I was wondering why They were reviewing a Movie about vampires myself... Scripture says we are to "Guard our hearts"

Proverbs 4:24-27(New Living Translation) Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life.

24 Avoid all perverse talk;
stay away from corrupt speech.

25 Look straight ahead,
and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
26 Mark out a straight path for your feet;
stay on the safe path.
27 Don’t get sidetracked;
keep your feet from following evil.

My Husband made a Good point, this something a desensitized world is making OK, that probably shouldn't be seen.

Accepting, for a moment, the idea that vampires can exist in a fantasy world and that they are capable of making "moral" choices within the framework of their predetermined natures, it would be fair to say that the Cullen clan's choice to avoid killing humans is ... positive. Edward explains to Bella that they are "vegetarians," meaning that they have learned to survive on the blood of animals. Beyond being grateful that she's not going to be devoured mere moments after falling in love for the first time in her life, Bella interprets this as them being "good" vampires who have struggled, some for centuries, to renounce their evil inclinations.
So within the context of a monster mash such as this, we can see a reflection of the Christian calling to put away the old man of sin and embrace the new one—a path that while straight and narrow, is certainly more difficult to walk.

Really, Crosswalk? A movie about vampires, darkness, evil and forbidden relationships and all you can come up with for a critique is "bad dialogue"?

I'm disappointed...

This movie provides a pathway to incredible darkness. Why does this review give it the least bit of a recommendation? thoughts?
