Movie+Romance=AWESOME
Since Valentine’s Day was yesterday, and I’m a sucker for romance, I figured today’s movie stuff would be lovey-dovey.
Here we go….
I sat down at my desk and asked myself, “What are ten of my favorite love story movies.”
And this is what I came up with (no particular order):
What are some of your favorite lovey-dovey movies??

Now…onto the movie.
Synopsis from IMDB:The Quileute’s close in on expecting parents Edward and Bella, whose unborn child poses a threat to the Wolf Pack and the towns people of Forks
My Review:
Oh wow. I really liked this. When the movie release was nearing, I started wondering where they’d cut it off…and I had an idea.
I guessed it. I won’t say where in case you haven’t seen it, but it was totally predictable–BUT TOTALLY good. They ended the movie RIGHT where they needed to. Got me all ready for the next one.
This first part was really just a set up to the second part as far as I was concerned. I really got the sense of their love story, which is cool with me (I mean, I am a romance writer, you know–LOL).
This one seemed to follow the book more in my opinion. I remember while reading the book how she jumped into Jake’s POV and I was like, wait, huh? And I could kinda tell that here in the movie, too.
Compared to the other movies, the action scenes seemed better as well as the special effects. And, wow, how they did the birth scene and stuff. Right on. I’m so excited for the next part to come out to see how they wrap everything together compared to the books.
I’ll have to give Breaking Dawn Five Tickets:

Are you ready for the chaos?
Breaking Dawn releases tomorrow.
Are you ready for the chaos?
Are you ready for the Team Jacob and Team Edward madness?
I must admit, I AM. I know, you’re shaking your head right now. But if you’ve been following this blog for any length of time, you already know I’m kind of a dork, so that’s okay.
I’ve read the books. I love them. The story is awesome. The movies have been pretty good.
But I’m not crazy enough to go to a midnight showing or anything. **LOL** I’ll wait until things cool down a bit (if that’s possible the hype is so huge on this) then check it out with my BFFs. 🙂

Blurb from IMDB:
As a string of mysterious killings grips Seattle, Bella, whose high school graduation is fast approaching, is forced to choose between her love for vampire Edward and her friendship with werewolf Jacob
~~~
So, you had to know we’d review this one, right? It’s the latest craze. We quick saw it before I left for England so we could review it on CSO for ya!
My Review:
Oh boy. This breaks my heart to say, but I was somewhat disappointed.
I’m sorry. Really. I am a total Twilight fan, you know that. But, what the heck was up with all the corny wigs? Really. Even Bella Swan. . . looked like her hair was a wig. And Victoria? Ugh, first they have a different actress playing the part, but the hair is just too far gone. . . The worst, though, was Jasper. Why can’t he just have normal hair? His scene was just…well…stiff.
Total bummer.
I liked how they did the back story into the tribe and the wicked-awesome fighting scenes. Nice CG. Loved the wolves. Edward still looked constipated pretty much the entire movie which totally bummed me out. You know who I really liked, ALICE. Yep, she was wicked-awesome this one. Despite the wig….LOL.
Overall, I have to rate it pretty high still because the story was pretty true to the book and, well, I just really love Twilight. It’s kinda like the books, I was able to overlook the over writing (come on, the books were WAY longer than they needed to be) because I was so invested in the characters. To me, that’s the most important thing while reading.
My rating:
4 tickets – See it and share it with a few friends~~~

Musical Monday
So, I watched New Moon again this weekend.
I needed some time to relax after a long week of work, so I vegged out, watched the movie for the umteenth time, and rested up.
It was perfect.
I had to Google this song, Possibility, by Lykke Li to check it out. The music in the Twilight series isn’t really my style, but a couple caught my attention.It’s so sad sounding, though. But then again, the Twilight movies are filled with emotional turmoil, right? LOL.

What is your idea of the perfect way to relax?
Oh, and are you getting ready for the June 30th premier of Eclipse?
