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 :)

There's Twilight Dolls, Twilight Body Shimmer, Twilight Band-Aids, and now... Twilight Lip Gloss!

So in case you haven't heard, the lipglosses are going around for $16, 2 lip glosses being the maximum for one buyer. It's the same brand they use on the set as well.


Here is how DuWop describes it: "Instead of a gloss, Lip Venom V is a shimmering crimson lip stain suspended in a venom-laced liquid lip conditioner with a bite, and contains argan, avocado, olive oils and vitamin E. This product should be shaken before use to represent the blending of the human and vampire worlds ..."



So are you going to buy it?

Sorry this took so long to get up. I have been working on other writing projects. So here it is, the long awaited Chapter 4.

I glanced around the room at everyone’s faces. They were all looking at Alice. Sheesh, I thought to myself Enough visions for one day! I knew my dad would have smiled if he wasn’t concentrating on what Aunt Alice was seeing so hard.
    In the same second, both there heads snapped up.
    “Soon” They whispered in synchronization....

Bella’s POV

It has been 5 days since I have talked to Edward he has been back and forth between my house and his. He has been helping me pack at night and during the day he goes back to Forks for school. I found out that Edward still loves me and he, Esme, and Carlisle have missed me. I have been talking to Carlisle to figure out my story for why I moved there with out my parents. Alice came up with a great story saying that my parents died in a car crash and I have no family left. So I was sent to the Cullens because they are an old family friend. Esme has missed me so much that she wants...

“Dad, how’s it him?” I asked. “How can he be alive?”
He didn’t answer but continued to stare at the broken pieces as if he could see Loren there.
“How is he alive?” I demanded. “I killed him! I put a bullet through his brain! I saw his dead eyes!”
The fear was back as it no longer needed to be squashed as my mother wasn’t here. I was panicking. The guy I had killed had called me to tell me he was coming to kill me. That did not happen!
“Kayla calm down,” Charlie said. “There’s no need to panic.”
“There’s every need,” I said. “I don’t know if you noticed...

I ran as fast as I could towards Bella's scream. Alice was left behind. I ran faster and faster until I was a couple of yards away from HER.
"Hold it, EDWARD," sneered Victoria. Her teeth were glistening as she opened her mouth and put it dangerously close to Bella's throat. Bella was in pure terror. She was breathing reggedly, her heart was trying to break free, and I saw tears flowing down.
"Bella, don't move," I said. Victoria put her mouth closer.
"I wouldn't talk, pretty boy. It'll kill her faster, and that would be less fun."
Bella struggled. Then she cringed as Victoria tightened her grip...

I know most of you girls wrote your own, I'm doing nothing original, yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm bored and had an idea that's been bothering me. What if Bella went home crying, instead of trying to follow Edward? And what if Edward was still there? I love breaking Edward's heart. Hey, I like Jacob! I can't help it! Anyways, my stories go way off track! ;-)

Now, on to the story!

Bella was crying. I was going to run, when Bella turned away. She walked silently towards her house. I heard the faint click of the doorknob. Then I was the only one outside. The emotions fell upon me,...

This isn’t my story it’s my sisters, but I’ve got free lessons at 6th form so I’ve got more time then my sister (cullen171717) I’ve helped to improve some of it, but the ideas are my sisters. Let me know what you think. It’s set about 40-50 years after breaking dawn ends.
Part 1.
I’m bored. I told myself for the thousandth time. There isn’t anything on TV, Edwards gone hunting with Emmett and Jasper, and I can’t find any of the others anywhere. Renesmee has gone off with Jacob on a second honeymoon to the Amazon to visit Zafrina and Senna.
Alice appeared out of thin air, holding...

I can feel my self loosing breath. The look on his face leaves me speachless. His eyes feel cold for their warm color. I can almost see the wheels turning in his head.

"Whats wrong with me?" I ask as I reach for his hand. His head jurks to the side when Billy calls out his name. He immediatly jumps up and quickly gets to the door.

"I'll be back Rennesme." He says quietly as he leaves the room. I can't help but look away. I mean I know I have not been hungry and the scent of blood has made me feel sick but it can't be that bad can it?. My stomach turns as i think over what just happend. I can...

>>>>>Jane is a sadistic guard of the Volturi and a pet of Aro's. She seems rather bitter and easily justifies inflicting pain on anyone with her power. Jane has a twin brother named Alec and they both reside in Volterra, Italy.

When frightened humans tried to burn the twins at the stake, because of witchcraft. Because of all she went through this is why she has this power. Aro was forced to...

Hey ... This is different to the twilight sage. It has all the characters in it but Bella and Edward meet differently (: hope you like it :D



Chapter one



I woke up already dreading the day ahead. All i had to do was eat, go to school and sleep again. Fun.
I decided to wake myself up with a shower. So i went in and turn the hot water on. I let it soothe all my muscles when i heard my mum shout up.
"Bella your going to be late hurry up!" I sighed and turned of the shower. I quickly got dressed into my favourite pair of jeans and green top. I tied my hair up without drying it. With a quick glance...

Chapter 5: Embracing Your Inner Succubus

When we got back to our villa, it was pitch black out. Jake carefully laid me down on the bed. “Nessie, I think that we should go home, you really don’t look well at all.” I tried to sit up but the dizziness overtook me and I lay back down. “I’m fine,” I croaked. “I just need to eat something I will be all right.” Jake stood up, “I am giving you until tomorrow if you are not better we are out of here. I am going to get you something to eat.” I held my hand out and stopped him. “I didn’t want anything from the fridge. “I want...

I plugged in my headphones, hoping it would help to pass the next ten to fifteen minutes of the flight, and listened to the lullaby i had composed for my sweetheart. My heart was already broken - might as well break it some more.
I hummed the tune of Bella's lullaby, and felt eyes passangers on my face, as my lips trembled and my eyelids twitched to a close. I imagined Bella and I dancing at the prom last year. I managed a bare smile as i noticed Bellas feet lifted from the floor. But the smile faded as she collapsed to the ground and her heartbeat came to a halt, That was NOT supposed to happen....

Here is another chapter :D



Chapter seven



Before i even turned around i knew who it was. A growl burst through my lips before i could stop it. The only reason i left was to protect them but they come here anyway.
"What are you doing here?" I hissed at them through my teeth. My anger was slowly building up.
"Do you really think i would miss out on a fight!" Of course Emmett was amused by the situation. I growled at him.
Then Edwards hands ran down my arms. I knew it was him because of how my body reacted to his touch. I turn round slowly but i couldnt look into his eyes. I couldnt look and see...

-Renesmee-

By the time we landed for THE LAST TIME, I was really tired, despite sleeping like a rock the entire time.

"Emmett is going to personally ensure your permanent skin tone becomes bright red," Jacob remarked.

I scowled at him; I hated that I blushed so frequently.

"But I like it," he grinned. "It makes you look cute."
"Are you on his side or mine?" I almost growled at him. I was NOT in the mood for this.
"Yours," he said, still grinning.
"Great. Then please be more supportive."
"Yes, ma'am," he said, saluting me.
"Whatever," I mumbled as we stepped into the cab.

* * *

By the time we reached Forks, I was still incredibly tired.

The last thing I remembered was steeping out of the cab, and making it eight steps before my legs folded underneath me and Jacob's warm arms catching me before I fell.

I blinked my eyes closed, too exhausted to move.

-Renee-

It's been almost twenty years since I had to see my own daughter. Dead. I had been in to identify her, and make myself believe the unbelievable. But I had barely held it together when I saw her.

The Cullens had been miserable, Edward seemed the one who was hating himself the most.

I didn't go to her funeral. I hadn't wanted to see it.

My daughter had died eighteen years ago, and I was starting to forgive myself for not seeing her alive since her wedding day, when someone rang the doorbell.

I answered the door, not expecting anyone special.

A beautiful girl, maybe, eighteen, nineteen,...

When I looked up, Renesmee was standing in the doorway. Slowly, I crossed the room and put my arms around her waist. Her lips met mine, and I hugged her closer.

* * *

When I woke up, Renesmee was facing me, her pale arms clutched the duvet to her chest. Her eyes were closed, and she was breathing lightly and evenly. The light of the sunrise filtered through the glass, and cast Renesmee in a spotlight. She was glowing.

I glanced at the digital clock, and noticing that it was quarter to seven, I got up very quietly and slowly so as not to wake her up.

I had a shower in the bathroom at...

Chapter 37: Sacrifices of the Heart (Jacob’s POV)

“Renesmee!” I growled as I tried to break free of the power that the little Volturi vampire had over me but it was no use. I watched in horror as Seth lay crumpled on the ground, and Renesmee and Amore were out of my reach. I closed my eyes and in my mind I shouted, “Edward where the hell are you!” I wished that I was in wolf form so that I could call for Leah, and Sam’s pack. Yet part of me was secretly glad that I couldn’t involve them, it would have been a senseless massacre. We couldn’t beat them alone not with Jane and Alec’s...

Second story for tonight :)

End of Part 30

I looked over at Rosalie and motioned for her to stay where she was. She shook her head no, she was not going to let me go alone...which I understood. I nodded and began climbing down, trying to be as quiet as I could.

I met Rosalie on the ground and grabbed her hand. It may have only been a few minutes but being away from her was uncomfortable, I felt whole with her there next to me.

"Fine! I will keep my voice down but someone needs to give me answers...and soon." Ben sneered.

"Stay here for now please. I will let you know when to come out, just please...

Chapter 33: the Babysitter

I woke up slowly and when I noticed I wasn’t in my bed I was slightly alarmed. I looked
around as my eyes opened more and remembered that I was in Jake’s room. I smiled as I noticed the picture of us from my birthday party that he had on his nightstand. “How cute,” I thought to myself. There was a knock at the door and I looked up to see Jake fully dressed and showered, “morning princess.” He said he held two cups of coffee in his hand I smiled at him and then I remembered what happened last night. I had made a total fool out of myself in front of him....
