Edward protecting Bella from Victoria
Edward protecting Bella from Victoria
The final trailer for Eclipse was released earlier today. I'm sure everyone has watched it now. I saw it earlier today and it's finally sunken in. Since I did a review on the first trailer, I thought I should do a review on this one too :)

My overall thought on the trailer? I loved it!
The cinematography, again, is beautiful. More so than New Moon! However, I have to point this out: Like the other movies, there is a certain color tone to this movie.

If you have seen the director, David Slade's, other works such as '30 Days of Night', it has a grayish tint. From the first trailer and the recent trailer, it looks like there will be a grayish-blue tint in Eclipse. Do you like or hate the tint?

Again, the landscapes are beautiful! And the taglines, I will talk about them later on :)

I can't really say anything without repeating myself from my earlier review, so let's move onto the review of the scenes!

Positives first! and I'll try and go in order haha

Positives:
- (0:08-0:10) Again, clean and neat logo. Then fades into the landscaping. More of the cooler tones with a hint of warm in the top left corner. I love that. So pretty!

- (0:21-0:23) The Seattle nightlight overview is different and darker than the other movies. It gives more of a realistic touch to the trailer and I love that! In New Moon, we saw Italy. But, it was so extravagant, a completely different culture, that it seemed almost mythical. However, the shot with Seattle, it's the city. It's not secluded, it's in a populated area and it gives an earthly feel, completely opposite of the two previous movies. Also, Edward's voice-over is great here too.

- (0:24-0:27) I like that they showed Riley being attacked. It shows that it's not all about sexy, hot guys. It adds a touch of danger to the movie. And, I like how it isn't revealed who is attacking him. Although, if you've read the books, which most of you have, you know who it is! haha I also like Riley's crying out in pain. Again, it's pointing out the danger.

- (0:46-0:48) The werewolves look great! Improved alot since New Moon.

- (0:54-0:58) Riley and the newborns emerging form the water... I'm not going to lie. When I first saw set pictures of this, I was afraid it would look cheesy. It had the potential to be either cheesy or chilling. And I thought it was rather chilling! haha But for the movie, we can't know for sure, depending on the score. Sometimes if the music is terrible, then the intention of the scene dies. Example: the Jasper snapping at Bella scene in New Moon. The music was awful there and it took away the intensity and horror of the scene in my opinion.

- (1:05-1:09) Both newborns and the Cullens running toward each other... talk about EPIC! I loved that they put that in and panned to Jasper's face. I don't know whether they were intentionally trying to show Jasper in the lead, but I'm glad he is. He takes the reigns and shows everyone how to fight the newborns and I liked that they panned to his face before cutting to another tagline.

- (1:11) I absolutely LOVE that we get to see Alice. Ashley Greene talked about how the Cullen's traits and mannerisms were shown in their fighting and their style, and her movement there in that second was very elegant and graceful. I was very pleased with that snippet.

- (1:14) One of my favorite parts of the trailer... Edward giving Bella the ring. That thing is massive though!

- (1:17-1:18) Victoria is being chased by Jasper. I just think it looks hardcore! I thought it had to be touched on a little in this review!

- (1:20-1:24) I think my favorite part of this trailer. Victoria is closing in on them. Edward guarding Bella. Then him pushing down the tree. Hardcore stuff! However, I don't remember there being that much snow in the book. I'll have to re-read but if memory serves, I don't think there was that much snow described. But as long as the scene is good, it won't matter to me. And if you look closely, when Edward is pushing the tree, his shirt has snow on it. I'm thinking the battle between him, Victoria and Riley had already ensued :) And another thing... look closely at 1:27-1:28... you can see wolf Seth tearing up Riley!

Negatives:
- (0:11-0:20) I don't hate this part, but I thought as an introduction, it wasn't the best. It could have been better I think. However, they showed the atmosphere of all three characters here: tense. There's no light moments when the three are together. Fire and Ice aren't compatable.

- (0:31) I'm sorry, but Carlisle's line, "Someone's creating an army", sounds British. I don't know if it's intentional or accidental, but Carlisle is not supposed to have an accent. Lol

- (1:29-1:32) I wouldn't consider this a 100% negative, but more of an observation. I love the concept of it. However, it does look like CGI. I hope it looks better in the movie. I mean, it still looks great, but it could be improved on. :)

I know I don't have some scenes included here, but I was indifferent about those and didn't really have anything to say about them.

The taglines, I thought were mild. It didn't tell of the storyline, but more of what is awaiting. Like "The motion picture phenomenon"..."The world is waiting for". There's going to be alot packed in this movie, that's for sure.

This trailer was filled with action. The first trailer, we got the love triangle. This one, it was more action-centered. I love all movies: Romance, action, comedy, etc. And action is a huge part of this movie. However, alot of people were diappointed that there wasn't any romance in this trailer. I, too, wanted more romance. *cough*Edward-and-Bella-in-bed*cough*....

But, I understand that Summit is trying to broaden the audience and try to appeal to more people other than Twilight fans. However, I don't think they could broaden the audience more! The fanbase is already huge. The box office always milks in money. The Twilight Series is Summit's cashcow. They're going to get money no matter what. However, Summit is always trying to milk it dry.

So this is my review! I was very much pleased with this trailer. As for the length, I thought it should have been longer since it was announced the final and theatrical trailer. However, some sites are introducing it as a "teaser 2"... So, guess we'll have to wait and see!

Comments are encouraged! If you agree, comment! If you disagree, comment! Love hearing input :)

“Bella no-one’s going to get hurts” Alice said taking my hand and leading me upstairs.

“BUT SHE MIGHT...”I said before her small hand covered my mouth.

“But nothing Bella, everyone will be ok, no one will get hurt. And as for you’re.....friend and his pack I’m pretty sure they can look after their selves.”

“Can I borrow your phone?” I asked her. She searched my facial expression and whatever it was she found made her give in.

Esme shot Rosalie a sneaky glare which I didn’t fail to catch.

“I’m so sorry for what I said to you and to my brother, it’s all my fault he’s dead and that you had to go see him and and....” Rosalie cried, falling to the floor before Emmett had time to catch her.

“It’s not your fault Rose. It’s my fault I should have got there earlier and stopped it all happening.”Alice comforted her.

I was so glad I had Hannah as a friend because if I didn’t I wouldn’t know what to do. The plane landed in Italy at last. “Well how are we going to get a car so we can drive up to volterra?”

“We could steal one” Esme just looked at me “What?”

“I thought leaving Carlisle was insane but stealing a car!”

“Do you want to find Edward?”

“Yes I do”

“Then stealing a car it is” Me and Esme went off to find a car we could steal. “How about this one?” Esme asked pointing do a red Porsche. “Ok” I got in the driver’s seat “How come you get...

I found the things to draw the dress with in the cabinet like she said. I set everything up and started to draw the outline. Everyone liked short here and the man had asked for summery type dress. I drew a short strapless dress with a ribbon round the top and round the bottom and then in strips going diagonally across. The dress its self was white and the ribbon was mint green. I looked at my drawing wondering if the man would approve. I decided he would and went out to show it to him. I would in to the reception again were the man was sat. “Well don’t you look...

The Social Security Adminstration recently released it's annual report of the most popular baby names. Or, should I say 'vampire' baby names? The results were quite interesting.

I wonder if Stephenie Meyer ever realized just how much her writings would impact the planet. With Meyer's wildly popular Twilight series holding phenom reign over the past couple of years, her books and the characters she created have actually influenced the most popular baby names of 2009...

According to HitFix, Academy Award winner Bill Condon will direct Breaking Dawn!



As reported earlier, Summit Entertainment has found its next “Twilight” filmmaker and now formally locked up Oscar-winner Bill Condon to direct “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.” While none of the stars have signed deals yet, the entire cast including Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are expected to return. This is possibly one reason the studio has not confirmed whether, as rumored, there will be one or two “Breaking Dawn” films.

Have you ever loved somebody so much, but you know you couldn't tell them? Have you ever felt like it would ruin what you already have together? It would just ruin your life? You just want to scream, "I love you, I always have, and I always will!" everytime you're with that person? I do. I do all the time. I've known this person forever.

He's my brother. Yes. I am in love with my brother. I always have. I always will. I realized my crush when my friends pointed out how cute he was back in seventh grade. I thought, "Eww!" at first. But I soon realized they were right. He was cuter than Taylor...

As soon as the
wolf was completely out of sight I shakily stood up and brushed myself off. When I got home everything was a little foggy I felt dazed but like
it never happened, did it happen? was it real? was it a dream? why didn't the wolf kill me? was there even a wolf there? was I going insane?
I know I couldn't tell anyone ,so I didn't. I knew my mom would think I was crazy, was I crazy? The rest of the night I kept on asking myself
these questions, knowing I wouldn't get any awnsers.

I entered the geometry room and took off my wet coat, which was moist from the rain, my long dark brown...

The room was silent , no-one spoke a word as i entered the room.
Tanna laid silent in the deepth of my hair.
A chilled palm rested on my shoulder, i turned.
"I can take her, if you want bell" Rose offered.
i tightened my grip on my baby. no i wanted to keep her, i needed something to hold on to, now with Edward.
"no it's ok Rose, i need her" i moaned silently.
I heard low groans and murmurs from Carlisle.
I scuffed my feet accross the floor.
I glided past Alice who seemed all healed, well that one down, one to go.

I lost all breathe, and stength in my legs, i felt esme's...

Seth was apologizing frantically for scaring me. The others had frozen. It looked like they felt bad for Seth and were anxious to see my reaction. “Sorry” I muttered. I really was sorry. I wasn’t going to change , but I was sorry. A part of me wanted to reach out my arms and let him swing me, but I didn’t.

Leah came for the last fifteen minutes or so. Talking with her was nice. She at least understood the dangers of vampires. I gradually learned that she and Sam had been in love before Sam had imprinted. I felt bad for her and the story helped me understand her better.

(Eclipse SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Team Jacob, hold on to your sleeping bags.

Chris Weitz, who directed New Moon, the second installment in the Twilight series, says he has read the script for this summer's third installment, Eclipse – and that one scene in particular is a scorcher.

"I'm looking forward to the sleeping bag scene, I gotta say," Weitz tells PEOPLE. "That's going to be very steamy."

In Eclipse's fan-favorite "tent scene," – spoiler alert! – a freezing Bella, who is on the run from evil vamp Victoria, gets a warm-up from werewolf Jacob when he squeezes into her sleeping bag – while...

Sequel to Breaking Dawn: Russet Noon
Sequel to Breaking Dawn: Russet Noon
Bella had Edward, and now they could love each other forever because of their immortality. And poor Jacob ‘imprinted’ on the child of the girl he once (as said in Breaking Dawn) loved, Bella. Everything was just perfect and everyone was happy. Everyone but us, Team Jacob Fans.

When I started reading Russet Noon, I couldn’t stop. That’s because I knew that it was the Twilight Universe in which Jacob got the girl.

Not only that, but the chapters and parts of the book that have been released on the website are amazing. They are so cliff-hang-y that they are just bound to lure you in. And you won’t be disappointed.

Taking in a painful breath, I crawled to a nearby payphone and stuck some change in it. I hadn't thrown away the paper with the vampire and werewolf contact information. I dialed the Cullen's home phone. I was scared that they would have moved. I knew they moved every few years just like I did so that no one would know they weren't aging. They used to live only a few miles from La Push (where the wolves lived). Now they were about an hour and a half away.

Someone answered on the first ring "Hello?" I struggled to form coherent sentences "Um... this is Juliet. I umm... met you a few months...

The little girl vampire (the child?) came up to me confidently. She reached toward me and touched my face. My arms flailed wildly as I tried to run My fingers brushed something cold. Then she was telling me without speaking that her name was Renesmee Carlie Cullen but most people just called her Nessie. She wasn't dangerous. She usually didn't show humans what she could do but everyone seemed to act like themselves around me. Was I a wolf person? Or a shield like her mama? Was her uncle Jasper alright?
