Is 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' director Chris Weitz giving up on Hollywood? According to an interview in MovieMaker Magazine, the producer-director-writer is unhappy with the Hollywood system, particularly after his experience with 'The Golden Compass'...
Funny how a 'New Moon' rising can bring out a transformation in all of us. Just days after 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' director Chris Weitz admitted during an interview with MovieMaker Magazine that 'I have maybe one more film in me,' it now appears...
Now rolling in New Moon millions, Chris Weitz is being more open about his troubles with New Line and The Golden Compass, a film that sank one studio and sent him into a tailspin. Rumors abounded as to what went wrong on that film, and as recently as last...

I liked the movie. The book was beter by far , though. And it is true,that the book, more than the film, makes you think and sort of find the tweaks in the catholic church and everything. Good for tee... nagers during THOSE years where you ar etrying to discover yourself. We all have to revolt at times. Full Review
I thought it was a fantastic movie and can't wait for the next. As one who was raised Catholic and seen all the control and contradiciton imposed by the Christians in general, enjoyed the biting, and... quite obvious criticism of the church. I hope this causes more people to question what they are told and whether they believe the hypocrisy they are taught. Full Review
I haven't seen the movie yet but I have read the books and I have to say that most of you people didn't like the movie probably because you didn't understand it. Besides, a lot of movies that originat... ed from a book are pure crap. Like the Harry Potter movies which stink, but the books are still awesome. I think you should try to read the book more than see this movie. Don't judge Philip Pullman based on some movie he didn't even direct. Full Review
It was the best movie i have seen.I put it up there with Harry Potter and The lord of the rings I cant wait to see the next two.I wish they would make more movies like this I took my grandson and he i... s seven and he rated it a nine I was very surprised how much he liked the movie. Full Review
