I began my evening watching TWILIGHT. I have not read the books, so I only knew the tiniest bit about this series before I watched this tonight. I surprised myself by actually liking it OK. Nothing great, mind you, but it held my interest despite being too long (by about 15 or 20 minutes, I thought).
Know what I liked best? The fact that the high school had a group of nice kids who weren't mean and vicious to a new student and who actually found her worthy as a friend without her having to prove something to them. For movies made today, that is refreshing indeed.
