Twilight

I am a crazed teenager all over again! I completed all 4 books in one week, and became consumed with the Twilight blaze. All I could think about was twilight. I frequented the website as much as I frequented the ladies room. In my case, a lot would be an under statement.


Finally, the much anticipated release date arrived on November 21, 2008. I rush online to try to get tickets for my boyfriend and I. I checked online and my excitement was quickly drowned in disappointment. All sold out!!!!!!! I screamed agonizingly inside. Then the regret set in.

"I should have bought those pre-sale tickets. I knew it!" I stated secretly inside my head.

So, frantically I began my search for Saturday November 22, 2008. All evening viewings at this theater were again SOLD OUT!!!!!! I began to sink into my chair. I would have to wait several more days before watching Twilight.

How would I cope? My obsession with these books kept me up at night. I would read for hours not able to pry the books from my fingers. I had to find out what happened next. It were as if I were an abstract part of the story. Possibly a cloud that stood still in the sky. I was a constant observer of the lives these characters lived. How on earth could I possibly wait another second to watch the movie? I was itching to pick the movie apart. I had this desire to dissect it's every second on film.

Then, I tried one last time - 5:45pm. Just like that, the seating plan was open. I quickly selected my seats and continued feverishly with my purchase. Success! Now, I only had to wait until Saturday.

Saturday came, though it felt an entire century had passed by. My boyfriend and I settled into our seats at 5:45pm. I took in a deep relaxing breath and the movie began.

***********************************************************

My boyfriend enjoyed the movie and he had not read the books. His only knowledge was that of my obsessive non stop blabbering.

I enjoyed the movie, but felt like everything was rushed. The emotions for the characters did not have time to evolve into what they truly were. The cast was good. However, I think that everyone who may have read the books might have their own personalized visions of whom each character was. For some the actors cast may have matched, but for others maybe not so much.

I anticipate the idea of making another movie. Will buy the DVD, and would watch it more than a few times.

However, I feel that the books are untouchable. The movie did stay true to the overall story, but the depth that coincides with reading the books is surreal and untouchable by the Movie.

Simply Red Review 4 : It was a good movie for guys & girls, had it's action & romance. I think it's worth a trip to the movies. You'll earn some brownie points for this one.
