Bad Director Catherine Hardwicke Makes Another Bad Movie

Rating: 1/10 (20 November 2008)

This is getting endemic in Hollywood: They keep on hiring bad directors to make their movies and cast wanna-be models with a complete lack of acting talent and think this is the recipe for success.
Is it any wonder DVD sales are falling every year with movies like this? Catherine Hardwicke has a pedigree of never making anything that even resembles a good movie, but she does have the hype backing her up so she keeps being hired to destroy projects: case in point Twilight.
How is it interesting to cast a bunch of bad actors, light them poorly and dress them in drab clothes only to shake the camera around as if it were a magic wand that would somehow make this movie watchable? Just pathetic.
