5 Facts About The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Fact #1: It's Darker

The brand new poster for Eclipse (above) hints at a darker tone with its brooding storm clouds. With 30 Days of Night director David Slade at the helm, it's unsurprising. "Every movie is different because we work with a different director on each one, which I love," Taylor Lautner tells RT. "David Slade is perfect for the third film because it's darker. Eclipse was my favourite book."
 

Ashley Greene, who plays vampire Alice, tells RT that Slade isn't just a prince of darkness. "David is actually hysterical," she laughs, "He has such a dry sense of humour that sometimes you don't know if he's kidding or not. Eclipse will be amazing because he has made it far edgier and more dramatic. It's going to look very cool."

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!

I know I don't talk about HP very much, but anyone who knows me well enough knows that I love, love, love, love this series! July 15th simply cannot get here soon enough. I own all the current movies (and have watched them more times than what is probably considered healthy) and of course all of the books as well. One of the reasons why I prefer HP over any of the other series is because how intricately detailed the storyline is. I love Twilight, I [obviously] love the characters, but the initial movie was developed and made for anyone to follow. Harry Potter, on the other hand, has lots and lots of undercover bits and pieces to the story, ones which only someone who really gets into it would notice. Overall, the story, though very different, is unarguably much more developed. I've included one of many sneak previews I came across for the HP6 that's being released in a month for all to see and enjoy!

Top Five: Funny Movie Quotes

4. "Janice, I apologize to you if I don't seem real eager to jump into a forced awkward intimate situation that people like to call dating. I don't like the feeling. You're sitting there, you're wondering do I have food on my face, am I eating, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested I'm not really interested, should I play like I'm interested but I'm not that interested but I think she might be interested but do I want to be interested but now she's not interested? So all of the sudden I'm getting, I'm starting to get interested... And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door cause then it's awkward, it's like well goodnight. Do you do like that ass-out hug? Where you like, you hug each other like this and your ass sticks out cause you're trying not to get too close or do you just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don't kiss them at all? It's very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while you're just really wondering are we gonna get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions?

5. "I don't know. Listen to Jim Croce, play darts... whatever the hell else you white people do." - Starsky & Hutch

The Top Five: Latest Movies

When I first started college many eons ago I used to write a weekly/daily top-five list of things I really liked or things that happened/were said that were worthy of such a list. I believe that reinstating such a list is quite appropriate. I'm going to make my first top-five about recent movies I've seen. I'm not reviewing the movies (maybe one at most) but I'll be listing them in hopes that someone out there in blog-reading land comes across my nifty top-fives and then further indulges in said listed items. I'll include an external link to IMDB (which I am completely obsessed with) so that one can gain a further understanding of the general synopsis. The link will be the year following the title. And without further ado, the first of it's kind: 1. Bickford Shmeckler's Cool Ideas, 2006. Patrick Fugit = An unconventional hot. Need I say more? 2. Noel, 2004. 3. The Banger Sisters, 2002. I particularly liked this one because it reminds you to not forget who YOU are as a person. I loved Goldie Hawn in this. Excellent movie. 4. St. Elmo's Fire, 1985. 5. Lords of Dogtown, 2005.
