Did they just say “EMO-ish” Twilight Movie Sucks?
Posted by: | CommentsHere’s what USA Today has told the curious movie goers just a few days ago;
According to online movie ticket seller Fandango, Twilight is accounting for nearly two-thirds of ticket sales, and more than 100 shows have sold out for the movie’s Nov. 21 premiere. The James Bond movie Quantum of Solace, meanwhile, is accounting for only 6%, even though the movie comes out in eight days. That doesn’t mean Solace won’t still win the box office battle when all is said and done, but those are the kinds of numbers that can leave even steel-nerved spies a little shaken and stirred.
But this is what Gawker mentioned – Twilight Movie Sucks! being backed by movie critics’;
From the Variety review:
“…a disappointingly anemic tale of forbidden love that should satiate the pre-converted but will bewilder and underwhelm viewers who haven’t devoured Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling juvie chick-lit franchise.”
“But even with angsty rock songs, lurching camerawork and emo-ish voiceover at her disposal, Hardwicke can’t get inside the head of her young protagonist, Isabella “Bella” Swan (Kristen Stewart); consequently, Bella’s decision to get hot and heavy with a hot-and-hungry vampire, far from seeming like an act of mad, transgressive passion, comes across as merely stupid and ill-considered. The result is a supernatural romance in which the supernatural and romantic elements feel rushed, unformed and insufficiently motivated, leaving audiences with little to do but shrug and focus on the eye-candy.”
“Chase-thriller endgame seems to sputter to a halt when it’s barely begun.”
And from the Trib review:
“‘Low-key’ is not the adjective you’d expect to describe a highly anticipated vampire movie, but there it is.”
“Hardwicke was right to concentrate on getting the smoldering down between her stars, but the story depends on Bella’s (and the audience’s) amazement at this strange new world of supernatural feats. If there’s a sequel—and there likely will be—here’s Job One: Show us, in a striking way, what these undead can do when they’re not letting their hair do the fwooping.”
Now I’ve got a bad feeling that Evan John would be right on the actors they’ve chosen for the lead roles. As per discussion he won’t be watching the movie because he’s a twilight fanatic, but for him to scrutinize the movie itself. I’m with you bro, but it would be very nice of you if you’ll pay for my movie ticket.. hahaha
Lastly, check this comment from someone;
Yeah… Fuck this movie… I had never heard of it until maybe a month ago, and now everyone has a boner for it… I’m all for a good vampire movie, but this just looks like a big pile of kitty diarrhea.

Posted by: | CommentsI’ve been trying to look for DL’s for the said movie but to no avail. Anyway, once I can find one I’ll have it posted here to those of you who wanted to save on cost. Anyway, to spice up your Twilight experience I’ve included DL links of the four ebooks for you to read. Scroll down to grab yourself a copy.
For the meantime, I’ve checked on various reviews and synopsis while waiting for the said video to come out. Please feel free to scan the reviews and synopsis of this anticipated movie of the year.
About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him—-and I didn’t know how dominant that
part might be—-that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally
and irrevocably in love with him.
Amazon.com
“Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands.
‘Be very still,’ he whispered, as if I wasn’t already frozen. Slowly,
never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly,
but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the
base of my throat.”
As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In
Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover
a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful
Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling
the blood lust she arouses in him, because–he’s a vampire. At any moment,
the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes
over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward,
so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the
erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.-
Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human
and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in
school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic
young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the
gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders
about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in
the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward,
she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family
headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human
prey. For Edward’s sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group
of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate
pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and
delicacy of Meyer’s writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations
of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction. Patty
Campbell
From School Library Journal
Headstrong, sun-loving, 17-year-old Bella declines her mom’s invitation
to move to Florida, and instead reluctantly opts to move to her dad’s
cabin in the dreary, rainy town of Forks, WA. She becomes intrigued
with Edward Cullen, a distant, stylish, and disarmingly handsome senior,
who is also a vampire. When he reveals that his specific clan hunts
wildlife instead of humans, Bella deduces that she is safe from his
blood-sucking instincts and therefore free to fall hopelessly in love
with him. The feeling is mutual, and the resulting volatile romance
smolders as they attempt to hide Edward’s identity from her family and
the rest of the school. Meyer adds an eerie new twist to the mismatched,
star-crossed lovers theme: predator falls for prey, human falls for
vampire. This tension strips away any pretense readers may have about
the everyday teen romance novel, and kissing, touching, and talking
take on an entirely new meaning when one small mistake could be life-threatenin-
g. Bella and Edward’s struggle to make their relationship work becomes
a struggle for survival, especially when vampires from an outside clan
infiltrate the Cullen territory and head straight for her. As a result,
the novel’s danger-factor skyrockets as the excitement of secret love
and hushed affection morphs into a terrifying race to stay alive. Realistic,
subtle, succinct, and easy to follow, Twilight will have readers dying
to sink their teeth into it. Hillias J. Martin, New York Public Library-
From Booklist
*Starred Review* In the tradition of Anne Rice and YA titles such as
Annette Curtis Klause’s The Silver Kiss (1999) comes this heady romance
that intertwines Bella Swan’s life with that of Edward, an alluring
and tormented vampire. Bella’s life changes when she moves to perpetually
rain-soaked Forks, Washington. She is instantly drawn to a fellow student,
Edward Cullen, beautiful beyond belief and angrily aloof. Bella senses
there is more behind Edward’s hostility, and in a plot that slowly and
frighteningly unfolds, she learns that Edward and his family are vampires–thou-
gh they do not hunt humans. Yet Edward cannot promise that his powerful
attraction to Bella won’t put in her in danger, or worse. Recklessly
in love, Bella wants only to be with Edward, but when a vicious, blood-lusting
predator complicates her world, Bella’s peril is brutally revealed.
This is a book of the senses: Edward is first attracted by Bella’s scent;
ironically, Bella is repelled when she sees blood. Their love is palpable,
heightened by their touches, and teens will respond viscerally. There
are some flaws here–a plot that could have been tightened, an overreliance
on adjectives and adverbs to bolster dialogue–but this dark romance
seeps into the soul. Ilene Cooper
Book Description
Deeply sensuous and extraordinarily suspenseful, TWILIGHT captures the
struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This
is a love story with bite. Isabella Swans move to Forks, a small, perpetually
rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever
made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen,
Isabellas life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now,
Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small
community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella,
the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced
precariously on the point of a knifebetween desire and danger.
