"I truly believe that if you don't like the movie, chances are you didn't understand it.What makes the movie so great is the small moments such as the look of complete self-deprecation and low self esteem on Matt's face at the beginning of the movie (watch the scene where he plays Samnang's tape and the close-up on his face as everyone laughs is truly fantastic). The facial expressions that Elisha and Emile have are truly incredible.Many people have already said that she looks more stunning than any woman in any film and that the two actors make the viewer believe that their characters are truly in love. All I can do is agree wholeheartedly.In many ways it's not a high school movie because high school is effectively over by the time it's started.Matthew Kidman also has to be one of the, if not the, most complex portrayals of a character in teenage comedy. Both the script and Emile nail this individual- the type who slips through any major definition and you rarely see in high school movies. He's not unpopular but he's far from cool. Emile's performance is nuanced and clever.Elisha Cuthbert. What can I say? Ebert said her character was evil and manipulative. Was he even watching the same film? That description sounds like Rebecca DeMornay from Risky Business. Oh, and btw, I don't care whether it's not the original or about pointless 80s semantics, this film is far far better than Risky Business.Eli and Klitz are so far from the cardboard cut out "best friend" characters you get in most teen comedies.
Eli is actually well-developed- a guy who likes to act confident and composed but is terrified and insecure in many ways. Klitz is perhaps even more impressive, with the fantastic Paul Dano (finally getting some recognition after Little Miss Sunshine and There Will Be Blood) making him a real, sympathetic and also funny character within a few seconds and with barely any lines (watch the scene where Matt as student council president makes the Samnang announcement and the way Eli and Klitz aren't sure whether they should clap or not).Perhaps best of all, the film blends humour seamlessly with emotion". -by luks-11 (Fri May 29 2009).
-"Did Luke [Greenfield] try to make you watch any of the teen films he grew up on?
-Yes. I had already seen "Risky Business" and it was always my wish that we surpass "Risky Business." I was always like, "This has to be better than 'Risky Business.' Let's make this better." I didn't want to re-do it, make it for the ages, I wanted it to be better than "Risky Business." That was my goal from Day One. -Does it surpass "Risky Business?"-Oh yeah - in my opinion, a lot more. I watched "Risky Business" recently and I was just - I don't know, I don't know why - maybe it's because I'm competitive with it, I don't know, but for some reason I don't click with that movie".

"In The Girl Next Door, you’ll find a note-perfect tribute to Risky Business, and in Hirsch’s character (Matthew Kidman), you’ll see a modern analogue of Tom Cruise’s Joel Goodsen. In Lords of Dogtown — this is where it really gets good — as troubled skateboarder Jay Adams, Hirsch is the heart and soul of the film, absolutely owning every scene in which he appears while retaining no trace of Matthew Kidman. His role in Alpha Dog, as rich-kid drug dealer Johnny Truelove, is closer in spirit to his work in Lords of Dogtown, but Hirsch still finds new territory to explore. The character of Truelove could have just ended up as an extended riff on Adams. Hirsch could have tried to shield his image and played Truelove as more of an antihero. Instead, he took the braver path — especially for an up-and-coming young Hollywood turk — and removed every shred of hero from the character. Alpha Dog might not have really succeeded critically or commercially, but Hirsch did".
"Rob's perfect to take their inheritance and being Hollywoood's new sex-symbol.As for the New Moon shooting, Rob states that shooting was going pretty well also because NM has a more oniric and fantastic atmosphere. "Most of my character's scenes are purely a product of Bella's imagination: there are memories but also nightmares all mixed up together. She's really scared because she thinks she's going insane. I got to shoot some pretty impressive stuff. I think this movie is going to be scarier that the first one.""Robin Wright Penn told me that she and her kids loved Twilight very much. She came to me and it was really weird because it was just after her husband won the award for best actor. Surreal, indeed."You are a talented guitarist and pianist, and you composed a few songs for the Twilight soundtrack. Is there any other musical project you're involved with?
"Yes, actually. I'm composing a few songs for another movie OST I'm very fond of, but I can't tell any more than this for now. A few months ago, People magazing put you in 13th place in their'Most sexy man' chart, and you said you were searching for a girlfriend. Has something chanced since then?"No, not much. I'm still searching for a girlfriend. Do I really hold 13th place? I didn't even remember that anymore." You said you learned a lot from the Salvador Dalì biopic, Little Ashes. Why?
"One of the main themes of the movie is the fear of being overwhelmed and overdriven by ambition, and to get too worried about your public image that you might foget who you really are. I'm very aware of this: If people talks about you - people you haven't even met - in the end you become paranoid about everything and you feel like you can't be honest or truthful. I learned that it's wrong to wear a mask. everything's so much easier and healthier living trying to be yourself. And to not being scared of what people might think of you."

"New Moon", the sequel to last year’s box office sensation Twilight, continues the story of Bella Swan, an ordinary high school student, and Edward Cullen, the vampire she falls in love with. New Moon, on the other hand, shows us what happens when the honeymoon period is over and the star-crossed lovers start to realize the implications of what they’re doing. Bella and Edward are still together and going strong, although Bella is increasingly frightened by the thought of becoming older than the immortal Edward. After one of Edward’s brothers tries to attack Bella at her birthday party, Edward decides he can no longer continue their relationship and abruptly leaves town with his family. As the devastated Bella recovers, she grows closer to Jacob Black, a Quileute Indian boy whose feelings for Bella are not strictly platonic. If teen romance is what draws you to the film, then New Moon probably isn’t for you. On the other hand, if you—like me—were a fan of the darker aspects of the first movie, then this has the potential to be a much better, stronger film than the first. Robert Pattinson will have the opportunity to play conflicted and self-loathing—which he did really well in the first film—like never before, and Kristen Stewart’s understated style of acting should serve well for Bella’s quiet melancholy.*I wanted to feel Edward’s presence throughout the movie, even when he is not physically there. When I reviewed the Twilight film back in November, I noted that Robert Pattinson’s portrayal of Edward was one of the strengths of the movie. By that time, many of Twilight’s fans had already started to swoon over him, and the frenzy only increased after the movie was released. Yet New Moon requires Pattinson’s character to be gone for more than half of the story. So how can the movie proceed with one of its leads MIA? The script does manage to bring Pattinson back into the picture fairly often while sticking fairly close to Meyer’s Bella-centric vision. But including Edward is one place where the film should have had a distinct advantage over the book, which is limited to Bella’s first-person narration. Although the script gives us a few glimpses into what happens in Edward’s life while he’s not with Bella, it would have been nice to see more—especially to get some insight into how Edward is feeling about the situation. As a reader of the book, it’s impossible not to wonder where Edward disappears to, but as a viewer of the film I imagine this absence will feel even more profound—especially when it could be so easily resolved. *I wanted the film to give the Jacob character a chance to shine. Given Robert Pattinson’s magnetism and popularity with the fans, it might be tempting to scrimp on the middle of the story and rush through the scenes where Jacob and Bella’s friendship develops. But this dynamic is pivotal to the rest of the plot (both in New Moon and the later stories), and short-shifting it would be doing the film a disservice. One thing I noticed in the last film was that Lautner had a very different chemistry with Kristen Stewart’s Bella than Pattinson did, which is integral to this film. Plus, he was able to stare down Edward without blinking—also very important to the character. *I wanted to see more development of Bella’s relationship with the Cullens. Unfortunately, that did not happen here—though that may be more a failing of the first script than this one. Much of the dynamic between Bella and the Cullens was established during the Twilight novel, and a good bit of that was eliminated in the movie.
*I wanted this script to ease up on the voiceovers. I’ve taken a lot of creative writing classes in my day, and there’s one consistent theme: show, don’t tell.But Bella’s a fairly straightforward character, so it’s not necessary to spell out everything she’s thinking. Her boyfriend left, she’s sad, we get it. No need to belabor the point". Source: www.cincity2000.com
