OK, I just got back from Eclipse and I really liked it.

Here is what I didn’t care for: (and things I did like in these particular scenes)

* The wigs – didn’t like anyone’s especially Victoria’s

* A lot of things I thought should of been in the movie were omitted, I understand there is only so much you can fit in two hours. Parts seemed rushed because they were trying to fit multiple things into like a 10 minute spot and if you haven’t read the books you were clueless.

* They did a great job with lines from the movie, but I was very upset they excluded a few.

- OK, the tent scene, my favorite scene in the whole series, they had alot of good lines, even though they changed some, but they didn’t include my favorite line from the whole series, “Go fetch a space heater. I’m not a St. Bernard. (Jacob)” I mean come on!! Why didn’t they include that? Overall I enjoyed the tent scene very much just disappointed they didn’t include that line.

- “I just beheaded and dismembered a sentient creature not twenty yards from you. That doesn’t bother you? (Edward)”
Why wasn’t that line in the movie? They kinda of skipped over the whole her in a semi shocked state during that scene. And her with the rock and everything. Besides, not including that line, I really loved the whole Riley, Edward, Seth, Victoria fight/death scene. Seth was kicking butt!! (My perfect favorite little wolf) And even though Seth was only in the movie for a few minutes in human form I thought he was great! Oh and when Riley was begging for Victoria to help him and she hardly even acknowledge him I felt so heartbroken for Riley!

* The Switzerland line Bella says. Wish they would included the whole line it would of took like 2 more seconds. It didn’t have the same effect cut short.

* I wish we would of got a little more Bree. After reading the new Bree book I wanted to see more of her. (I know she wasn’t much in the Eclipse book, but man I loved the Bree Tanner Novellla)

* I wish they would have ended the movie with Jacob leaving though in wolf form.

What I loved:

* The Virgin Chat – Once again Charlie has the funniest lines. I just love him. He is great in every scene he is in.

* The Tribe Bonfire – Love the legends of the tribe and thought it was awesome to see the flashback!!! Loved Billy telling the story and you see him play with the pouch around his neck, the one that carries the ashes of the ancient cold one, and thought it was a nice touch.

* Jessica’s Graduation Speech – Go Jessica, not in the book, but a great addition to the movie!

* The Wolf Pack – Not in the movie much in human form, but when they are they rock.

* Riley – Xavier Samuel is an amazing actor. I thought he did an excellent job in the movie. Keep an eye on this boy he is going places.

* The entire part from the moment Bella punches Jacob till the end of the arguing. Great scenes!

* Rosalie’s Back story I really enjoyed. Jasper’s was ok, but I liked Rosalie’s better.

* I thought Bryce did an excellent job as Victoria.

* Just like in New Moon the wolves looked amazing!

* I really liked the Cullens getting more face time too. Overall everyone’s acting in this movie was superb! Jasper was great!!!

OK So I know there is more I didn’t care for and more I loved, but those were the main ones.

Overall I really enjoyed the movie, but I think I still like New Moon more. Don’t know why exactly I just do. Eclipse lived up to everything I knew it was going to be, a great movie!!! I wasn’t disappointed. I can now stop obsessing over Eclipse. I will not start obsessing over Breaking Dawn, which is my favorite book in the series!!! Only 505 more days LOL!!!!!

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

Along those lines, what makes Bill Condon right for Breaking Dawn?

The themes and the story of Breaking Dawn are very mature; Bella and Edward are going through very adult things, from marriage to childbirth, motherhood, parenthood, and the evolution of their relationship into something that is a partnership, which is not the way Edward has viewed this relationship with her before. Bill’s a very mature filmmaker; he’s dealt with very difficult themes and stories in his career. He’s also gotten Academy Award nominations for actors in the last three films that he’s done. And from a performance standpoint, Kristen’s going to be diving into stuff that she hasn’t been through. It’s one thing that she can remember first love and falling in love and being torn between two guys, probably, but the idea of dealing with some of these issues and having a filmmaker that can really help them as actors was vital to Breaking Dawn. Also, the visual nature of Dreamgirls made us feel like he could create something with a real scope and grandeur to it.

MTV Hollywood Crush has an article with a roundup of reviews and reactions to the Eclipse screening on Oprah.

Check it all out here.
So jealous!!!!

Here is an excerpt:
SPOILERS

There had been some concern after the final “Eclipse” trailer premiered that this third installment in the “Twilight Saga” would sacrifice the love story for the action (apparently everyone forgot the first trailer, which showed us otherwise). The unanimous response was that the love story is definitely still there, and it is very hot and heavy. This means, yes, the leg hitch, the tent scene and Bella and Jacob’s kiss all make the final cut, and, as one Twitter user claimed, were enough to “get her turned on.” And yes, the scene where Bella punches Jacob is also included, though we never doubted that it wouldn’t be in the film.

Thanks CiNDiELeE!

Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria in Eclipse won with 31% of the votes in Fandango’s poll of the Most Anticipated Summer Movie Villians.

Here is what they said:

On the villain side of things…I mean, c’mon – is there anyone we despise more than Bryce Dallas Howard’s Victoria in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse? This is Howard’s first go at the role (the character was previously played by Rachelle Lefevre in both New Moon and Twilight), and so fans will need to warm up (or down) to her. That said, even with Howard taking over the role for the first time, fans are still more than pumped to see her run all sorts of naughty deeds with the character.

Check out Fandango to see who else made it in the poll as well as the most anticipated Hero (Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man in Iron Man 2 anyone, Oh Yeah)!!!!

The Twilight Examiner has a nice little article talking all about that little cutie Riley, played by Xavier Samuel, and his role in theEclipse movie.

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

One of the most immediately noticeable (and perhaps impactful) aspects of the new The Twilight Saga: Eclipse trailer is the amount of Riley it brought.

By now, it’s no secret that the character Riley will have more than just the few seconds of face time he had in the book version of the story (much like Felix in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, but probably even more so). Not only did the character get a last name for the film (“Biers”), but Xavier Samuel was one of only two castmates whose on-set photograph director David Slade shared on Twitter (the other was, of course, Taylor Lautner). So, it’s no surprise that we saw him in the trailer. What was a little surprising was how much we got to see of him.

I for one am looking forward to seeing a little more of Riley in the film! (And it’s not just cause he’s a total hottie either, lol!!!)

Thanks Ashley!!!

Got some emails about Eclipse movie reshoots.

Summit Entertainment directed Twilight Lexicon to the following article at Gossip Cop for the real story, which is below:

A report that was widely disseminated earlier today made big waves by claiming that “key scenes” in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse need to be reshot in Vancouver, and speculated that the development indicated production on the June release was troubled.

Asked to comment on today’s alarmist rumors, the authorized rep for the studio tells Gossip Cop, “Reports much like the one earlier today are ploys to drive traffic without any merit and without any support from the studio on what is actually going on or true.”

I like!!!!!
