Where the Wild Things Are: Taylor Lautner bares heart, abs as Jacob Black in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon"

REVIEW | When a veritable pop culture benchmark comes to your local cineplex and you’re charged with having to review it, finding the appropriate point at which to start tackling it can be difficult. Unfortunately, even for me—a die-hard fan if ever there was one—”New Moon” is no exception to this rule. Do I start with how I kept wanting more Dakota Fanning? What it was like watching the never-ending parade of abdominals that is Taylor Lautner walk around shirtless over the course of two hours without succumbing to a lust-induced heart attack? How one truly decides whether they’re on Team Edward or Team Jacob? Believe me, it’s daunting. Luckily for you, I’ve taken the challenge head on. Twi-hards and homos, prepare yourselves.

Yes, my name is [redacted] and I am a fan of “Twilight.”

“But what exactly is ‘Twilight’?” I know, the thought plagues a lot of you. Some may think that they’re too old, too learned, or just too cool to care about this, the biggest literary phenomenon not involving Jesus or a boy wizard, and to those people I say this: you’re probably right. But after I say that I’m also going to tell you that maybe Stephenie Meyer has something. Like the Osmonds and Julie from the “Real World: New Orleans” before her, she has proven that Mormons can do more than just kill marriage equality in California: they can also entertain the masses.

Over the course of four books I have followed dutifully the many twists and turns that the journey of Bella and Edward’s love has taken, and though it might be easy to dismiss the series as just one in a stream of vampire related texts that have come into being over the last decade–”Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “the Vampire Diaries,” Eddie Murphy’s star turn as “Vampire in Brooklyn,” and “True Blood”–what Meyer has done is actually tap into the core of our emotional register. She has reached into the heart and soul of millions of boys and girls yearning to find their own true loves and shown us that even in the face of the many dangers that face the immortal ones that love can and will prevail…
