As you may have noticed my co-bloggers have been posting a lot lately about Twilight, a global phenomanon. They say that it is surprisingly good and fun to watch, I... disagree.
The problem I have with Twilight is that it dwells to much in emotion that is dull and sometimes amazingly cheesy. The storyline is the only thing that is OK but that as well is cheesy and watching it is like drowning in wallpaper paste. But those are the movies and now I move on to the book.
The writing in the book is brillant, it is very good it is the only thing in the series I like. Unfortunaley Meyer wastes her awesome writing on vampire romance stories, but still somehow she has made millions of dollars and sparked a vampire craze around the world: Vampire Diries, Pure Blood, Vampires Suck they are all clinging to the tower of the vampire that is twilight, moving on imagine if Meyer used her writing in more useful places that are exciting and un-cheesy she would be a zillionaire. So if you are reading this humble blog Stephenie I hope you take my advice into account.

Eclipse Movie Review
Eclipse came out a couple of months ago and I have seen it a few times and I think that it was worth it.
The movie begins with a young man in Seattle, being attacked by a strange creature. And then once again with a preface recital with Bella talking about fire and ice.
Bella’s decision to become a vampire has been scheduled for graduation, which comes up fast. But in her contract for Edward to be the one to make her a vampire, he has asked her to marry him. Even though she loves Edward, she thinks she is too young, and that other people would see it as if she was rushing into it and as if she’d just been “knocked up”.
Bella is also nervous about never seeing her family again after becoming a vampire, and a visit to her mother strengthens these feelings. Even so, the only thing she ever wants is Edward.
Jacob isn’t talking to her because of the decision she has made. Though they get talking again, and Bella discovers the Quileute Tribe’s stories- some good action and cinematography there.
The infamous Victoria is on the run- there are some good chase scenes involved there.
Newborn vampires are happening in Seattle, and the Cullens plan to stop it.
The movie lacks once again in the middle with a lot of conversational talking and less action. This is because in Eclipse many stories are explained, such as Rosalie’s and Jasper’s.
Training takes place for the battle- good cinematography and action there.
The climax is at the end, where the newborn vampires travel to Forks. The vampires and werewolves team up and a large battle takes place.
One main character dies- I will not reveal the name.
The storyline is good.
An improvement with the music- still slightly original though.
Acting is almost excellent now, an 8.5 is quite well suited.
Cinematography is still at a high level, but lacks a bit, with a bit less effects.
Action is improving.
Overall, a slight improvement to New Moon and the best of the Twilight Saga so far. (Do remember these are my thoughts on the movie)
Storyline: 7
Acting: 8.5

New Moon Movie Review
Here is the 2nd movie of the Twilight Saga, and the review:
The movie begins once again with a preface recital, and shows Bella running through a large crowd of people dressed in red.
Bella is faced with a fact that while she grows older and gets closer to dying, her Edward stays the same, perfect immortal self. This is sparked by a dream of her looking like her Grandma, mirroring herself, and the fact that she turns 18 during the movie. So the option of becoming an immortal vampire like Edward comes into her mind.
Bella comes very close to death at her birthday party, when blood is spilt.
A quarter way through the movie, Edward and his family leaves Forks; Edward hoping to give her a better life.
She goes into a deep depression, and the movie lacks a bit at this part. Her old friend, Jacob Black, (Taylor Lautner) comes in handy and a lot of the movie is based around how much Bella gets to like Jacob, and how he masks the “deep hole in her heart”.
Even so, she sees pictures of Edward, whenever she is in danger. This causes her to become an “adrenalin junky”, hoping to hear his voice and see him.
Her depression goes on for months, and just as she seems to get the hold of herself, Jacob turns into a werewolf. The cinematography involved with the shape-shifting is absolutely fantastic.
The climax comes up near the end, where, Alice, (Ashley Greene), returns to Forks and explains how Edward thinks Bella is dead.
They race off to Italy to the Volturi. And a small battle takes place.
There is an improvement in acting from Twilight-the nerves have eased off. The music is a bit too original, the movie lacks a bit of action through the beginning and middle but the great cinematography and storyline make up for it.
Overall, an improvement to Twilight. (Do remember these are my thoughts on the movie)

Twilight Movie Review
Here is the Twilight Review,
I just saw Twilight and it is the 1st of the 4 movies of the Twilight Saga. If you haven’t seen it, I suggest reading this:
The movie begins with a preface recital, of Bella, (Kristen Stewart) talking about dying in the place of someone she loves. (I thoroughly suggest reading the novel before viewing, so as to understand the movie). Bella moves away from sunny Phoenix, away from her enthusiastic mother, (who re-married) to Forks, Washington to her father-Charlie.
At Forks, she encounters a strange family, of “beautiful” people. One of them, Edward, (Robert Pattinson) obtains an interest in her. Through the movie, they get closer together and get to know each other more. It’s a bit slow at these parts but is still ok. Though, soon Bella notices some strange things about Edward. Immense strength, super speed, good looks, and language from the previous century. The effects here are good.
Edward finally breaks it to her, that he is a vampire after a close encounter with some dangerous men.
The family is introduced and it comes down to a baseball game where the climax starts. There are fantastic effects here. After an encounter with other vampires, a chase starts across America and ends in a ballet room, where a battle takes place. A bit gruesome at parts but all good.
Storyline could be better in the facts of more action throughout the early of the movie, but still pretty good. Acting is slightly dodgy-(it is the 1st movie), but well suited. (Do remember these are my thoughts on the movie)
Storyline: 7
Acting: 6.5 – bit cheesy at times
Cinematography: 9
Action:6.5
Music: 7
