Twilight and New Moon

20TH ANNIVERSARY GALA SCREENING: Tuesday September 29, 6:45pm. Join us for a double feature of TWILIGHT and NEW MOON to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the cult classic’s sequel (the ticket price includes entry into the double feature and a hard-cover deluxe collectors’ edition novel of ‘New Moon’. Hold on tight, spider monkey, it’s going to be an epic night!

Before Kristen Stewart was an indie darling and Robert Pattison donned the Batsuit, the pair were catapulted to fame in the cultural sensation that launched a thousand half-hearted supernatural romances: the TWILIGHT saga!

Springing onto the scene with low hopes, a modest budget and a shitton of blue colour grading, 2008’s TWILIGHT reminds us that teenagers have a lot of feelings. Indie auteur Catherine Hardwicke lends this tale of teen vampire love all the teen angst and gothic melodrama it rightfully deserves – and she also scores a vampire baseball montage to Supermassive Black Hole. Dracula could never.

Bella’s back, but blue is out – things get earthy as the Cullens skip town and our heroine seeks comfort in her uncomplicated, totally platonic friendship with the suddenly-very-buff Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Whoops, wolf’s out of the bag…looks like patronising lectures from spectral visions of her vampiric ex-boyfriend are the least of Bella’s problems. And just when you think the movie’s almost over, get ready for ANOTHER HALF HOUR that includes a trip to Italy, gruesome mass murder, family meetings and Michael Sheen chewing the scenery as the villainous Aro.

(Please note that there will be a 10-minute interval between the films).
