Well, I have seen Twilight 4 times now and feel I should review it. Overall I think it is a REALLY good movie. Yes, the CGI is badly done, the script feels rushed, many fluff scenes could have been deleted to make more room for more dialogue between Edward and Bella, and some scenes had some seriously bad acting. Kristen Stewart looked confused and in pain all too often…not in love. Robert Pattinson over-acted many times with his looks of torture and inward pain.
BUT..the movie has several darn near perfect scenes were everything clicked and we saw the story for what it is…beautiful. Some of those scenes were in the meadow, the first kiss scene, the vampire baseball game, and the prom.
There were things added to the movie that were not in the books but I think they were complimentary…my only criticism was that we could have had more Bella and Edward had they stuck closer to the book storyline. Robert Pattinson was perfect as Edward..beautiful and soulful just like the character. Also a real musician just like the character. He actually plays Bella’s lullaby on the piano in the movie.
The second time I watched the movie I was in a packed house with teens and preteens. There was a lot of giggling, screaming, oohing, and ahhing. It was hilarious and really made me long for those days myself. Without a doubt I would have been one of them…absolutely crazy in love with Edward/Robert.
I recommend you go see the movie and watch with an open mind. It really is a good film and I can’t wait for the movie sequel…coming out in 2010. I can barely wait.
When episode 12 starts Sookie and Bill are not speaking. The killer who is praying on women in Bon Temps has just killed Amy and Jason has confessed to her murder. Tara is staying with a women who claims to be a social worker but is actually and unwelcome acquaintance of Sam’s.
The killer is identified as Rene by a fax that comes into the Sheriff’s office and is buried under paperwork. He killed his sister and moved to Bon Temps to kill any women who associate with vampires. Still not knowing he is the killer, Sookie agrees to accept a ride home from him and once there she begins to hear his thoughts and see what he is thinking. She sees that he killed her grandmother and she runs from the house with him in pursuit. At the bar, Sam also realizes that Rene is the killer and he runs into the woods to try and save Sookie.
While sleeping in the crawl space of his home, Bill hears her cries and decides to go out into the sunlight to try and save her. Rene catches up with Sookie in the graveyard and starts to beat her mercilessly. Sam, in the shape of a dog, jumps at Rene and fights him off. Rene starts to attack Sam as Sookie lay bleeding against a tombstone. Bill makes his way towards them, his flesh burning away with every step. He sees Sookie and thinks she is dead. He collapses on the ground.
Sookie wakes to see Rene beating Sam and she takes a shovel and hits him over the head with it. He falls to the ground but still tries to grab at her so Sookie hits him in the crook of the neck with the shovel…killing him. Sam and Sookie see smoke coming from nearby and realize it is Bill. Sookie turns him over and starts crying as he lays there dying. Sam quickly grabs him and puts him into a freshly dug grave and covers him up.
Sookie returns home after a quick visit to the hospital and Jason comes to her soon after, after being released from jail. He tells Sookie he loves her and that he won’t waste this second chance to make something of his life. Rene’s wife visits Sookie and apologizes for not seeing what Rene was. Sookie tells her that she thinks Bill is dead.
As night falls though the doorbell rings and Sookie opens the door to find Bill. He tells her he fed and is completely healed. She invites him in once again and they kiss passionately. She tells him her life to to short to waste any more time away from him.
The show then skips 2 weeks into the future. Sookie rejoices as marriage between vampires and humans become legal and she looks forward to celebrating this big step for vampire civil rights with Bill later that night. However, as night falls Bill is rejoined in his home by Jessica and she once again becomes his responsibility. Sookie and Tara also discover the body of Lafayette outside the bar and the episode ends with them screaming.
Who killed Lafayette? Was it Bill? How will Sookie take the entrance of a vampire woman into Bill’s life and home? We must wait until summer to find out.
When episode 11 of True Blood begins, Bill has become a maker, creating his first vampire offspring named Jessica. It was part of his sentence for killing another vampire…a punishment. Jessica turns out to be wild, and reckless and Bill seeks to pass her off on Eric so that he can get back to Sookie.
Jason helps Amy clean up the mess after she kills the vampire that was living against his will in their basement. He gives her an ultimatum…stop taking V or they will have to break up. She agrees but convinces Jason to take one last “trip” with her and they do.
A killer is still on the loose, praying on women who are friendly with vampires and Sookie and Sam head to a small town a few hours away to investigate a death that Sookie saw in the killer’s mind. They leave with a lead on the deceased woman’s brother who coincidentally left after his sister’s death. Meanwhile the killer enters Jason’s home and strangles Amy while they high on V. When Jason wakes up to find her dead he decides he must be the killer and turns himself in.
Feeling lonely and sad without Bill, Sookie finds comfort in Sam and they kiss. Bill enters the house and sees them and attacks Sam. Sookie is furious that Bill would attack the man who saved her life while Bill was gone and she orders him out of the house. Without an invitation Bill has to leave and heartbroken, he begs Sookie to reconsider but she slams the door in his face.
