Twilight Movie Review

Category: Twilight Book Series & MovieCamryn @ 7:46 pm

   I think that Twilight was the best movie I’ve ever seen and the best book I have ever read. The actor who played Bella and Edward were fantastic actors. My favorite part of the movie was when James tried to kill Bella. But, Edward came and rescued Bella from becoming a vampire and had to kill James. The he burned him so he could not come back to try to get Bella.

   Edward was my favorite actor in the movie and of all because he could do almost anything. He was as fast as lightning and could stop a car and not get hurt at all. While I was watching the movie it kinda felt like it was real and I was in the movie. Bella was a great actor also because she acted like she was really cut and bitten and had broken her leg.

    If I ever get the chance to watch Twilight again I will watch it because it is such a good movie. Now im home and I wanna become a vampire so I can live forever and run at the speed of lightning and have super strength. I’d be able to climb trees to the top really fast and stop cars. Twilight will probably always be the best vampire movie I have ever seen in my whole life!

Twilight Movie Review

Category: Twilight Book Series & MovieJustyn @ 7:23 pm

     The movie was fantastic. Every detail it showed helped bring everything into the clear. Edward and Bella are played by great actors as are the rest of the Cullens and Swans and even Bella’s friends.

     In the beginning I was so excited to see how the movie compared to the book. Even though the movie left out some details, it had every main point covered which I though brought out the very best in the movie. Even in the end when Bella gets caught by James, Edward saves her and everyone lives to bring out a happy ending. The music was a great part to the movie and the songs played at specific parts were perfect. 

     One of my favorite parts was when the Cullens had Bella out with them while they played baseball. The sound of the ball being cracked out into the woods was perfect. Even as Edward ran to get the ball, you could tell the others were having fun. It was cool being able to see them in action when they hit the ball with their extreme power and then see them run really fast to get the ball.

     My other favorite part was when Edward took Bella into the woods to reveal his true self in the sunlight. The way his skin sparkled in the sunlight was just amazing to see. It was also really neat to see him run around and run fast moving from tree to tree and then ripping out a log and throwing it against the nearest tree to show Bella he was dangerous.

     Watching the movie help me see those actors playing in the next few movies just as perfect as they did this one. Over all the movie was a complete success and I would not change anything about it. The way they had the story just like the book made it even better then i imagined. I enjoyed this movie very much and I am excited to see what the next movies are like in the future.

Twilight Movie Review

Category: Twilight Book Series & MovieJamie @ 7:23 pm

This is by far the best movie I have ever seen! I’m 30 years old and believe me, I never thought I would like a vampire love story but I LOVE this one! The chemistry between Edward & Bella was amazing. I’m really surprised there isn’t any off screen romance going on between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. I could watch this one over and over again. There is no doubt that they have got to make part 2 & 3. The fans will prove strong in the support for the sequels, New Moon and Eclipse.

The story line itself is something that alot of people can get swept away in. Who doesn’t want to meet their soul mate; someone who unconditionally loves you; who will do anything to protect you and keep you safe and who actually can do all that, forever . The complexity, the passion, the mystery, the love, the danger, all comes together so perfect to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Edwards face is so beautiful, his expressions so intense. You can see the sadness in his eyes, because he is so torn between keeping Bella safe and keeping her with him. You can see the frustration in his eyes, because the only mind he can not read is Bella’s. You can see the unquestionable love in his eyes, because he has been waiting all his life for her. He is such a knight in -keep the shiney but minus the armour-, by how he catches her when she falls, saves her from the bad guys and is always at her side. Who doesn’t want an Edward? Well, I have mine.  See Dave, I told you you are my Edward. :) ~

Twilight Movie Review

Category: Twilight Book Series & MovieBaylee @ 7:19 pm

My favorite part of Twilight was when Edward and Bella  first met. I laughed so much when Edward just stared at Bella. I absolutely LOVED Twilight I can’t wait to until the 2nd movie of it comes out. Twilight was still good even though it was kind of the opposite of the book Twilight. Anyways, if you have not seen it yet go see it!!You will not hate it you’ll LOVE the movie and the book!!

My 2nd favorite part is when they got really high up in the trees. I was pretty astonished of how good it was. I don’t know about you but if I got to rate Twilight I’d give it the best review. Right after I saw it I asked my dad if we could see it again. I know kinda odd wanting to see a movie twice in a row.

My 3rd favorite part was when were in Bella’s old ballet place and they killed James. My 4th favorite part was Edward saved Bella from being crushed by that van. My 5th favorite part was when Tyler apologized like crazy because he almost crushed Bella. I just am so glad I’ve seen it in theaters on the first day it came out. Wow, I have got to read the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th before they come out in theaters as movies.

Twilight Movie Review

Category: Twilight Book Series & MovieDavid @ 7:05 pm

It was a dark and stormy night… Just kidding. Jamie has been bugging the shit out of me with this movie Twilight. First the books, then she heard about the movie. I didn’t read the books. I just don’t have an interest in a Vampire movies. They are as played out as green shag carpet.

But, what could I do. Jamie said I was her Edward… I had no idea what she was talking about. I only hoped that Edward didn’t like black guys and speak with a lisp. But now – I know. Twilight is, without a doubt, the best Vampire movie I have ever seen. The End..

OK, So I was kidding again. Who could stop there. All of the characters were perfect for their parts. Bella, played by Kristen Stewart, is so beautiful. She narrates the movie. Edward, played by, Robert Pattinson. makes the movie. I have never seen a person so perfect to play a vampire.

James, played by Cam Gigandet, is a badass. If you didn’t see him in “Never Back Down”, GO SEE IT. That is a killer flick too. I hate that he dies. But, again, I didn’t read the books so.. I really thought he would have been a wicked character thoughout the movie (there should be 3 more Twilight movies coming.)

I am not going to go through the whole movie naming actors, they are all really good (under statment). Jamie kept telling me while she was reading the books “each book leaves me wanting more”. Well, now I feel like a teenage girl. I can’t wait to see the next movie. Hell, I might break down and read the books (you better know that damn movie was good now)

Going to see this movie with all of my family (Yes, Jamie, Nikki Sixx, Camryn, Baylee and Justyn went with me) I was really planning on taking Nikki Sixx and watching Bolt or Madagascar 2. I am soo glad I didn’t.

If you’ve seen the movie, please post what you thought about it.  How well did the actors fit the book characters? Favorite scenes? Something in the book that you wanted to see but didn’t make it to the movie? 

 

I’m going tonight and will update after I get home.

  • Glue
     

See below.



1. Glue two popsicle sticks together at their ends to form a “V”.

2. Glue the final popsicle stick horizontally across the top of the “V”, letting the ends of the popsicle sticks (all three) stick out approximately one inch to form the antlers.

3. Glue a wiggle eye just under the top horizontal popsicle stick on each side of the “V”.

4. Glue a red or black pom for a nose at the bottom of the “V” where both of the popsicle sticks meet.

5. Put a thin ribbon through the reindeer to create a ornament for the Christmas tree.
