Fuyohh!!! Action packed sia...

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse


I think that this one will maybe at least maybe (again!) appeal a bit to those people who keep saying it's stupid, gay, boring, did I mention stupid?

I mean come on, at least there's a good team vs. bad team thing at the end like all the other movies out there which has two teams and they have this show down at the end with each team running at each other full tilt and then clashing swords and shields in an epic battle.

...

Yea... I didn't really believe I just said that.

My stand on this entire thing is this:
1.> The books
Were a okay read. When I was reading it, it was the best thing ever (OMGsss, I can't believe I'm saying this!). But after finishing the whole thing and given some time to repent (LOLZ), I do realize it was a bit derivative in the fact that it is some mushy romance novel trying to mimic a supernatural/fantasy novel. To an extent, it worked. I mean I do like the fact that there are different groups of 'vampires' and the lore behind that. But it was only dealt with in the last book and a very rushed dealing at that. Additionally, I tried picking it up to read again, book 1 I could stomach, books 2 and 3 are just plain... painful, I wanted to shoot myself. Book 4 first part was agonizing (Shooting myself again), second part was palatable. So... there...

2.> The movies
I love Twilight. I really did. Maybe it was the timing of when I watched it, maybe I was in a very melancholy mood at the moment, who knows. But I did like it. It was subtle, it was moving, it had some action (Which some say was when the movie started) and it had a reasonably good ending. New Moon on the other hand, was bloody horrible. There was no plot! (Much like the book) It just moved from Bella being miserable to Bella still being miserable to MORE Bella still being miserable. I think it was trying to be subtle (Like the first movie), but it got wayyyy tooo overboard and took any fun out of it! And Jacob was boring as hell! Maybe it's cause I don't appreciate his muscular pecs, but he was so god damn boring to watch! Only saving grace of this movie (And the first one maybe) was Alice!!! Alice!!! Alice!!! And did I mention Alice!!?? XD

Much longer post than I intended to post. Took 15 minutes. Damn. I gotta go. ^^;;

EDIT:
Just saw this at... R.AGE? Not sure what that site is... but anyway...

Beastly


First thought before watching it was, what kind of stupid movie is this. Then saw the trailer, then thought, huh, wasn't what I expected. Although now I think it's a play on Beauty and the Beast concept. ^^

But there's one reason why this movie may be quite good (I didn't want to say great). Neill Patrick Harris!!!!!!! Who expected me to say Vanessa Hudgens? XD
