Movie Review: Twilight (2008)

You Better Hold On Tight, Spidermonkey

Arguably the best line in the movie, “You better hold on tight, spidermonkey,” says Edward as he climbs up the bark of a redwood with Bella on his back. And as they continue on through the forest, jumping, flying, arriving at high mast to overlook a scene of enormous, mountainous beauty, you would never guess that it was all CGI. These days, however, I’m beginning to accept that most of it is. See: Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, although Harry Potty is worse in that it’s overly colorful and horribly childish. It’s actually quite disturbing to find so many comparisons of Twilight to Potter, most presumably due to the furor engulfing followers of both. Is it too much to recognize the vast difference between the two? If I were part of the production of Twilight, I’d be pretty annoyed at America (although I can think of a kajillion other reasons to be annoyed at America, but that’s beside the point).

Fans of the book would be horrified at the adaptation on the screen. What is a clumsy, humorous protagonist character in the book is portrayed as sullen and lost, only to be found by her true vampire love (awe), which was probably what Melissa Rosenberg (screenwriter) wanted and Stephanie Meyer (novelist) hates. If you hadn’t read the book (and I hadn’t, sorry) then you might actually enjoy it far more (like i did).

The problems in the movie have nothing to do with acting or portrayal; nobody overdoes it, nobody falls short. Neither does any cinematography exhibit a lack of skill. The downfalls are found in the teeny-bopper, sexy soundtrack and the tag-line dialogue in the villains. This is a movie for 13 year old girls. And its overtones of sexuality are a little.. vague. My point being that if you’re going to go that route, why not go all the way and have some lesbian kissing? That way you’d reel in not just the girls but the boys too!

Alas, I’m glad you didn’t, because while the ridiculousness of the plot — girl is lonely, girl meets boy, boy is vampire, vampires are dangerous, girl learns the hard way.. and nothing has a logical explanation to it… maybe that’s what makes it good, that it’s a fantasy.

One of the most important concepts some filmmakers have trouble understanding is the color scheme of the storyboard. Twilight does not make this mistake. While it’s vivid, dreamy, and dark it’s also very colorful without losing faith in itself, a forest hue bundle that never fades. Another great example of this is Memento and, in fact, there’s some talk of it in the DVD extras. Ultimately, color-scheming is a marketing ploy and you can see the same scheme on the website for New Moon, although New Moon has a more sepia tone drawn in. Yet another example is The Illusionist. Come to think of it, the color scheme is exactly the same in the Illusionist.

Anyhoo, this is not an A1 movie. Neither is it bottom-of-the-barrel. The toughest part on the filmmakers must have been squeezing a 544 page book into a two hour movie, which is sort of long for teenagers. However, it reels in your inner teenage girl and doesn’t tire, even through the credits while Radiohead plays (scarily) and then moves to one of the worst Linkin Park songs I think I’ve ever heard.

In the second installment of Stephenie Meyer’s phenomenally successful TWILIGHT series, the romance between mortal and vampire soars to a new level as BELLA SWAN (Kristen Stewart) delves deeper into the mysteries of the supernatural world she yearns to become part of—only to find herself in greater peril than ever before.

Following Bella’s ill-fated 18th birthday party, EDWARD CULLEN (Robert Pattinson) and his family abandon the town of Forks, Washington, in an effort to protect her from the dangers inherent in their world. As the heartbroken Bella sleepwalks through her senior year of high school, numb and alone, she discovers Edward’s image comes to her whenever she puts herself in jeopardy. Her desire to be with him at any cost leads her to take greater and greater risks.

With the help of her childhood friend JACOB BLACK (Taylor Lautner), Bella refurbishes an old motorbike to carry her on her adventures. Bella’s frozen heart is gradually thawed by her budding relationship with Jacob, a member of the mysterious Quileute tribe, who has a supernatural secret of his own.

When a chance encounter brings Bella face to face with a former nemesis, only the intervention of a pack of supernaturally large wolves saves her from a grisly fate, and the encounter makes it frighteningly clear that Bella is still in grave danger. In a race against the clock, Bella learns the secret of the Quileutes and Edward’s true motivation for leaving her. She also faces the prospect of a potentially deadly reunion with her beloved that is a far cry from the one she hoped for. With more of the passion, action and suspense that made TWILIGHT a worldwide phenomenon, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON is a spellbinding follow-up to the box office hit.

The Atmosphere of the Twilight Books and Movies Echoed in Jewelry

Ever hear rustling sounds outside your window at night, but when you shine a light nothing is there? Or odd noises down the hallway? There are strange creatures about, particularly in the world of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series of novels and the movies on which they are based.  In Forks, Bella soon discovers the existence of vampires and werewolves and falls in love with a certain handsome and gentlemanly vampire named Edward. As a twist, Bella finds herself in romantic entanglement with the werewolf Jacob, also conveniently ruggedly handsome in human form. The story evolves as Bella learns much more about the fascinating and frightening ways of vampires and werewolves.   

The signs and symbols of Twilight are strong reminders of the narrative’s power.  Bella’s moonstone ring echoes the timeless “life” of the vampire and her engagement ring is reminiscent of the sparkling skin of Edward in the sunshine.  Wolf rings evoke the strength and speed of Jacob and the other werewolves.  Or admire a wolf necklace or a charm of a running or howling wolf.  Wear twilight charms depicting Isle Esme, where Bella and Edward honeymooned, or a charm of their baby daughter, Renesmee.  Those drawn to the atmosphere and landscape of Twilight can wear a charm of a Redwood tree or Forks High School.  Buy a charm depicting Jacob’s old jalopy truck or his motorcycle. Show your love of Twilight by wearing a part of it every day. And don’t be surprised the next time you hear a bump in the night!

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ Soundtrack Set to be Released on June 8

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ Soundtrack Set to be Released on June 8

Atlantic Records, the music company that earned the exclusive rights of distributing the album, just confirmed that the soundtrack to the “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” film will hit the stores two weeks before the film opens in the US of A on the 30th of June. Though the date is set for the extremely anticipated “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” compilation album, it’s still unknown for keen Twilight Soundtracks Fans who will make the cut.

Some anticipated artists are the “Twilight Saga” phenomenal author Stephenie Meyers’ personal choice, UK rockers, Muse, that while preparing a “love song” for the release, it was ultimately dropped from the choices. Adam Lambert offered a song, saying his song “Suburban Decay” would perfectly fit into the Vampire flick, and could be the perfect tune to further elaborate the love story between Bella and Jacob – hmmm, it seems that he’s on “Team Jacob”. So, too, the Brooklyn, New York, band Care Bears on Fire which is a “Team Bella“, would love to get their song on the list and, of course, Paramore, which appeared on the first soundtrack. These music artists are hoping for a shot, but answers is still as dark as night for an eager fan to know who will make on that elite album.

Whatever Director David Slade is heading this effort and by taking back Alexandra Patsayas as music supervisor, many Twilight Saga fans are hoping that it would surely repeat the feat of the last two “Twilight” soundtracks – the first film and sequel “New Moon” – that both went multi-platinum and earned good impressions in the music world.

So Twilight Fanatics – take hold of your calendar and mark it red on the 8th of June. Whoever will make the cut in the album will surely gain glory.
