The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Movie Blurb by Shale July 1, 2010 I guess there really isn't much to say about this movie. Some ppl will like it and some won't. It is the third installment of the Twilight Saga with more to go. I've said it in previous installments of my blurb that this movie is PG-13 and made primarily for teen girls and that film critics should back off on trashing it unless they are a teen girl. Here's another guy who figured that out as well: "Sure, the dialogue is cheesy and unbelievable, the constant close-ups are melodramatic and the acting is unlikely to win any respectable awards, but it's hard not to get caught up in the high drama of it all. This franchise wasn't made for critics. Team Edward or Team Jacob? If you don't have an answer to that question, then who really cares what you think anyway?" - Cara Nash | FilmInk Australia That in mind, let me tell you that I liked this movie as I did the previous two and will anxiously await the next one in a year or so. Let's hope they are doing the obvious and filming simultaneously as the teen characters are aging and Vampires don't. Basically, this is a continuation of the Love Triangle of Bella (Kristen Stewart), Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and Edward (Robert Pattinson). Bella - Torn Between Two Lovers This movie will let you see the history of the Quileute Tribe of Werewolves and their longstanding hatred of and fighting with Vampires. It also fills in some of the history of the Cullen extended Vampire family - where some, tho young like Edward are from distant eras. Remember, Edward was turned in 1918, which explains why he doesn't take advantage of Bella like some modern day teen would. Bella & Edward Still an Item The action part comes from Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) putting together an army of newborn Vampires to get revenge on the Cullens for killing her lover in the first movie. We learn that newborn vampires have more strength and big appetites for blood. The Cullens know this Vampire army is coming and realize they can't fight it alone, so a tenuous truce is made with the Werewolves to join forces against the bad Vampires. Also, Bella with her primo blood scent is a Vampire target, so Jake and Edward reluctantly realize they have to share the duties of protecting her. Bella Still Has Feelings for Jake BTW, Taylor Lautner was often shirtless in this movie. In fact Edward in his rivalry with Jacob comments about whether he ever wears a shirt. We know the 18-year-old actor buffed up with 26 pounds of muscle for New Moon and it is a draw for the demographic of these movies. However Lautner told Us in 2009, "It's actually quite uncomfortable knowing so many people are seeing [my body]! It's a little bit embarrassing." (Oh, guess I'm for Team Jacob)
Sorry Bella, but Edward and Jacob are going to end up getting it on, I'll make the 5th movie myself if thats what it takes
i love twilight i cant wait to see it! woohooo.. i think Robert is nicer than taylor, Taylor loves himself too much... Robert seems down to earth and charmmiinnnggg
I've read all Twilight books, so I was excited to watch eclipse yesterday but I was disappointed. It was not "action-packed" as I imagined it would be. The build up was longer compared to the actual fight scene. It's a good thing Edward's stare and Jacob's muscles were there to distract me. __________________ hot tub |fireplaces for sale
I'm Addicted Yesterday I got off work a bit early and biked to the Cinema. Saw a late matinee of Twilight: Eclipse. Again. This week I watched videos of the first two Twilight movies. Again. Have I become obsessed? I understand the demographic audience of these movies and the books from which they derive. They are a manipulation of romantic feelings inherent in teen girls and young women. Some writers have been breaking down the phenomenon, such as Owen Gleiberman in the July 2nd edition of Entertainment Weekly: "... Either you’re a hater or you’re a Twihard. Either you identify with Bella Swan as a fresh and noble ordinary girl who has a small touch of the extraordinary about her — a lovely wallflower who blooms under the gaze of her courtly vampire beau — or you think that she’s a drippy, passive doormat in thrall to the kind of male-centric romanticism that should have died out around the time of Gone With the Wind. ... listening to the noisy battle of Team Rapture and Team I Can’t Stand This Garbage, is that the war of opinion over the Twilight saga isn’t just a disagreement about books and movies. It touches something deeper, something that pop culture has always touched and even defined: key questions of what love and sex and romance should look like and feel like, of what they should be. ... Bella’s story is, by nature, a meditative, even meandering one because it’s the story of how she wants to be acted upon, to be loved, desired, coveted, fought over, protected. A movie like Eclipse represents nothing less than a new and unambiguous embrace, by women, of the male gaze. ..." See the EW article here: http://movie-critics.ew.com/2010/07/02/eclipse-retro-or-just-backward/ Bella Carried To Safety by Jacob OK, this was an interesting article about how the saga of Bella and her flirting with two most dangerous male lovers, and her desire to join one of them goes against a whole generation of feminist thought. But the thing I have been trying to analyze is why would such a drama so affect an older male like myself. Well, there is that little "Bi" part of me that gasps just like the teen girls when Lautner takes off his shirt, but I'm thinking about the rest of the scenes, those slow-paced closeups, full of sighs and corny dialogue that moves me emotionally. I know the manipulation being played and yet allow myself to be manipulated by it. Of course that is why I go to so many movies, to escape the realities of the world by immersing myself into the fictional realms. Something like this makes me realize that I have been there, where Bella is. I have fallen for a guy and not just as an old perv who is enamored of cute young men but I have fallen for an older more experienced guy who was slightly crazy and perhaps even dangerous in a way. Drawn to him I was, like a moth to a flame and immersed myself in him. Perhaps it is my nature, my abandon to romance that allows me to get into the mindset of a teen girl falling in love with an ancient teen Vampire or a young hunk of a teen Werewolf. Love is taking risks. I have taken them a few times in my youth and can easily reconnect to that feeling thru the play of Bella, Jacob and Edward. So now, just waiting for the DVD of Eclipse to come out (I may see it again in theater) and for Breaking Dawn, the next installment of this ongoing saga. OK, next month I may even go get my fix with this spoof. (Hey, I am still a guy) Vampires Suck - Aug 18th https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHkPJ1ACLrg"]YouTube- Official Vampires Suck Trailer
