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 :)

Chapter Four (thanks to everyone who's commented)

I coughed, his words ringing in ears. There was something stuck in my throat. Half-brothers! My head and stomach were spinning, like a tumble drier. My dad was Billy Black? I turned away from Jake and threw up. That cleared my head, which made my heart ache. Why hadn’t my mom told me? She knew that I used to cry myself to sleep when I was younger because I’d seen a happy family out on the beach at La push. Why hadn’t she thought to tell me?
Jake was trying not to listen to my thoughts, but he couldn’t help it. He flinched, at my memory....

For who ever would like to read this. I'm new so please don't be mad if it's terrible. Please comment and tell me what you think. Thank you.


All you really need to know is that I did not plan for this to happen. It just did whether I wanted it to or not. But, if i could change anything; I'm not sure that I really would. Whether he's real; my mind still can't figure that out. I am sure of him though. I'm sure of his face, his eyes, his lips, and his touch. Everything about him was perfect and I would die for him.


I awoke in my bed to my alarm and realized that today was the day I would move...

14. Forgotten

I slammed on the braked and stared into her liquid gold eyes. Every thing about her has changed. She looked more like a vampire then before. Her skin had a high, gloss, Glow to it, her eyes were more liquidly, her face was better chiseled, but most of all the fact that I could see her. I was never able to physically see her before. I was staring into a beautiful high school picture of me, And quite frankly it scared the hell out of me.

“What are you doing here?” I stammered. She smiled smugly and within a blink of an eye, she was sitting in the passenger side.

This is a true story. My cousin and I were at our grandma's apartment. We were playing in the water. This stranger(man) walked up to me. He asked me what grade did I think he was in. I didn't answer him. He asked me again. I still didn't answer. He said your a piece of crap. Then he hit me!! Hard!! My cousin and I ran inside as fast as we could. We locked the doors and hid. Now we always call him the scary dude. Or the hitting freak. This is a very true story!!! Now I don't go anywhere without some one. Otherwise I think I will get hit again or get kidnapped!! If something happens to you, add me as a friend and tell me about it. It could become a book. My mom is an author. Her books are Dude Your A Crab, The Crab Is Back In Town, Shadows In the Past, The shadows unspoken, Jason's Number 16th Dream, and Prince Jeremy and the Horse. Check them out. Everything but Shadows in the Past is foe kids. Shadows in the Past is for 14-15 years or older. Thanks for reading my story.

Jacob's P.O.V.

"Why are you following me, Jacob?" Leah had come to a sudden halt as she noticed me behind her. Her breathing came fast and I could hear her heart beat in double time.

"I want to find out what the hell your bloody problem is."

"You know what my problem is, Jacob." She hissed.

"Oh, do I, Leah? Do I really? Ok then, tell me what did, Renesmee ever do to you? She has never been anything less than polite to you. So, tell me, Leah, what is your problem again?" My voice became louder as I spoke. I knew me imprinting on Nessie would make me bias but she truly was a beautiful person, both...

(Bella's POV)

'Hey Edward" I said as I walked towards the car parked outside my house. He just had to pick me up every morning, didn't he. "You know, I do have a car," i suggested jokingly. I knew what he would say
'Bella, with the bad luck that you have, I'm amazed that you can even get out of bed!"
We both smiled at this and luaghed togeather, as I hopped into the car and made it though another boring school day.

I laughed awkwardly as I tried to free myself from her grasp. "Alice,it's only been two days," I complianed.

Peter Facinelli: Speaking Queens English
By Peter Facinelli (told to Eric Estrin)
Published: November 03, 2009

Peter Facinelli had plenty of passion and determination but not much in the way of craft when, as a stiff New Yorker with a “My Cousin Vinny” accent, he enrolled at NYU and threw himself into a drama career. Now co-starring in Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie” and heading up the Cullen vampire clan in the “Twilight” series -- his next film, “New Moon,” opens Nov. 20 -- Facinelli is a nonstop working actor with a wide range and a long resume in film and television.

My name is Mai Bly Nashota Unega, which means coyote, white, tall, twin. It’s not an ordinary name in any sense, but it represents my Native American heritage and who I am. When I was around 11 years old, I asked my parents why they named me that, and the only reason they gave me was because it’s a family name. At that age I didn’t know how important that family name was, but two years ago, after I turned 16, I found out why.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am tall, skinny, and I’m extremely tan, the envy of all my friends in my Forks High School. That’s right, I go...

Taylor, we love you and your muscles but frankly we have been missing our leading man in the media over the past month. As Taylor stepped up to the media spotlight, Robert Pattinson hid waiting in the wings for his moment. Today is his day to shine and with a new cover in British magzine AnOtherMan and Rob has been greatly missed.

Rob Soundbites from AnOtherMan Magazine Out Oct 1st:

“Annoyingly, there are so few parts I feel I can add anything to, or that I want to do.”
“I don’t want to be an actor for the sake of it. I don’t find any particular pleasure in being an attention-seeker.”...

A Way to Spend My Birthday

"Where are you going mommy?" asked a six year old Bella.

"Out." she said sadly. She has been really sad lately since daddy took a visit to her friend. "Okay. When are you going to be back?"

"Not for a while. You will come visit me one day. Jennette with take care of you for a while."


That was the last memory I had of my mother. I never really understood what she meant by out. Not until now.

As I read this letter tears were pouring restlessly down my cheeks.

"Dear Bella,

If you are reading this letter this means you've turned 18. I loved you very much but when your daddy...

“Mary! Mary!” I screamed at the top of my lunges. What had she become, this wasn’t like her, nothing like her. She continued to reach for my neck, I screamed. Suddenly Mary’s head went up, she was listening to something. She got off of me one second and was out of the window the next. Mom came in, clearly hearing my screams, and looked down at me.
“What’s going on here?” She asked as I stood up, flattened my dress, and wiped away the tears that fell from my eyes.
“Nothing, just shocked.” I couldn’t tell her what had just happened, she would think I had gone crazy. She looked...
