On Tuesday the 25th, I saw the new movie, Twilight. I myself have read the book by Stephenie Meyer. I was anxious to see this movie, but I always get concerned when I see a movie based on a book.
I movie was alright, but I have to say I was not thrilled with it. There were too many changes to the movie. For example, in the book when Bella goes to Port Angles with her friends Jessica and Angela, when she breaks away to go look at a book store, she just window shops. In the movie, she actually went in the store and even bought a book! Another example is when Bella and Edward are in the meadow together. In the book, this is the most passionate and important scene. They really begin to fall in love with eachother after this scene. First, in the movie, they were already in love when they went to the meadow. Secondly, they made the scene like 5 minutes long. In the book, the meadow scene takes up alomst 4 chapters. This disappointed me.
These are only a few of the many mistakes and changes in the movie Twilight. I am not saying I didn't like the movie. The actors did do a good job portraying the characters. But I am disappointed on the way the movie turned out. Twilight is my favorite book as of right now. I would read it again and again. The love between Edward and Bella in the book is discribed so perfectly and in depthly that I don't think even the best producer could make a movie as good as the book.

Eclipse OR post #13
The fight of the newborns is about to happen, so the vampires need to train. Jasper, the newest to the family, has all of the Cullens meet at the imfamous baseball field (where James and his pack first met them) to practice. He has them all stand in the center while he leaps at them and such. By doing this, it shows them how to react to the newborns coming at them.
Jacob and his pack show up as well. Instead of being in human form though, they are in their wolf form. Bella recognizes Jacob immediatley. The pack decided that the best way for them to be able to track where they would be during the fight was to get their scents. The pack makes the Cullens all line up in a line and they all smell them.
Later, Jacob returend to talk to Edward. They discuss where they will leave Bella during the fight. They finally settle on leaving her in the mountains along with Seth Clearwater, a new addition to the pack. Jacob is told by Edward to carry around Bella for just a short while. Bella doesn't like the idea, but Edward tells her it is so her scent can get mixed up with hers and Jacobs and his. Finally, Edward takes Bella home after the long evening where she falls asleep in his arms.

Eclipse OR post #12
It was close to graduation, and Alice was throwing Bella a big party. Even though Bella didn't like the idea, she was going to go along with it anyways.
The day of graduation, Bella and Alice figured it out. The newborns were not in Seattle, they were coming to Forks to get Bella. This terrified them both.
At the ceremony, Bella told Edward what they had discovered. Edward's face went white with horror. He immediatley ran off to try to find Alice. He later met up with Bella again to tell her that he would let NOTHING happen to her, and that she would be safe. Bella doubted every word.
At the party back at the Cullen's, Edward wouldn't let Bella out of his sight, until suddenly, Alice shot a glance and Edward. He took off almost instantly. Then, Jacob Black was at the door with 2 of his wolf brothers. Jacob gave Bella a beautiful hang made bracelet that he had made for a grad present. Bella loved it.
Bella finally saw Alice and ran over to her. She asked what she had seen, assuming she had seen something due to Edward's quick leave. Alice said she saw that the newborns were on their way and that one of them had taken a piece of Bella's clothing and had kept it. This scared Bella. Jacob and his brothers then butted in. They insited that they help fight the other vampires. Jasper then came into the conversation too. Hand Alice also agreed that fighting with the werewolves would be a good idea and that it would make their team stronger.

Eciplse OR post #11
Since graduation was approaching, Alice insisted on throwing Bella a grad party. Bella complained that she didn't think it was needed, but Alice wouldn't let her change her mind.
One evening, Bella went over to the Cullen's home. There she learned about how the newest vampire of the family, Jasper became a vampire. He told Bella about how he was a general and one day was taken and bitten by a pack of newborn vampires. After that, he joined a clan of vampires. They would take maybe 15 newborns every year, and once they weren't as useful anymore, they would kill the newborns.
This scared Bella. Edward comforted her though, and told her that when she was ready to become a vampire, that she would stay a vampire.
The following day was finals. It was only a half day, and since Edward was going to be off hunting, she asked if she could go down to La Push. He said that was fine, but insisted to drive her to the half way mark. There they met up with Jacob, and he drove Bella the rest of the way.
While they were together, Jacob shared some imformation with Bella that she may have not wanted to hear so much. Jacob confessed to Bella that he was in love with her and that he though that she would be better off with him than Edward. Bella became very angry. She yelled and Jacob that that would never be a better option, for she was in love with Edward, not Jacob. With that, Jacob through himself at Bella and landed a huge kiss upon her face...multiple times! When he was finally through, Bella punched him in the face with all the force she had. Jacob being so muscular and big, had no damage done. Bella on the other hand, broke her hand.
Jacob offered to drive her back home. The rode in silence the whole way. It wasn't until she was with Edward again that she felt better.
Edward told Jacob that if he were to ever bring Bella back in worse condition than she was in when she'd left, that he was never allowed to see her again.

Eclipse OR post #9
It was time for Edward to go hunting again. While he was gone, Alice took Bella captive and made her sleepover at her house for 2 nights. Bella didn't like this idea, even thoguh she knew it was for her safety.
The first night Bella was there, after she had gone to bed, Rosalie came into her room. Rosalie told her about how she had become a vampire. Apparently, she had been raped by her fiance at the time. Carlise had found her and fortunately saved her before ir was too late. Rosalie tried to convince Bella that the descision about becoming a vampire after graduation was a bad idea. Bella protested, and insisted that people stop telling her that, for she knew what was best for her.
Edward awoke Bella in her bed later that night. He told her that he couldn't stand being away from her and so even though he wouldn't be back until the following day, he just had to be with her. Of course Bella was alright with this.
That day was long. Jacob came over while Bella was doing the dishes. When he asked her about when she was planning on making this big descision she had been talking about, he flipped out when she answered. He even cut himself with a knife that he had been helping dry. Fortunately, because Jacob was a werewolf, the scar immediatley became fadded.
When Edward returned, it was like he had never left. While they were toether one day, Bella received her acceptence letter to Dartmouth. She couldn't believe Edward had actually signed her up and that she ACTUALLY got in. Edward of course was happy.
The follwoing day, Bella got a call to go out to La Pusg for a bonfire. She ok'd it with Charlie and Edward of course. When she got there, she found out it wasn't going to be just any old get together. Jacob's friend Quil was just joining that pack. It was his turn to learn how the werewolves really became werewolves. There was a long stroy that Bella had never even heard of. She was so happy to reunite with Edward after the night was over.

Eclipse OR post #8
At the beginning of the book, Bella receives a letter from Jacob Black, apologizing for getting her into trouble for turning her into Charlie about the motorcycles. The letter also said that it didn't change anything between the two of them though. Their fight because Edward was back in the picture had torn them apart and it didn't look like that was going to change.
With the end of senior year coming up, Edward has been helping Bella study for finals and with her last minute college applications. Even thoguh Bella would prefere to go with the second option, (turning into a vampire) Edward still insisted she go to college.
Bella had been grounded "for life" as Charlie said, because she ran of to Italy for 3 days. Charlie decided that because of Bella's good behavior lately though, that she could be un-grounded, but that she would have to continue with this behavior. When Edward heard this, he immediatley reminded Bella of the plane tickets to Florida that Esme and Charlise had given her last year for her birthday to see her mother, Renee. He also told her that they were about to expire and that he thought it would be a good idea to go this weekend to see her mom. Edward mentionned this to Charlie, and at first he was not pleased to hear that Edward would be joining Bella in this little trip to see Bella's mom. But when Bella threatened to leave, since she WAS technically and adult now, he decided to lighten up and let it go.
They had a very nice time in Florida over the weekend. Renee was very pleased to see Bella, and Edwrad. When they arrived home, the first thing that happened was the phone rang. Bella answered. It was Jacob. He asked if she was to be at school the following day. She said yes and that was it.
The next day at school, Jacob met up with Edward and Bella in the parking lot. Jacob wasn't intending to talk to Bella, he wanted to talk to Edward. Apparently, the "code" had been broken. The code was that no vampire could bit a human and let them live...meaning that they couldn't be turned into a vampire. Bella didn't understand this, but she knew she was going to have to ask Edward alot of questions in english class.
