The Twilight Saga: Eclipse


YAY! Love them movie. They portrayed every emotion I had in the book into the movie. I still got pissed at the end when Bella didn't want Jacob to leave in the woods (eh? you remember right?). Oh and I still laughed when Bella and Edward were lying down that one night and Bella tried to... well, you know! I am sure you laughed too.

I am totally a Team Edward fan; however, I think in this movie he gave off a creepy vibe instead of an I'm in love you vibe. I wish they would have extended the camping in the woods scenes, because that played a lot into Jacob and Edward's relationship.

Another plus. All you Twihards probably know about The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella, right? Well, I liked how in the movie they incorporated some of that story into the movie, because there were totally some things in the movie that were not in the book. It only made the story that much better and I truly hope that Stephanie Meyers will continuing giving us little short stories about other characters in the book.

I don't know if I can wait until November of 2011 for the first part of Breaking Dawn to come out! My heart is already going pitter patter as that is my favorite book and I have high, high hopes for it. Afterall, they had 3 movies before it to perfect the moods!

Expert Says: 4.5 stars, nailed the mood, they're getting better at this.

Iron Man 2

Lame! Not totally lame, just repeatitive. The plot wasn't much different than the first movie. The effects were the same as well as the love interests.

Iron Man will never stop with his woo is me "I'm just trying to save the World" attitude. It got old at the end of the first movie. Iron Man was cool in the first movie, which helps in bringing this movie up a few notches, because if the first one ws cool, and the second one is like the first, then isn't the second one cool too? In a sense. Not totally.

Iron Man 2 is still fun and entertaining, just unoriginal and lacks creativity. *sigh* Disappointment.

Expert Says: 3 Stars, lacks oringinality, just like the first

The Karate Kid



I loved this movie! I loved the original! I always vote for the underdog and The Karate Kid is about the underdog  *whipsh* coming out on top.

Now, what I liked the most about this remake, is that they didn't take the original line for line, add new actors, and call it a movie. NO! They created something totally different while taking the same concept and basic guidelines of the movie and gave us something new to look at. Kudos to them!

Next on the list, Jaden Smith. HOLY CRAP! I mean AWESOME! I don't want to say that he is just like his father in the sense of his acting. However, the stellarness his father has in his acting was certainly passed on through the generation to his son. Don't get confused, Jaden is NOT following in his father's shadow! Kudos to Jaden!

Now....

Go pick up the jacket!
