Twilight, Best movie of the year?

By Desiree -
this photos is from me and my sister's favorite scene: they are in the school parking lot, and finally "together" and everyone is "staring." sadly, it only lasts for a moment, and then off to the wilderness again.



unfortunatley, no. don't get me wrong, seeing the movie was like Christmas morning, it just fell short in many ways.

The script: good grief, tell me stephenie was unhappy with this. i realize the script couldn't be as awesome as the book, it just screamed "made for tv."

The special effects: the movie obviously is not loaded with this stuff, so that was good. but what they did have to modify, like the running and fighting, was soooo cheesy looking, again "made for tv movie."

those were the 2 big down falls for me. i loved robert pattinson (he really grew on me) and kristen stewart did a good job as well(just take out the hospital scene where she botches it big time). i don't think anyone plays the "suffer in silnece" better then her.

i read a review that i felt was right on with the movie. he said that robert and kristen had a really good on screne chemistry, and my second time seeing the movie, i completely agree.

THE MIDNIGHT SHOWING

thursday night, my aunt called with an extra ticket to the midnight show, i obviously went with her. the hype at the theatre was contagious. when the movie started everyone gasped and screeched. when they first showed edward there was screeming. i felt so...at home, and that i finally found a place where i "belonged."

share your feelings on the show.....

I tried to edit my comment, and accidentally deleted it! Anyway, I loved your reivew of the movie. Next time there is a Twilight movie we have to go together! The fast running reminded me of something from Harry Potter and I kept looking for quiditch balls or whatever they're called - snitches? I agree with you about your favorite scene too. Can you believe it made 70 mill in its opening weekend?

heaven on earth?

if there was one place an avid water sports nut would pick as "heavenly" it would have to be lake powell. we were lucky enough to go this past september, and we had a ball. the great thing about powell is the calm water factor; if the water is choppy cruise around for 10 minutes or so and you'll find the right stuff. wake up at 7 or 8am and there will be calm water, go out at dusk and it is still there waiting for you. calm water. glass. the good stuff. going on this trip convinced me that we NEED a boat. my kids love the water, they are brave, and always waiting for their turn. i am not brave, i hate the water, but somewhere along the lines i learned to try to ignore the fear, and just get wet. maui and roxy wakeboarding... riley wanted a turn soo badly, but it just didn't happen here is me wakeboarding, it is fun, and when you only get to go every other summer, it is hard on your body. here we see randy fishing (these are the fish that i am sooo afraid of - what if

for those of you who opted to not take high school spanish, you have no idea (well you probably do know..)what this post is about. i need to tell dona maria (my high school spanish teacher) thanks, for teaching me such phrases as: mi casa es su casa, me llamo david vargas. and that is all that i remember, since it was nothing short of a miracle that i passed 2 years of spanish, whithout being able to speak more than 2 sentences.... we finally "closed" on our house!!! it now feels appropriate to tell everyone about it. as brian and i were both pretty certain it was not going to work out, for various reasons. well it did. and i could not be more elated. the mauis are moving back to the Ranches, hopefully in the next 2 weeks. our 3 kids who all share a room, here at my moms, will now all have their own room! we will be excited for friends and family to come and see us at our new house, and of course please feel right at home.... and since our company might not be enough incenti

Seriously you didn't think this was really about football did you? You should know us better than that by now. So Friday night was Roxy's first snowboard day of the year. It was a good time, or in Roxy's words it was GRRRRRRRREAT! Here's a few pics: Roxy packing her gear out to the car. What happens when she can't hold onto all of her gear. All strapped in and ready for the first run. Friday Night Lights Video End the night with some chicken stars from Carl's Jr. Not a bad night.
