Every movie sequel tries to be bigger, badder or bloodier than its predecessor. In the case of
"The Twilight Saga: New Moon," the follow-up to last year's blockbuster hit "Twilight," bigger
and badder meant adding werewolves to a vampire story.
"New Moon," which opened Friday and already is breaking box-office records, has more stunts
and special effects than the first movie, creating adrenaline-pumping scenes "to keep the boys
happy -- boys who are dragged to the theater by their girlfriends," said Susan MacLeod, the
movie's visual-effects supervisor
