Umm... Twilight???

So I have been bombarded by my mother, sister and sister-in-law to read the Twilight series for at least the last 4 or 5 months. I put it off because I really needed to study for my Mammography registry so I could pass the stupid thing. Well, after I passed I was told that I had to read them because the movie was coming out and pretty much my whole DeMille side (mom's side) of the family were going to go together and that I shouldn't be left out. So I read them... and honestly it was a cute story. Really simple and very cute but I can honestly say that I am not as taken with them as some seem to be. I enjoy a fresh new story and new characters but I don't know if I didn't take enough time to read them or put myself totally into the book (I read them in the car on the way to Denver, very distracted) as much as I usually do but I just thought that they were okay.

So then it was time for the movie to come out and us girls to take the trip to Vegas for the premiere. It was everyone!! All my cousins, there kids, my aunt, everyone. We had so much fun!!! We went to dinner and then arrived at the theater (the BEST theater EVER by the way...) at 9:00 pm, three hours early to wait :) Crazy girls!!

And I LOVED it!! I thought it was so great and so crappy at the same time. I loved that it was SO low budget and I loved all the stupid cheesy lines, I just loved it. On a serious note I do think that the actors were chosen very well, each one is actually perfect. Edward was perfect, Bella was perfect, love it! I'm excited to see how they do New Moon especially with a bigger budget. I think I even like the movie better than the books just because I love cinematic adventures and this one was tops :)

I do have to say though that what most people need to understand about movie making is that there is no possible way that they were going to fit the whole book into two hours, especially with the budget that they had. Granted I do think that alot of time was wasted with music and no one talking, they could have put something in there. But come on... its just a movie :)
