I should probably just drop the years from this thing altogether, because today's list will actually contain not one, as I had hoped, but two movies that actually came out in late 2000. My only two excuses are that I write this very early in the morning, and well, I sometimes confuse when a movie came out with when I actually got to see it.

Absolutely unbelievable. Wow. That is all I can say. Who in their right mind would have predicted such a gigantic opening? I certainly couldn't. I knew it would be big, heck, I am pretty sure we all knew that. The phenomenon that was Twilight has become a juggernaut with The Twilight Saga: New Moon . The first suspicion I had that it would be bigger than expected was when the local 16 screen theater...

but I have to say I'm struck, and a little perturbed, by the effect it's having...on young men. Look at this ratings analysis of "New Moon," the second installment in the film franchise based on Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series. In particular, look at the breakdown of ratings by gender (and, to a lesser extent, age). Now there's nothing particularly shocking about those stats. It's no secret...

On Friday, I speculated that there might be a feminist reason to defend the Twilight phenomenon (though not necessarily the content of the books or movies): If nothing else, its popularity could teach Hollywood that female audiences matter. In that respect (and several others), The Twilight Saga: New Moon is off to an even better start than anticipated. According to Entertainment Weekly's Adam B....
