this young child star with a cute smile, but Jane was a huge change. Again her eyes told the story. The demeanor in which she held herself was baffling. Her angelic smile so beautiful, and yet her eyes told of the menace brewing in within her. How does a 15 year old learn the tricks of the trade? Awe is the word.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Greene" target="_blank">Ashley Greene</a> as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Twilight_characters#Alice_Cullen" target="_blank">Alice Cullen</a>. Ashley was also a controversial choice mainly due to her height as Stephenie Meyer depicts Alice as a pixie-like character. However I really love the Alice Ashley played. I put this in because I think Ashley is drop dead gorgeous. Beautiful beautiful. Although her Italy-trip-attire in New Moon was a bit under par. But still, elegant nonetheless.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Igår såg jag som sagt New Moon och den var faktiskt ganska bra! Inte ur en filmkritikers ögon men filmen var spännande. Och man ställs ju inför ett svårt val, är man på Edwards sida eller på Jacobs?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Edward vs Jacob" src="http://www.shockya.com/news/wp-content/uploads/edward_vs_jacob_new_moon_wallpaper.jpg" alt="" width="414" height="401" /></p>
<p><strong>Nu vill jag börja med att varna för spoilers! Läs inte det nedanför om du inte har sett eller läst andra filmen/boken!</strong></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Jag är inte på någons sida. Efter att Bella besökte de äldsta vampyrerna var allt så självklart! Eftersom hon är så speciell och inte kan bli påverkad av de olika krafterna alla vampyrer har skulle hon bli den ultimata vampyren! Hon skulle kunna leda vampyrsamfundet och det skulle bli sjukt spännande. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Aro " src="http://www.shockya.com/news/wp-content/uploads/aro_caius_alec_volturi_new_moon_twilight.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Aro skulle kunna lära henne latin och de skulle styra över hela vampyrvärlden. Aro och hans kumpaner var lätt coolast i hela filmen, de satt där och var jätte gamla och prata latin. Kan det bli coolare?!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I was looking up <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Cullen">Edward Cullen</a> on Wikipedia and I saw that it said that Edward was a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byronic_hero">Byronic hero</a>.  Because of that, I clicked on the link that explained what a Byronic hero was.  Anyway, as I was reading the characteristics, it did sounds like Edward  As I continued down the website, it mentioned that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lestat_de_Lioncourt">Lestat</a> from the Vampire Chronicles and the Phantom from the <em>Phantom of the Opera</em> were Byronic heros as well, but I digress with the Phantom.  That made me think about how much Lestat and Edward were alike in the sense that they are both Byronic heros.  I think that&#8217;s the reason why I don&#8217;t like either character.  I mean, it&#8217;s not that I hate them, but it&#8217;s just that they&#8217;re not my favorites characters from their respective series.  Anyway, I think that&#8217;s the reason why I don&#8217;t like Lestat and Edward is the fact that they&#8217;re Byronic heros.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In my search for any Lestat vs. Edward stuff, I found quite a few pictures that made fun of Edward and the Twilight series or making fun of the fact the Twilight series &#8220;outshines&#8221; the Vampire Chronicles.  The one that I found to be the most funny was the one where it showed Edward and Bella together in the first box, and the following three boxes showing Louis, Lestat, and Armand telling their opinions on the series.  I found that Lestat&#8217;s and Armand&#8217;s reactions to be the most funny.  Their reactions were classic Lestat and Armand.  Anyway, the next one that I thought was funny was the one where Lestat as picking on Edward.  I just found those funny.  By the way, you can find the originals at this <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/">site</a>.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Review By Meghan Brown<a rel="attachment wp-att-12895" href="http://edinburghnapiernews.com/2009/11/20/twilight-bites-back-new-moon-review/new-moon-posters-31-3/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-12895" title="new-moon-posters-3[1]" src="http://edinburghnapiernews.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/new-moon-posters-312.jpg?w=187" alt="" width="187" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>It was a ridiculous time to be watching a film, but it didn’t stop hundreds of screaming teenage girls packing Vue Cinema at the Edinburgh’s Omni Centre at midnight last night. The film keeping them all up way past their bedtimes?</p>
<p>New Moon, the latest installment in the Twilight saga.<!--more--></p>
<p>The dark and daring sequel combines love, terror, hate, revenge… and a reluctant vegetarian vampire. We pick up the action with Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) in the middle of a rather unconventional love story.</p>
<p>She’s a girl, he’s the veggie vampire. When he leaves to protect her, local boy Jacob befriends Bella, and soon reveals that he too isn’t quite what he seems.</p>
<p>The young cast have improved significantly, and a quality performance from Michael Sheen, as Aro from vampire royalty the Volturi, adds to the film, although he was somewhat under-used compared with the young and inexperienced stars.</p>
<p>Sheen will be back, and more performances like his can only help improve the franchise.</p>
<p>Overall New Moon improves on the first installment, which at times lacked convincing special effects, or convincing acting. A twenty-first century take on the vampire genre, it’s a modern film for modern times.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I was bored recently and was on my computer  I don&#8217;t know why but I typed Lestat vs. Edward into Google to see what I would get.  Anyway, a lot of stuff that popped up were drawings of people making fun of Edward through Lestat&#8217;s point of view, and videos and articles asking who would win in a no-holds bar fight.  I immediately thought that Lestat would definitely win.  I say that because, after looking up their powers as a refresher, while <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Cullen">Edward</a> has super strength, super speed, and can read minds, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lestat_de_Lioncourt">Lestat</a> can do or has all of that, plus so much more.  Lestat also has pyrokinesis, the ability to fly, and he&#8217;s telekinetic.  Plus, he killed an entire wolf pack by himself, albeit with the help of his two mastiff dogs.  Anyway, I really think that Lestat would definitely win the fight against Edward, and that&#8217;s assuming Lestat doesn&#8217;t fall in love with Edward first, which I doubt would actually happen, and that Lestat doesn&#8217;t hurt Bella.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I finished reading Eclipse about a month, maybe a month and a half ago.  The thing that I found most funny was in chapter 18 when Jacob, when he was in wolf form, came up to Bella and licked her.  In that same general area, I also liked when Jacob, again in wolf form, looked like he was smiling.  I think the reason why I liked those two parts was because it&#8217;s typical of Jacob to be happy-go-lucky.  Anyway, I just found those two parts to be funny.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Quando tive a ideia de fazer esse especial, fiquei ansioso especialmente para escrever dois posts. O primeiro claro é a crítica de <strong>Lua Nova</strong>, que se tudo der certo será publicada no dia 22 de novembro. O segundo é o post de hoje, falando sobre o <strong>Clã Volturi</strong>, sou fã dos personagens e adoro a participação deles em Lua Nova.</p>
<p>Abaixo você lê um perfil completo de cada intérprete do Clã, com curiosidades, opiniões dos atores sobre os personagens e muitos outros detalhes.</p>
<p><strong>Michael Sheen (Aro) </strong></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3370" title="michaelsheenaro" src="http://tvcinemaemusica.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/michaelsheenaro.jpg?w=225" alt="michaelsheenaro" width="225" height="300" />Quem diria que Michael Sheen que ficou famoso no papel de lobisomem nos filmes da franquia Anjos da Noite, acabaria ganhando o importantíssimo papel de Aro. O ator que é considerado um dos melhores atualmente e que foi indicado ao Oscar pelo filme &#8220;Frost/ Nixon&#8221;, alias sua atuação no filme é brilhante. Inicialmente o ator não queria o papel, tanto que o diretor de Lua Nova, Chris Weitz teve que insistir muito, até que finalmente ele aceitou o papel.</p>
<p>A razão principal dele ter aceitado o papel foi por causa de sua filha, Lily de 10 anos, segundo o próprio a menina é obsessiva pela Saga Crepúsculo. Mas ele só contou para ela que tinha conseguido o papel somente quando tinha certeza, tudo isso para não decepcionar a menina e agora vem a parte mais fofa, ela chorou ao saber que seu pai tinha conseguido o papel.</p>
<p>Sheen leu os dois primeiros livros e entendeu a razão de tantas pessoas se sentirem ligadas a história do livro, para o ator o segundo livro capta a desolação de perder o seu  primeiro amor e Stephenie Meyer conseguiu fazer isso perfeitamente, inclusive ele próprio já passou por uma decepção como a de Bella com Edward.</p>
<p>O ator ainda brinca sobre agora ter que interpretar um vampiro, antes quando ele fazia um lobisomem não precisava se preocupar com suas roupas ou com qualquer sujeira. Mas agora tem que ficar perfeito e muito limpo e tomar o máximo de cuidado para não sujar as roupas pretas que o seu personagem usa.</p>
<p>Sobre seu personagem Sheen diz que Aro na superfície é muito charmoso e simpático, mas por dentro é um assassino psicopata e que ele adorou brincar com essa ideia enquanto estava criando o personagem. Falando ainda na criação do personagem, Sheen deu uma voz gentil e suave para o personagem, mas o ator assume que não gosta muito da maquiagem e dos  apetrechos do seu personagem, como a peruca, lentes de contanto, mas pelo resultado final tudo valeu a pena.</p>
<p><strong>Dakota Fanning (Jane)</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3373" title="jane1" src="http://tvcinemaemusica.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jane1.jpg?w=200" alt="jane1" width="200" height="300" />Pode parecer difícil de acreditar, mas Dakota Fanning não fez teste nenhum para o papel de Jane, a atriz que faz sucesso desde pequena, foi escolhida pela equipe de Lua Nova, simplesmente porque acreditavam que ela era a pessoa certa para o papel. Pelo trailer e pelas fotos a escolha não poderia ter sido melhor, Fanning faz sucesso desde criança, com atuações fortes e marcantes e com certeza vai repetir o sucesso em Lua Nova.</p>
<p>Com apenas 15 anos Dakota já fez mais de 20 filmes, com destaque para o filme Chamas da Vingança, onde contracenou com Denzel Washington e deu um show. Alguns críticos dizem que ela começou a carreira muito cedo e que isso pode prejudicar o futuro dela, mas a verdade é que diferentemente do que aconteceu com outras jovens atrizes, Dakota a cada novo trabalho conquista ainda mais o público.</p>
<p><strong>Christopher Heyerdahl (Marcus) </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong></strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3374" title="christopherheyerdahlmarcus" src="http://tvcinemaemusica.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/christopherheyerdahlmarcus.jpg?w=225" alt="christopherheyerdahlmarcus" width="225" height="300" />Quando li que Heyerdahl foi escolhido para o papel de Marcus, assumo que fiquei arrepiado, o experiente ator canadense tem um rosto forte e que para alguns até pode parecer de uma pessoa má. Christopher já fez vários papéis estranhos, já foi um demônio, um fantasma e até o Pé Grande, seu papel mais famoso foi em Sanctuary.</p>
<p>Christopher como seu colega de elenco Michael Sheen, aceitou o papel por causa de um familiar, no caso dele foi sua sobrinha, que também é viciada na saga, o ator diz que é incrível como os livros de Meyer conseguem afetar tantas meninas adolescentes.</p>
<p>O ator diz que interpretar Marcus é ótimo, um vampiro de 3 mil anos, Christopher revelou que a emoção principal do personagem é que ele não queria estar no Clã, mas não tem como sair e se sente usado, por ter que usar seus poderes para o bem dos Volturi. Seu personagem acorda quando encontra com o amor entre Bella e Edward, mas diz que ao mesmo tempo o personagem tem ciúmes do casal.</p>
<p>Sobre a importante participação do seu personagem no último livro da saga, o ator diz que não leu o livro ainda e está se preparando somente para o terceiro filme, Eclipse.<br />
<strong><br />
Jamie Campbell Bower (Caius) </strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3375" title="jamiecampbellbowercaius" src="http://tvcinemaemusica.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jamiecampbellbowercaius.jpg?w=225" alt="jamiecampbellbowercaius" width="225" height="300" />Jamie Campbell Bower fez originalmente o teste para o papel de Edward, mas a produção do filme achou que o ator deveria ficar com o papel de Felix. Duas semanas depois o ator recebe uma grande notícia, ele recebeu uma ligação dizendo que o papel dele serie o de Caius, muito mais importante na trama.</p>
<p>Com 20 anos, Campbell começou a ficar conhecido recentemente, depois de ter trabalhado no filme Sweeney Todd ao lado de Johnny Deep, logo depois participou de outro filme, RockNRolla. Como virou costume no elenco da Saga Crepúsculo, o ator só percebeu a importância do seu personagem depois de ler o livro.</p>
<p>A grande diferença de Jamie Campbell Bower para o restante do elenco é que ele estará em outra grande franquia, o ator também faz parte do próximo filme do bruxinho Harry Potter, lembrando ainda mais sua história com a de Robert Pattison.</p>
<p>Campbell contou uma curiosidade sobre o sotaque do Clã Volturi, todos falam inglês, mas com o jeito e sotaque de 2.000 mil anos atrás, por tanto bem diferente do inglês falado atualmente. Sobre a sua cena predileta, o ator revelou que existe uma cena em que o Clã tortura um homem e o Caius fica quieto, só sorrindo e gostando do que está contencendo, terrível!<br />
<strong><br />
Cameron Bright (Alec)</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3376" title="cameronbrightalec" src="http://tvcinemaemusica.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cameronbrightalec.jpg?w=185" alt="cameronbrightalec" width="185" height="300" />O irmão gêmeo de Jane, tem também uma história parecida com a intérprete da personagem, Dakota Fanning, Cameron também começou a carreira cedo e tem 16 anos, o ator confessa que no começo não quis nem assistir ao primeiro filme, já que todos os seus amigos diziam ser um filme para mulherzinha. A verdade é que ele gostou muito de Crepúsculo e confessa que um amigo ajudou ele a pesquisar e entender seu personagem.</p>
<p>Bright ficou conhecido por interpretar personagens estranhos desde pequeno, fez um clone sinistro no filme &#8220;O Enviado&#8221; com Robert De Niro, fez a encarnação do marido falecido de uma vúva em Birth ao lado de Nicole Kidman e recentemente fez um mutante capaz de tirar os poderes de outros mutantes em X-Men 3. A única coisa que Bright não gostou em Lua Nova, é que ele não foi para Itália com o resto do Clã, sendo o único que ficou de fora da viagem.</p>
<p>Sobre seu personagem Alec, o ator disse que ele funciona como um influenciador do mal, que fica atrás de todos e fica só olhando o que está acontecendo e diz que é muito divertido interpretar um personagem que é capaz de manipular as pessoas.</p>

<strong><br />
Daniel Cudmore (Felix)</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3377" title="Daniel_Cudmorefelix" src="http://tvcinemaemusica.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/daniel_cudmorefelix.jpg?w=189" alt="Daniel_Cudmorefelix" width="189" height="300" />De X-Men a membro da guarda dos Volturi, o ator Daniel Cudmore ficou conhecido pelo papel de Colossus em X-Men 2 e 3, claro que ele não conseguiria nenhum dos papéis se não fosse graças aos seus 2.03 metros de altura. Para variar Cudmore fez o teste para outro personagem, mas acabou sendo escolhido para o papel de Felix, personagem que ele não conhecida até então.</p>
<p>Antes das gravações de Lua Nova, Cudmore passou um tempo em Vancouver, local conhecido pelo seu forte inverno, por causa disso, não teve que usar muita maquiagem, já que sua pele, segundo próprio, estava exageradamente branca. Cudmore ficou amigo de Charlie Bewley, intéprete de Demetri, fiel companheiro de Felix em Lua Nova.</p>
<p>Cudmore diz que Felix e Demetri, fazem o estilo de &#8220;policial bom e policial malvado&#8221;, mas com a diferença que no final sempre um vampiro é despedaçado. O ator diz que a força de seu personagem vem da inveja de não ter poderes como os outros e que ele sente uma forte inveja de Edward e de Aro.</p>
<p>Uma curiosidade de Cudmore, é que se ele pudesse interpretar outro personagem, ele gostaria de ser um dos lobos e que entre Edward e Jacob, ele torce para o lobisomen.</p>
<p><strong>Charlie Bewley (Demetri)</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3378" title="newmoon_volturi-535x356" src="http://tvcinemaemusica.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/newmoon_volturi-535x356.jpg?w=300" alt="newmoon_volturi-535x356" width="300" height="199" />Esse será o primeiro trabalho do ator de 28 anos, por causa dessa falta de experiência Charlie diz que foi difícil criar seu personagem, principalmente porque o seu personagem sente muita raiva e quer acabar com todos. Para Charlie o diretor Chris Weitz vai surpreender a todos com os efeitos especiais de Lua Nova e que as cenas de ação são perfeitas.</p>
<p>O ator confessa que seu personagem sofreu algumas mudanças das descritas no livro, mas nada que vai atrapalhar, tudo foi feito para o seu personagem ficar mais atrativo para a trama.</p>
<p><strong>Noot Seear (Heidi)  e Justine Wachsberger (Gianna)</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_3379" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 207px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3379" title="80550991AS00_SOMALY" src="http://tvcinemaemusica.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/noot-seear-heidi1.jpg?w=197" alt="80550991AS00_SOMALY" width="197" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Noot Seear</p></div>
<p>As duas não têm grande importância na trama e devem aparecer pouco no filme, mas a dupla que interpreta respectivamente, Heidi e Gianna, faz um enorme sucesso com público masculino. Noot Seear é uma modelo famosa, que fará sua estreia como atriz, ela foi escolhida pelo próprio diretor de Lua Nova, Chris Weitz. Que escolheu ela pela sua beleza e considera ela perfeita para o papel de Heidi, uma vampira que leva os humanos para os vampiros se alimentarem.</p>
<p>Seear revela que apesar de ser sua estreia como atriz, ela está acostumada com as câmeras e diz que não existem tantas diferenças entre ambas profissões. A principal diferença é que a modelo teve que treinar para esquecer que a câmera estava lá, tratando o objeto como se fosse mais um ator na cena.</p>
<p>A modelo revelou que só leu os livros depois de ter sido escolhida para o elenco e  aproveitou as viagens que tem que fazer, para ler durante os voos os quatro livros da saga.</p>
<div id="attachment_3380" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 209px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3380" title="1239395173" src="http://tvcinemaemusica.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/1239395173.jpg?w=199" alt="1239395173" width="199" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text"> Justine Wachsberger </p></div>
<p>Já Justine Wachsberger tem um pouco mais de experiência na carreira de atriz e fugindo a uma regra no elenco, atriz leu o primeiro livro antes de ter sido escolhida para o papel de Gianna. Justine diz que o teste para o papel foi estressante, mas ao mesmo tempo engraçado, primeiro porque ela fez inicialmente o teste para o papel de Gianna. Depois começaram a surgir boatos que ela tinha escolhida para o papel e para sua surpresa, três semanas depois ela recebeu uma ligação dizendo que ela interpretaria não Gianna e sim Heidi.</p>
<p>Sobre a sua participação em Lua Nova, a atriz revela que tudo foi gravado em uma semana e que a cena parece demais com a descrita no livro. Justine diz que sua personagem é muito complexa, já que no livro não fica muito claro porque ela aceita fazer &#8220;esse trabalho&#8221; para os Volturi e que ninguém sabe ao certo porque ela fez essa escolha, que mudou toda sua vida.</p>
<p>Não percam semana que vem a penúltima parte do Especial Saga Crepúsculo!</p>
