A Total Eclipse of the Heart!

We are super duper excited about our very first movie review and the fact that it's Eclipse (the 3rd installment of the Twilight Saga).   We went to the midnight showing and first and foremost this movie was epic!   But it is important for us to discuss the atmosphere of our cinematic experience! We of course with our mother and being the Twihards that we are we even sat alone in single seats so we could go. There were 3 seat options...one seat in the back, another in the middle, and then one closer to the front on the side(the one no one wanted) We'll start with Joanna's experience...She chose to sit in the seat in the back, hoping to have a better view of the film. But this was not the case!   *Joanna here!  Let me begin by telling you about the chatty Kathy"s and Kevy"s behind me!!!!!  They were even talking out LOUD might I add!   During Harry Potter!!!!!!  Seriously the moment I hear that beautiful song from John Williams I require a moment of SILENCE!   Then they continued being ANNOYING the whole rest of the movie!  It totally Almost ruined my experience, but then Edward came on and I was okay!   Then our Poor Mother sat in the middle seat next to a boy who sounded like he had Turrets!  (apparently he made especially weird sounds when a certain part involving a bed came on!).   *Lisa here! And as for my "experience" I had the seat of course that no one wanted...it was the Mr.Collins of the theatre. But this one had a happy ending! I sat by a nice little mom and her two shy, very quiet daughters (key word being quiet). I enjoyed every minute, had a perfect view of the screen, and best of all tons of leg room to stretch out my Amazon Women legs!

Now for the part you have been waiting for.,.OUR VERY FIRST REVIEW! Hold the applause please! When thinking about a good way to review our movies we were inspired by one of our favorites (that review is still to come)

So when in comes to eclipse we give it a 5 with 2 snaps in a Z formation! We loved this movie! We laughed, we jumped, we got chills, we swooned, we giggled, and we even almost cried! When it comes to the characters, Edward gets an award for most improved, next to Jasper(courtesy of his confederate soldier outfit thing! with a Texan accent to boot!) Robert Pattinson has not been our first choice to play Edward and although he had moments in the previous films he still didn't quite live up to our expectations. But when it came to Eclipse...Edward was finally unleashed! He was romantic, believable, tough, and just everything that you ever want in a man. Bryce Dallas Howard took over the role of the bad vampiress Victoria! She did an amazing job playing this role...the only part that was a little on the cheesy side is when she got angry and showed all her teeth and hissed! We were waiting for her to turn into a bat or the Hulk or maybe some sort of snake! In the film Victoria raises up an army of newborn vampires to get revenge on the Cullen family. Part of her plan is to deceive Riley(played by cutie patootie Xavier Samuel) he did an amazing job playing this character and we are so sad that he was *spoiler alert* ripped apart savagly by a wolf! The other characters all did a good job. We could have done without the weird wigs though...Not sure who is running that department but they should be fired! They even had to re shoot some scenes with Kristen Stewart because test audiences hated it sooooooo much!! And boy are we glad that they did! If they were this bad we cant even imagine what awful tiny rugs they put on there heads! Well maybe we can...did you see Jasper in the beginning! Thank heavens for soldier hats! Taylor Lautner of course reprised his role as Jacob...although we are NOT team Jacob he was definitely easy on the eye and has great skin! We especially enjoyed the random lines that were thrown out about him "does he ever wear a shirt?" considering that his entire wardrobe consisted of a pair of shorts and sneakers! Is he even wearing socks? Seriously! All the other pups played their parts well. Especially Leah! She was totally ripped! (and we mean that in a totally non-lesbiany way) If we had to say anything bad about the movie it would be that it didn't have her friends from Forks High School more. We love them and they only had maybe 5 minutes of screen time! C'mon guys! They were a hoot in the book! This was a wonderful film that we plan on seeing at least 10 times...maybe even beat Titanic with 15 times! If you are a Twilight fan you will love this movie and everything about it. On the other hand if you are a guy going with a girl don't expect to enjoy yourself too much! Ok kids...Popcorn wishes and Goober Dreams!
