I am not going to waste a lot of words on New Year's Eve - a collection of incomplete and uninteresting stories. Director Gary Marshall rounded up quite a few very good actors and crammed them into a very bland movie. The best part about it was that it was set in NYC. What surprised me the most was that so many GREAT actors agreed to be in something so mediocre - Robert Deniro, Halle Barry, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hillary Swank, Hector Elizando - what were you all thinking?
Bottom line - Skip it. Really.
The Twilight Saga is one of my guilty pleasures. I admit it. I have read the entire series of books 3 times. It was a great read if you like teenage vampires, werewolves and a compelling love story. When I read the series I knew that the last book was going to be difficult to adapt into a movie for teens. I figured that it was going to be difficult to watch. It was. Parts of it were downright awful. I won't describe it here.
So they divided the last book into two parts. This movie was a necessary evil. It had to be made to get to the end of the story. So here is my recommendation - if you are a fan of the books and movies - you should probably see it. If you are squeamish, you can close your eyes during the icky parts. OR maybe you can skip Breaking Dawn Part 1 and wait for Part 2 to come out. Maybe some things are better left to the reader's imagination.

Looks like you and the paid critics agree on 'New Years Eve' - a waste of talent. And I'm no fan of werewolves, etc.
Thanks for the photos!
