The Sun is Setting On Twilight

So, I rented the movie "Twilight" and I just about feel asleep half way through it. I am quite puzzled by all of the hype (and the fact that the main characters look just like Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl), and wonder how this became a sensation. Though I have not read the book, I have read all of the hype surrounding the film. That fact that it was praised for "being erotic but not sexual," due to the fact that the author is Mormon and is using moral boundaries. That's great, but that does not mean that it means that the storyline is any good. The fact that this movie is hyped because of its lack of sex shows that Hollywoods exception should be the rule and that way, we are not forced to watch bad movies just because of their morals.
