Twilight Saga Eclipse

Eclipse is a 2010 American romantic fantasy film based on Stephenie Meyer's 2007 novel, Eclipse. It is the third installment of The Twilight Saga film series, following the first movie Twilight in 2008  and the second movie New Moon back in 2009.

Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) attacks and bites Riley Biers (Xavier Samuel), in order to begin creating an army of newborns set to destroy Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart). Back in Forks, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella discuss the complications of becoming an immortal vampire. At 18 years old, one year older than the age Edward was when he became a vampire, Bella expresses her aversion to the idea of marrying so young, though Edward refuses to turn her until they are married and she has had various human experiences that she would otherwise miss out on. While Charlie Swan (Billy Burke) investigates the disappearance of Riley Biers, Edward suspects his disappearance was caused by the newborn vampires. Furthering his suspicions is the intrusion of Riley into Bella's room.
Although Edward fears for her safety, Bella insists that Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and the rest of the werewolf pack would never harm her, but Edward is still not convinced. Bella goes to La Push to see Jacob, and returns home unharmed. During one of her visits, Jacob confesses that he is in love with Bella, and forcefully kisses her. Furious, she punches him and breaks her hand, and Edward later threatens Jacob and tells him to only kiss her if she asks him to. Bella even revokes the invitations of Jacob and his pack members to her graduation party, but when Jacob apologizes for his behavior, she forgives him.

Meanwhile, Alice (Ashley Greene) sees a vision that the newborn army is attacking Forks led by Riley Biers. Jacob, accompanied by Quil (Tyson Houseman) and Embry (Kiowa Gordon) overhear this, which leads to an alliance between the Cullens and Wolf pack. Later, the Cullens and the wolves agree to a meeting place and time to train and discuss strategy. During the training Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) explains to Bella that he was created by a vampire named Maria to control a newborn army. He hated his original existence and upon meeting Alice, joined the Cullens with her. Bella sees the true bond between a mated vampire pair and begins to understand Jasper better. Despite her reluctance to marry, Bella realizes that spending eternity with Edward is more important to her than anything else and agrees to marry him. Edward and Bella camp up in the mountains to hide Bella from the bloodthirsty newborns. During the night, Bella overhears a conversation between Edward and Jacob, in which they temporarily put aside their hatred towards each other. In the morning, Jacob overhears Edward and Bella discussing their engagement and becomes very upset. Before he can run off to get himself killed in the fight with the newborns, Bella desperately asks him to kiss her, and she realizes that she has fallen in love with him. Edward finds out about the kiss but is not angry, as Bella says she loves him more than Jacob.

Victoria eventually finds Bella's hiding spot, and Edward kills her while Seth kills Riley. The Cullens and the Quileute wolves, meanwhile, destroy her "army", though Jacob is injured saving Leah Clearwater from a newborn. Several members of the Volturi arrive to deal with the newborn army. They also see that the Cullens are guarding the newborn, Bree Tanner (Jodelle Ferland), who had refused to fight and surrendered to Carlisle. Jane (Dakota Fanning) tortures Bree to get information, then instructs Felix to kill her, despite the Cullens' efforts to spare her. When Jane notes that Caius will find it interesting that Bella is still human, Bella informs her that the date for her transformation has been set. Bella visits the injured Jacob to tell him that even though she is in love with him, she has chosen to be with Edward. Saddened by her choice, Jacob reluctantly agrees to stop trying to come between her and Edward.

Bella and Edward go to their meadow, where she tells him she has decided to do things his way: get married, make love, and then be transformed into a vampire. She also explains that she never has been normal and never will be. She goes on to explain that she's felt out of place her entire life, but when she is in Edward's world she feels stronger and complete. At the end of the story they decide they need to tell Charlie about their engagement.

Twilight New Moon

This is the sequel to Twilight and is also based on Stephenie Meyer's novel New Moon. This 130 minute movie finds Bella safe in bed having a dreamon what is her 18th birthday. In this dream Bella sees herself as an old lady. Bella expressed her unhappiness at growing older than her boyfriend, Edward. Who stop physically aging at 17. Alice throws Bella a birthday party at the house amongst the family. However, during the party while trying to unwrap Carlisle and Esme's gift Bella gets a paper cut. Jasper becomes so overwhelmed with the scent of her blood that he tries to kill her. Edward realizes the danger that he and his family could pose to Bella and as a result he completely ends the relationship. Edward and the rest of his family then move from Forks.
Bella becomes heartbroken and very depressed after Edward's breakup and departure. Charlie decides to send Bella to Jacksonville, FL to her mom. However, Bella refuses to go and agrees to start spending more time with her friends. After going to a zombie movie with Jessica, Bella sees a group of bikers. This reminds her of when Edward previously rescued her from an assault, and she sees his image warning her to stay away that it was dangerous. Bella discovers that all thrill-seeking activities evoke images of Edward's preserved image. She is also comforted by a deepening friendship with Jacob Black. Jacob helps to ease her pain over losing Edward. When Jacob suddenly begins avoiding her, Bella gets worse again. She then discovers he has become a werewolf, which is an age-old enemy to vampires. Jacob's pack members are on a constant patrol for Victoria, a vampire who wants to kill Bella just to avenge the death of her mate, James, by Edward's hand which leaves Jacob with very little time to spend with her. Bella returns to seeking thrill-inducing activities as a way to ease the pain

Through miscommunication, Edward believes that Bella has killed herself by jumping off a cliff into the ocean. Distraught over her supposed suicide, Edward then decides to travel to Italy to provoke the Volturi which is a powerful vampire coven that is fully capable of killing him. However, the Volturi decide he is too valuable as a vampire. However they will kill him only if he exposes himself  to humans as a vampire. Alice, Edward's sister, and Bella rush to Italy in hopes of saving Edward, and arrive just in the nic of time to stop him. It is then that Edward tells Bella that he has always loved her and only left to be able to protect her. However, the Volturi determine that Bella, a human who knows that vampires exist, must either be killed or transformed into a vampire herself. However, Alice stops the Volturi from trying to kill Bella by sharing her premonition with Aro, a Volturi elder who is able to read thoughts through a single touch, in which Bella has been transformed. Soon afterwards, they return back to Forks and Bella forgives Edward for leaving her. The Cullens vote in favor of Bella being transformed into a vampire, much to Edward and Rosalie's dismay. Later on, Jacob reminds Edward of the treaty that the Cullens made with the Quileute tribe: they will not attack each other, as long as the Cullens do not bite any humans. Which is an action necessary for Bella's transformation. This upsets Bella causing her to tell Jacob that he had no right to interfer and that it is her choice. The movie concludes with Edward telling Bella that he will change her into a vampire, but only if she marries him first.


I must say that I enjoy the chemistry that happens on screen between Isabella "Bella" Swan and Jacob Black. Showing Bella a glimpse of how things could be if Edward was not around. She also admits to Jacob that she loves him near the end of this movie.

Twilight

I like Stephanie Meyer’s book. I love the imagery that she used to draw the reader in. Her book is a excellent read that takes the reader to Forks, WA. I think when they turned the book into a movie that they director and producers did an excellent job staying true to the book. The cast was wonderful for the roles they were casted to play. I just think it is different and unusual to make a vampire sparkle. However at the same time it is nice to have a bit of a change of the usual Hollywood vampire movies. It is a blend of romance and mystery with the science fiction twist of Edward being a vampire. I love the line that says “So the lion fell in love with the lamb.” I fell that Robert Patterson made a good Edward. He has the good looks while at the same time he has a mysterious look to him. I think Kristen Stewart was a more than excellent choice to play Isabella “Bella” Swan. I like how she can look innocent while also being pretty and staying young. The music that the music director chose was very tasteful. I love during the baseball game you hear Muse’s Supermassive Blackhole. I also enjoy the song called Bella’s lullaby.  The other part of the movie that I like is the author Stephanie Meyer is in a scene at the diner.

The other thing I like is no matter what age you are you can at point relate to the characters in the movie. I have been told from other friends that Bella reminds them of me, which I always found to be interesting. I used to think I was more of Esme than Bella. I have just started to see what they mean. However I have noticed that you can relate to just about all the characters in the movie. A person can find parts of themselves in Edward, Bella, Jacob, Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Charlie Swan, Billie Black, Victoria, Laurent and even James.

If anyone is wanting to get their hands on a copy of the book or movie I would recommend Amazon.com or any local bookstore or Wal-Mart should have this selection. I also personally recommend getting the soundtrack which you can get at Amazon.com for pretty affordable.
