today's topic:




haha.... cool eh. so since my sis has provided her views on the twilight movie, i feel that i should do the same! so.......let's go!

let's start from the beginning. so the movie starts with bella (kristin stewart) in a deserty-like place, which is supposedly Phoenix, Arizona and she's heading down to Forks, Washington to stay with Charlie, her dad. blah blah blah......fastforwarding to school, where bella is the new kid. this asian dude comes up to her and wants to put her on the front cover of the school newspaper, and he's supposedly Eric. was eric supposed to be asian????? *bewildered look* then we see bella playing volleyball, which purpose is to show how lousy she is in sports. i suppose the point comes across...... abit..... then we see mike newton. nice enough kid. then jessica. not a bad choice for jessica, but she's supposed to be pretty bitchy. not seen in the movie enough. following that, is the moment EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR: EDWARD CULLEN aka rob pattinson. i duno if people are excited to see the CHARACTER edward or rob. i think it's both. anyway, the cullen siblings come onscreen. and let's say cathering hardwicke knows how to build up the climax. rosalie and emmett enter the cafeteria first, then alice and jasper. then finally, *drumroll* EDWARD ENTERS!!! and the whole cinema gets a little excited. :P (this para is getting a little long......)

right. so on to biology class. bella enters the room, and edward literally wants to throw up. of cos we know he's not sick but just wants her blood so badly, but he looked sick. i thought he was supposed to grip the table and lean away from her, sit at the edge of his side of the table. i think rob overdid a bit on the whole feeling sick thing. bell rings, then he immediately rushes out of the room. check. bella enters the receptionist's office and sees edward trying desperately to change classes. check. moving on. the next few days edward is absent from school, and when he finally comes back he introduces himself, and then he and bella start identifying the process of mitosis. (Blah, i hate the topic of cell division) then comes the pivotal scene of edward saving bella from the car accident. super cool man omg. so bella gets taken to the hospital, and in breezes Carlisle Cullen. and the cinema goes a little wild too, his entrance as well accepted as edward's. but i must say he's pretty cool. very pale, very blond, very doctorish, but i won't say strikingly handsome as i wanted him to be. all the nurses are supposed to fall for him. but ahh....well....i can still live with his casting.

next. school trip, which isnt' in the book but is vital in the film, and it got steph meyer's approval, so what more can i say. bella questions edward on how he got to her so fast, and he says: "it's called adreneline rush. google it." OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY SAID "GOOGLE IT." firstly cos it's not in the book, but it seemed pretty out of place. next scene is in the caf again, and bella says edward's moodswings is giving her whiplash. and that line is also not in the book FYI. she invites him to La Push beach, where she meets jacob again and she googles and reads stuff and finally it dawns on her that edward is a vampire. whoopdedoo. like what jacob said is not obvious enough.

scanning through........comes the part where she goes into the woods and he follows her and he admits being a vampire. goes into the sunlight and dazzles and all......blah blah.....meet the parents next. it was really quite funny, cos the cullens were cooking italian food for her. and emmett said it's italian for her cos her name is bella. LOL. we see that rosalie is hostile towards bella, check. alice and jasper come in. alice is sweet as usual, and jasper has like this constantly shocked look on his face. SUPER UBER ADORABLE. then comes the baseball scene, WHICH IS THE COOLEST AND MY FAVOURITE PART IN THE WHOLE MOVIE!!!! vampire baseball is the best. :) then james, victoria and laurent shows up and the rest of the show is basically, saving bella from james. then it ends with prom......which errrr....... bella went quite willingly to though she was supposed to kick up a huge fuss. and then the movie ends with victoria looking at edward and bella dancing, letting the audience know that the story has just barely started.

whew!!! this is one big spoiler man. of cos i left out some parts, but now comes the time to critique.

1. casting. a huge big thumbs up and 5 stars for rob pattinson being edward cullen. i swear he's born to play edward. i really really like the other cullen siblings too. contrary to what sis says, i think nikki reed is smokin' hot. she's perfect for rosalie. i really really love kellan lutz as emmett too. carlisle is pretty acceptable, charlie ok, billy ok, OMG I LOVE TAYLOR LAUTNER AS JACOB BLACK. Whoooooo!!!~~~~ now let me complain about esme and bella. i felt esme was waaaayyy too old, and she's nowhere pretty enough. maybe she should change her makeup or something. and kristen stewart. my my where do i start. as much as she is my favourite actress in the whole world, SHE IS NOT A GOOD CHOICE FOR BELLA SWAN. i know bella isn't supposed to be miss happy-always-smiling kinda girl, but she isn't ms grumpy either!!!! omg, i swear i can count with the fingers with one hand the number of times she smiles.

2. location and music. excellent work for the location and scenery. i suppose the olympic mountain range can always be counted on to be breathtaking. music was really good too. i have Paramore's 'Decode' perpetually on repeat, and i'm currently listening to the soundtrack now. it just finished spinning for the 1st time, and now it's on for the 2nd consecutive time. so yea, it's pretty awesome.

3. the script. OH. MY. GOD. storyline wise, i really hate to say this but it's a huge, huge letdown. i don't think it stuck to the book close enough!! all it provides is the looming feeling overhead that the stuff that happens is somewhat similar to the book. keyword is somewhat. i felt there were waaayyyyy too many redundant scenes!! and that wastes alot of screen time which could actually be used for parts that belong in the book. i hate that so many parts are edited or twisted around from what is supposed to happen. like when mike asked bella to the spring dance in the book. in the movie, he asked her to prom (they totally ignored the spring dance) and she turned him down saying that she's going to jacksonville. she's supposed to go to freaking Seattle!!!! ARGH!!!! and she supposed to run away from alice and jasper from the airport, not from a hotel. -_-''' yea. so here's 2 examples. shan't go on anymore or i'll have to rewrite the whole script myself.

overall, i have to say the movie is just a tad bit disappointing, and the thing that saves it is the eye-candy cast and the anticipation for the film and my love for the book. i know a film is always hard to make, and that you can't squeeze EVERYTHING in, but they could have done loads better. seesh. i should just give up dentistry and do scriptwriting and directing. i'll direct "Breaking Dawn"!!!! :P haha...... so i'll give them 3.5 stars. nonetheless, i must encourage EVERYONE to go see the movie, read the book, blah blah..... anything that would make u a twilight fan. :) i'll definately buy the DVD, 2 disc special edition no less, so for those times i feel sad and down i'll just look at rob's lovely face and i'll feel all better. :P

i read the new paper today, and they said the rob is the current "It" boy at the moment. yes yes, no contest there. but i can't WAIT for "New Moon" to come out, where edward is absent for like 3/4 of the book. and it's JACOB BLACK ALL THE WAAAYYYY!!!~~~~~~ yea i love taylor lautner. :D:D:D i bet when "new moon" comes out, taylor will be the NEW "It" boy. i KNOW it. REMEMBER YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!! XDXDXD
