Have you guys heard about Twilight? I probably wouldn't have heard about this movie if it weren't for my sister. She was reading the books over the summer and told me to read it. I'm not much of a reader, and I never did get around to reading them; however, I was interested when she told me that the story was about vampires. Anyone else besides me like vampires? But yeah, she warned me that it was a romance novel. For me, I don't mind romance as long as it's a good story. I like a good story (seriously, it's the RPG gamer in me 0.0).
Anyways, the beginning can be a bit slow when it introduces the characters and revealing the main story about "vampires". There was only one action scene in the movie, and I won't say where so it won't spoil anything for anyone. The story was interesting and keeps you on edge with the main actor's role of a vampire who goes crazy each time he's near the main actress's role of a teenage girl who left Arizona to live with her father. What kept me on edge was the fact that anytime throughout the whole movie, the vampire (Edward) would feast upon the girl's (Isabella) blood. The movie was pretty funny all the way through, and that's not entirely a bad thing. It's also due partly because some scenes were cheesy, full of one-liners, and filmed really awkwardly. There were a lot of marketing implications all over the movie too, but a lot of media is like that nowadays eh? (buy this 'cause this character eats it! buy that 'cause this character uses it!) So to narrow it all down, it was a movie filmed poorly (looks low budget, almost feels like I was watching Gilmore Girls on WB) based off a good story from a written novel. Why do I say this? It's because Harry Potter was also a movie based off a novel, and Harry Potter was great. The acting in Twilight was very awkward in a lot of scenes, and the way the silent parts were filmed and edited seemed almost rushed or even amature. Despite all that, I think it's worth watching at least once as long as you don't mind romance stories.
Speaking of vampires, I finally bought myself a copy of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. I'm probably gonna open it and play it right after I publish this post. Other than that, I saw a LOT of good games that came out for all systems in the Gamestop store before I went to watch Twilight. I'm most likely will buy Castlevania Judgement when I go back home to Elk Grove. I think I already said that in my last post, but I'm pretty excited with all the new games that has been released. My roommate started getting scared by the way I acted in the game store and how I was getting so excited.
So I'll see you guys later and feel free to leave a comment on what you thought about the Twilight Movie.
