Product Description
Summit Twilight (Blu-ray)The big-screen adaptation ofTwilight, Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire romance, is aimed squarely at its key demographic: teen girls whose idea of Prince Charming is a brooding, pale, undead teen who could kill you instantly at any moment. Such a prince is more fascinating than frightening to new girl Bella Swan (KristenStewart), who moves to the rainy-gray town of Forks, Wash., to live with her dad (Billy Burke), thelocal sheriff who's puzzled by a series of "animal attacks." On her first day at school, Bella appears to (visibly) nauseate her lab partner, Edward (Robert Pattinson). Turns out the scent of her blood is this vampire's "brand of heroin," and his struggle not to kill her causes an irresistible pulltoward her. Whether he's attracted for the normalreasons or because she smells especially sweet tohim is vague in the book and even less clear on-screen; nonetheless, Bella falls hopelessly in lovewith Edward, which sets her on a dangerous path when a few nomad vampires show up in town, one particularly keen on tracking the human. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen), Twilight is full offunny moments--not all of which are intentional--and the casting, from Stewart to Bella's self-absorbed friend Jessica (Anna Kendrick) is spot-on.

Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen), Twilight is full of funny moments--not all of which are intentional--and the casting, from Stewart to Bella's self-absorbed friend Jessica (Anna Kendrick) is spot-on. The weakest link, unfortunately, is Pattinson. While he certainly looks the part, his Edward could have used an extra injection of testosterone (Pattinson, who is British, used James Dean as a model for his American accent). In scenes where he growls about the temptation to kill those who would harm Bella, or flitting around a forest warning her how dangerous he is, he comes off more like a whimpering puppy than a debonair monster. The good news is, his chemistry with Stewart (particularly in their big kissing scene) is palpable, which, let's face it, is really what matters to Twilight fans most. --Ellen A. Kim
On the DVD
The special features for Twilight kick off with an audio commentary with director Catherine Hardwicke and stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. There's some mumbling and groaning from Stewart (one gets the impression that Stewart is quite similar to her reserved character in the film), some standard behind-the-scenes observations from Hardwicke, and a lot of awkward self-deprecating remarks from Pattinson (of their big kiss, he opines: "This is quite difficult 'cause I have a really flat head, and so it's quite difficult to get a correct angle."). What's funny is Pattinson stumping Hardwicke with some basic plot questions, like "Why doesn't James just kill [Bella when she's packing at her house]?" While Hardwicke and Stewart attempt to answer, Pattinson doesn't appear satisfied. The deleted and extended scenes include an additional dream-sequence kiss (rightly cut because it took away from the buildup to their first kiss) and more footage of Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre). The seven-part documentary is a pretty thorough look at the development of the film, including stunts, special effects, and the involvement of author Stephenie Meyer. Another featurette looks at the Comic-Con frenzy; however, it spends no time on how the actors were cast, which would have been fun for fans who did all their own mental casting while reading the books. Also included: three music videos and trailers. --Ellen A. Kim Twilight at Amazon.com

Twilight
By: Aamani Brown
I'm not big fan of vampires, but "Twilight" had changed my view.
The plot is about a girl named Bella moved with her dad, and
she starts liking a boy named Edward. Then she realize, he starts acting weird. Then she discovered he was a vampire, but she wasn't scared of what he was.
It was a great movie because it looked realistic to me. The actors was really into their role.

Love the books and the movies even if the movies cant be exactly like the books!I really like the 2 disc special editions because they have all the commentary and they tell you why they dident put certain things in the movies. It just gives you a better perspective on the story line.So if you like the books you should deffinatly buy the 2 disc versions!Although my husband doesent like them, i dont think many Men do!

Great movies. Cinematic masterpieces that have shaped generations, and the way we see movies. There's The Godfather, Lawrence of Arabia, Rocky, Patton, Star Wars, The Magnificent Seven, Indiana Jones... And Twilight. There it sits. Being adored by hundreds of thousands of teenagers all over the world, and for what? The acting is certainly sub-par, the directing sucks and the script is even worse. Yet people gush over it the minute you bring it up. WHY?!
The only redeemable value I found in this movie is the soundtrack and the score. Though the fact that it's 1 down and only 3 more to go until the hysteria is over doesn't exactly hurt either... I guess the movie would have been better had the director not taken out half of what made the book halfway decent (I emphasize HALFWAY!); which she did, stupidly. Another thing that would be nice is if Robert would learn how to open his damn mouth when he speaks! Half of the time, you can't understand what on earth he is saying. And Kristen needs to learn to shut her mouth instead of leaving it gaping open all of the time. Maybe she's trying to make up for the fact that Robert never seems to open his, who knows.
I guess my review boils down to this: Exceptionally bad movie, bad acting, bad script-writing, bad plot, bad directing, and a bad book. PLEASE DON'T FEED INTO THE FRENZY!! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!! TURN BACK WHILE THERE'S STILL A CHANCE!!!!!!
 pretty good February 9, 2010
