Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1

The other night the Huz and I went to see Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1!

I loved it!

The Huz not so much.

"The beginning (wedding) was sooooooooooooo slooooooooooow," complains the Huz.

The movie itself teeter totters between a B- and a B+. Sure, the Vampires' make up is over done, especially compared to Bella's au natural look. The acting is anything but great. The romance is over the top and makes me throw up in my mouth a little. Yes, it's ridiculous that Jacob rips off his shirt showing off his hot body just as the movie begins.

But the story of Twilight Breaking Dawn, is awesome for several reasons. One, it's not a typical fairy tale with a happy ending. Bella doesn't get married and live happily ever after. Instead, Bella gets married, has a horrible pregnancy, and in the end she turns into a monster.

There's a lot of truth in that, Internet.

Second, Bella finally claims her power, doing what she wants instead of what Edward and Jacob tell her to do. Amazingly, Jake and Edward continue to love Bella even when she's amazing, powerful, in charge, bossy, grouchy, feeling ill and not looking her best.

In other words, they accept Bella even when she is a real woman.


Go Bella!

Don't worry guys, Edward and Jacob don't sacrifice any of their monsterliness in the process of yielding to Bella's power. Breaking Dawn solidifies the charismatic alliance between Bella, Edward and Jacob, which is built on trust, respect, and love.

Lastly, Jacob finally imprints on SOMEONE, and finds his soul mate. What a relief that is. And who deserves it more than Jacob? Well, we all deserve to find our soul mate, the same amount, but still.


While I adore the Twilight novels, the Twilight movies are campy, and overly dramatic causing the audience to burst out into laughter at the movie's most dramatic moments. And this is where the movie magic begins.

Watching any of the Twilight movies with an audience is like seeing it with hundreds of your best, drunk friends. There are no filters. And there's plenty of witty, indulgent and inappropriate commentary at the movies most serious moments.

Twilight Breaking Dawn, is worth watching because what the movie lacks, the audience more than makes up for in entertainment. The Twilight movies could be this generation's Rocky Horror Picture Show. As soon as viewers start showing up in costume and breaking into song, that is.

Twilight, Breaking Dawn Part 1

The moon is full tomorrow night, but that won't stop me from howling at it right now.

"Owuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

All the howling is probably the reason I find it hard to sleep when the moon is full, or close to full.

Speaking of howling, the next Twilight movie is coming out soon isn't it?

Hold please, while I Google it, just a little bit.



And now we return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Yes! Twilight, Breaking Dawn, Part 1 is coming out November 18th.

Yeeeeeeeew!

The fourth book in the Twilight Series, Breaking Dawn, is my absolute favorite in the Edward, Bella, Jacob, triangular saga. Why?

One, there's the very surprising twist. Two,Bella finally realizes her power. Eight, you-know-who will be running around like Wolfman Six Pack Abs, without his clothes, due to his man to wolf transmutations.

Sounds like fun to me.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Oh my goodness, Internet. The third installment of the Twilight Saga, Eclipse, was by far my favorite, in the series of books, vamped into a movie, so far.

I love seeing a visual interpretation of a book, and I'm happy to say they they got it right.

I thought Eclipse the movie, captured the deep emotions portrayed in the third book, more intensely and accurately than the previous two movies. Bella (human, so far), is exceptionally broody over being pulled in separate directions by her two loves.

Jacob (werewolf) is more determined than ever to win Bella over. Edward (vampire) is so passionately devoted to Bella, he willingly hands her over to Jacob several times.

Their love triangle is perfectly torturous. Although Bella is a fragile human, she's no wimp, and she always has the final say, on who carries her into the forest. Team Jacob vs Team Edward is a moot point, considering she has those little monsters wrapped around her finger.

I don't want to spoil the plot line, in case you haven't read the book or watched the movie, but I will say there are plenty of tense moments and volatile scenes within the dynamic threesome, Bella, Edward and Jacob.

Ménage à trois?

It's probably not going to happen considering the author of the Twilight Saga is a Mormon. Though perhaps there is a chance for a bit of reverse polygamy? One can only hope for more cramped 2-person tent scenes, with the trio.

Thankfully, "Eclipse," doesn't take itself too seriously, and frequently makes fun of itself, in spite of Jacob's high body temperature. In fact, he is so hot, he can barely manage wearing any clothes at all, save for a pair of cut-off jeans, throughout most of the movie.

Sizzzzzzzle.

"Doesn't he own a shirt?" Edward asks Bella of Jacob.

Edward, for the sake of female audiences everywhere, I hope Jake doesn't own a shirt. Guys have been soaking up blatant eye candy in the media for years. Women have a lot of catching up to do. We are making up for lost time with Jacob, and online pR0n, apparently.

Then there's our heroine, Bella. At times she is more of a man than the noble Edward and haute Jacob combined, clad in her Kurt Cobain flannel and plaid attire. Who else could get away with yelling at a vampire, and slapping a werewolf, but bad-arse Bella?

Besides, I'm sure all three actors have violet auras, most famous people do. Violet women appear more masculine than violet guys. But don't worry guys, she's all woman, underneath her grunge wear. Though you won't see much skin, so bring your visualization skills.

I can't wait until the fourth book, "Breaking Dawn," is brought to the big screen. "Breaking Dawn," has my favorite twist in the entire series. Correction: Films, the fourth book is actually going to be broken up into two movies, just like the seventh Harry Potter Book.

Here's a trailer from Eclipse. Enjoy. :)

Seems like a great excuse for a vacation date night.
