Bella insists on enjoying some normalcy in their marriage before succumbing to the dark side. The happiness is brought to a halting stop when Bella begins to notice she is ill. When she is reminded that she is late she is shocked to learn that she may be pregnant. Not sure how this is even possible the two quickly head home to Forks and have Carlisle investigate.

Once back home Bella reveals her pregnancy to Jacob who is appalled. Bella insists on carrying the baby to term. She will do whatever it takes to keep ‘him’ safe. Edward who is terrified of Bella’s choice begs Jacob to convince her to change her mind. The discussion does not go very far and Bella only becomes sicker by the day. Her body can not keep up with the demand of a fetus who is growing at a rapid pace.

As her heart begins to give out she goes into emergency labor and Edward is faced with the immediate decision to deliver the baby and then turn Bella. It is a graphic and very dark sequence of events. As it looks like Edward’s attempts have failed he is left to fight the wolf pack to protect his family.

Thanks to Jacob the fight is quickly aborted after it is discovered that Jacob has imprinted on the baby girl named Reneseme. As we watch Bella clinging to life we begin to see a change. “Breaking Dawn Part I” is what fans have been waiting for and will not disappoint. The acting felt very scripted in this version and Pattison lost his charm. The special effects on Kristen Stewart were magical. Although very disturbing to see her sick and bone skinny it was a very realistic portrayal of someone who is very ill. The storyline reached a new depth and is everything every fan will desire. Another box office success that fans will need to check out and find something to enjoy from it.

We have a VERY limited number of admit-two passes for the screening Wednesday, November 16 at 7:30PM at AMC Studio 30. Winners will be chosen on Monday, November 14.

The theatre(s) where the cast member will be making an appearance will be announced tomorrow. Please check back with the film’s website for more details.

If you are a Twilight fan you may have already seen Eclipse, and you know you want to see it again and now you have an excuse! The rumors started yesterday and it looks like this rumor is going to be proven true this weekend. The cast from TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE will be making surprise appearances at many theatres around the country this weekend. It is not known at this point if Kansas City is part of this tour. But wouldn’t you hate it if you missed out on seeing your favorite vamps or wolves. Don’t wait and buy your tickets now as they are selling out fast!

As a string of mysterious killings in Seattle is grabbing the attention of Forks residents the Cullen clan begin to become concerned as Alice (Ashley Greene) has a premonition of what or who they are after. It becomes clear rather quickly that the army of “newborn” vampires has Bella as their target and is on their way to Forks in the hunt. Knowing that the newborns, recently turned vampires who are hungry for blood and more powerful, may be more than the Cullen’s can handle they turn to the wolf packs.

Asking Jacob (Taylor Lautner) if he thinks the pack would help them in the battle and call a truce to work together in the hopes of saving Bella. Of course Jacob is ready to do anything to protect Bella and the vampires and wolves begin training together in the hopes of defeating the army.  The army will not be the only opponent as Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) returns. We learn she is behind the army as the leader in the shadows and has convinced Riley (Xavier Samuel) to be the front man to kill Bella and the Cullen’s.

The battle between the Cullen’s, newborns and wolves is by the far the best action sequence from all of the Twilight movies. Following the book closely Eclipse offers many Team Jacob and Team Edward scenes that all fans will love. Eclipse has the most entertaining dialogue between the two loves of Bella. Finally we are also given a vision into the past of the characters of Rosalie (Nikki Reed) and Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) giving us a better idea of how they got to where they are today. Japer who I have always found awkward to watch finally steps into the spotlight and made you like his character. One character not winning any love would be Victoria. Bryce Dallas Howard could not compete with her predecessor’s performance and I found her to be a complete disappointment.

The chemistry between Bella and Edward and Bella and Jacob was there. They definitely heated up the screen, but for me I found Kristen Stewart a little uncomfortable to watch on screen this time. I think back to her performance in the original and somewhere along the lines her performance as Bella has become strange. The romance, action and special effects made Eclipse better then New Moon. This film will not disappoint Twihards and will have everyone bummed that Breaking Dawn is a year and half away. Enjoy your holiday and get lost in the whimsical tale that Eclipse has to offer.

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE in theatres Wednesday, June 30!

I received my copy of New Moon a day early to review all the specials it contains. It is a two-disc special edition.  Disc one features commentary by director Chris Weitz and Editor Peter Lambert. It offers some great insight and has a valid entertaining factor.

Disc 2 I found to be the best with it’s behind the scenes feature called The Journey Continues and music videos featuring some great talent from Anya Marina, Death Cab for Cutie, Muse, and Mutemath. Disc 2 is divided up into several parts and offers you some very exclusive sneak peeks at Eclipse and behind the scenes footage you will not find anywhere else.

A look behind the scenes of how Twilight changed the actors lives after its release. Then finally a look ahead to what most fans want, footage of the cast and crew filming Eclipse that is about 30 minutes long.

We know most Twihards have already been picking up their copies left and right, but be careful when selecting which version. Some may have more features suited for each fan. Now the countdown is on with only three months until the saga continues.
