Movie Haiku:Jan loves this swoon-inducing romance about star-crossed lovers living in a Twin-Peaksy town in the Pacific Northwest made extra moody by Carter Burwell's great soundtrack. Sure, so Edward's a "vampire," but this isn't a film about fangs & blood, it's about feeling overwhelmed by new passions dimly understood. Rich likes too.
