Mini Review: Eclipse

This is the best of the series so far. I really appreciated the effects and action scenes since those were the ones that kept me awake! (Hey, it was late in the evening) Curiously, the “romantic” scenes made me laugh instead of making me swoon over Edward. If found it really cheesy! I guess the fanatic in me just died away. When Twilight first came out I was in love with Edward. But that phase has passed (thankfully) and I’ve seen the light! I am now officially Team Jacob! lol! Kidding aside, I still couldn’t get over the fact that a hundred year old immortal would be hopelessly devoted to a boring, plain, awkward teenager.

Anyhow, the story this time around focuses on the love triangle between Edward, Bella and Jacob. As the  outside threats draw in closer (the Volturi and Victoria’s newborn army), the Cullens  and  the Quiluetes must work together to protect the still mortal Bella Swan.

As usual, the acting range was very limited. Rob just kept pouting and furrowing his brows, Kristen still looks stoned and Taylor just distracted me each time he came up on screen without a shirt on. Dakota and the rest of the Volturi didn’t look sinister much, only bored.

I also don’t understand why there were lots of close up shots when everyone knows it will only magnify the layer upon layer of white makeup on the vampires. That made it look more fake! And why did the vampires crack when their heads got chopped off? I mean, I get that they’re cold and stone like, but did it have to be that literal? I thought you had to INCINERATE the bodies for them to die and not just merely dismembered?

Though there are obvious flaws in the movie and in the story itself, I quite enjoyed watching Eclipse. Just because I made fun of it doesn’t mean I didn’t like it. *lol* I give this movie 3 1/2 popcorns.

I’m loving those black ankle boots on Kristen.

And thank heaven she’s not wearing this horrible green thing:

i love how awkward they look in this photo! lol!

pretty dress kristen, but what’s up with the hair? I get that you’re playing Joan Jett in a movie, but this is just not acceptable. There’s such a thing called hair extensions you know. :p

Rob seems a bit protective of her in this pic:

poor Taylor looks like the proverbial third wheel! aww!

Taylor, Kristen and Rob answers some questions.

I hate that person who asked about KStew and Rob’s “real-life” chemistry. That was numerous levels of awkward in my book.

And here’s a clearer video from ET.

So hot!

Entertainment tonight “New Moon” feature, part 1

I’m so excited to watch the ET episode tonight because they are finally going to show their EXCLUSIVE sneak peek at NEW MOON!! *cartwheels*

The video on Popsugar can’t be embedded so just go to this link to watch the ET “teaser” vids. It has left me salivating for more!

My favorite bit was when the interviewer asked Rob: ” If you had a sister would you want her to date Edward or Jacob?” and he answered “Edward’s wealthier!” then laughs .

LOL! I love that ! He’s just keeping it real people! LOL!
