Twilight is IN

I just got up from bed still thinking about “Twilight”. The movie blew me away (shallow me). I’m an avid book lover of a very few “books” and VERY hard to impress as far as book-to-screen adaptations go. But I have scanned Stephen Meyer’s Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and half the way on The Midnight Sun.

I get really bored so constantly passing through chapters (which is not good). But when talking about how the movie goes, I have NO complaints… at all! Some say it was simple, predictable, generic… I thought it was intelligently done with elegance of course.

Kristen and Rob are the perfect Edward Cullen and Isabella “Bella” Swan. They were captivating from start to finish. I sat back on my seat and listened to the whole theatre erupt in laughs, gasps, sighs and jumps at all the right places. Granted most of us in there were young women, but the movie just plain rocked that way. It sucks you in and tells the story just right. Even my friend who hadn’t read the books was just as enthralled as everybody.

The humor was Twilight’s greatest asset. The baseball game was amazing and the mirror fight scene was intense. I enjoyed the music, the non-overdone visual effects, the adherence to all major plot points and characters and the ending. The ending was pretty much the best. I walked out really salivating to see the next three on screen, just like that.

If you give Twilight a shot, you shouldn’t be disappointed. It’s that good (Not to mention… the handsome, bad-and-good flavored Robert Pattinson). One note: Foreign vampires get to shine when hit by sun rays. Filipino version: They light up in fire! Poor economy. Sorry, last comment was not related at all.

SYPNOSIS:

Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a bit different, never caring about or fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother Renee (Sarah Clarke) remarries and decides to move with her new husband to Florida, and Bella decides to go live with her father, Charlie (Billy Burke), in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Intelligent and witty, his piercing eyes see straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than any cheetah, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands, and he hasn’t aged since 1918. Most importantly, he’s a vampire. Like all vampires, he’s immortal. He doesn’t drink human blood (they’re vampire “vegetarians”), which is rare among the vampire population. Instead, they go on regular “hiking” trips, where they feed on prey such as grizzly bears and mountain lions. For Edward, Bella is the thing he has waited ninety years for – a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. And what will they do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi), and Victoria (Rachel Lefevre) come into town and James sets his sights on Bella? Will true love prevail when Edward is forced to save her life and conquer his thirst? The true question is… When you can live forever, what do you live for?
