Despite the mixed review, if I am to examine why I find “New York, I Love You” a pleasurable film to watch, the list would look something like this.
I enjoy reading short stories. Short stories often has a faster pace, a metaphor, and a twist as resolution. When I was younger, I found short stories incomplete. [...]

The question, I think, is why “New Moon” can get away with the disjointed subplots and cheesy dialogues and yet able to make tons of girls in the theatre we visited swooning all the way from opening to the end credits – literally so.

Wow. How Kristen Stewart has grown up from the 12 years old Panic Room diabetes into one fine young actress who is in love with … a vampire. Twilight watched like a mix of my favorite TV series Buffy and Felicity. Add that with the cool rock numbers by Linkin Park, Muse, Paramore, and more [...]
