Pretty tough to be a teenage girl when your immortal vampire boyfriend is so afraid of how horny you make him that he jets off to Vatican City, leaving you and a series of dangerous activities alone with each other. Yet that’s what young Bella Swan faces right after she turns 18, her romance with brooding Edward Cullen put on ice that’s rapidly melting thanks to a certain werewolf boy’s body heat. If all that sounds like, well, not enough plot to cover 131 minutes, don’t worry: Book author Stephenie Meyer, series screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, and New Moon director Chris Weitz throw in devilish Italian vamps, motorcycle death runs, and a truly cool dream sequence to keep the blood pumping. – James Scott
