Review: Breaking Dawn, The Wedding and Isle Esme

The following post contains spoilers for The Twilight Saga books and movies. Consider yourself warned.

So I went to the midnight premiere of Breaking Dawn and then I went again yesterday with some other people. Now I feel as though I can review it more effectively, because I may have noticed some details the second time I didn't notice the first time. Or maybe I didn't because I was still in awe. We shall see! I was going to do one big post, but alas, my opinion takes up way too much space. So, I'm going to split it up into separate post.

The movie begins with the wedding, or more specifically, the wedding invitations. My friend noted that one of the first things you see is Jacob removing his shirt. Naturally. One thing I was sort of disappointed with was that Edward killing people and Bella's nightmare wedding were two of the first scenes. It was sort of a depressing way to start the movie. But it's the wedding day and everything gets happy again!  I know everyone had mixed opinions about Bella's dress. The long sleeves were too conservative. The sleeves added beauty to the dress. The back plunged too much. It was ugly. It was too old fashioned. It didn't show enough skin. It was classy. THEN they announced you can buy replicas. Why would you want the same thing someone else wore. Weddings are supposed be one of a kind, original. I can't wait to be married in Bella's dress! OHEMGEEEEEEEEEEEE! Enough already! Here's what I thought: I thought it was beautifully classy. I was curious, when it showed the back, how far down the see-through went, though. I thought it was a nice old fashioned dress with a few modern twist. Plus, there were Alice's additions, like the shoes (which I did NOT like at all), or the makeover (I wish I could get my makeup to look like that).

I thought Kristen Stewart did a great job with the wedding scene. The emotion she conveyed and her facial expressions were perfectly fitting. I was really excited when I heard that Stephenie was going to be part of the audience. She even got a close up! I was glad there was a tribute to the person who started this whole phenomenon. It was a beautiful wedding. Between the music and the actual scene, I got a little choked up, and I don't normally do that. So, props to everyone that worked on it, for almost making me cry. Flightless Bird, American Mouth (the song from prom in the very first movie) was the perfect way to end it.

I loved, loved, loved the toasts at the reception. It offered some comedic relief after the wedding. Then Jacob shows up, and whaaaaaa, he has a beard! I noticed Bella was wearing sneakers in that scene. I get the feeling Kristen likes heels about as much as Bella does. It's back to the heavy when Bella says goodbye to Renee and Charlie before leaving for Isle Esme. After a quick stop in Rio (I loved that little bit), they finally reach they're destination. I heard a lady on the radio the other day comment that she was disappointed that this portion of the movie wasn't steamier. I thought it was just steamy enough. I mean, let's keep it PG-13 people. I really liked this part of the movie. It was mostly happy, everything readers of the book could have hoped for, I think.

Phew, well if this is my opinion on the first half hour of the movie, I'm glad I split it up. Make sure to check back for the rest of the review.

Kristen Stewart Talks Breaking Dawn

Hey guys! I saw this on my homepage and I wanted to share it real quick. I thought it was a really neat article with the video and whatnot. I thought her opinion was really interesting, and I was suspecting some of her responses. I encourage you to check it out. 9 DAYS! SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!

Kristen Stewart as Snow White PICTURES RELEASED

So, I was going to write my I Am Number Four review today, but then I stumbled across these.

I heard that she may be doing this movie (thank you Kaleb Nation), but I didn't hear anything else until I found these pics today. It definitely looks like a side of Kristen Stewart we haven't seen before, so I'm really curious. I will try to keep you guys updated on this. I know I'm interested, so maybe you are too?

Looks like just movie reviews coming up, including I Am Number Four. I haven't worked on editing the second vlog in a while. Every time I try to do something with it, I get frustrated....hopefully I'll defeat it soon!

So, what do you guys think? Will Kristen Stewart make a good Snow White? Leave me a comment or reach me via Twitter (MsAliceBradley).

Breaking Dawn Part One Teaser Trailer

Well, there you have it oh-so-patient Twilighters. The wait is nearly over. You got your first glimpse at Breaking Dawn Part One. Excited? I know I am. I really like how they started the trailer, and I'm wondering if that's how they are going to start the movie itself. (During the awards, where they unveiled the trailer, girls in the audience started screaming when Jacob started running and taking his shirt off.) I did want to see the scene with Bella in the Guardian at the gas station though. The wedding looks beautiful. Did you notice that Stephenie Meyer, Melissa Rosenberg, and Wyck Godfrey are in attendance at the ceremony? Even more startling though, was when I saw that Edward actually COMBED HIS HAIR! *Dramatic gasp and hand motions* Honestly, it gave me flashbacks to Goblet of Fire. They both looked great. I love how Bella looks so simple, but exquisite at the same time. I really liked the part where they revealed 'the baby bump' if you will. I don't know why. It kind of seemed like a different side of Bella that Stewart was saving for specifically for that part. All in all, I thought the trailer was awesome, and honestly I think the movie is going to be even better than I had been expecting.

I did get to watch the Switched at Birth premiere, so I should be review that soon, and as far as books go, I don't know. I've actually read quite a few books lately, but none of them have seemed...blogable. ~"Forever is only the beginning."

Review and Recap: MTV Movie Awards

If you are a Twilighter such as myself, I'm sure just about everything about the MTV Movie Awards last night made you happy. Well...almost everything. There was that part where

ROBERT PATTINSON KISSED TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!

WHAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!?

But more on that later. (Talk about an attention grabber!)

The night began with the award for Best Male Performance which Robert Pattinson, of course, took home the popcorn for. I have to say, I was disappointed by his speech. Very vague, very lame, very boring. Sorry Spunk Ransom.

Tom Felton got the award for Best Villain for his roll as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One. I can't tell you much about that...I'm not much of a Harry Potter fan. (Though I do think Emma Watson is amazing.)

I was incredibly disappointed by the Best Dropping Moment Award. It was given to Justin Bieber for a scene in Never Say Never. Yes, that is a movie, but it's not like the other nominees with actual actors and actresses! I was disappointed Inception didn't win in this category. 

Eclipse's second win was for Best Fight. I have to agree that I was impressed the first time I saw the face off between Rob, Bryce, and Xavier. I didn't realize that Bryce Dallas Howard was pregnant until Rob (when accepting the award) said "I ripped your head off and now you're pregnant!" Always the classy guy, Rob is.

All the nominee's for best kiss were good, but Rob and Kristen in Eclipse took the cake. This is where things got interesting. I couldn't find a vid on YouTube...so click here. My emotions began at shock, then I was laughing, repulsed, thoroughly repulsed, laughing again, and laughing hysterically. It was a weird moment to be a Twilight fan. I must add that I loved Kristen's dress!!! Rob and Kristen are so cute together!!! Okay, I'm done...

"I wanna get chocolate wasted!" one in the new category, Best Line From a Movie. This was in Grown-Ups. Both Hollie and I were disappointed "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling," from Inception didn't get that one.

Kristen Stewart got Best Female Performance for Eclipse, and Best Comedic Performance was Emma Stone in Easy A.

Now, there were a lot of good movies this year. So, out of Inception, Eclipse, Black Swan, Deathly Hallows, and The Social Network, I truly didn't know who would win for Best Movie of the year. In the end, thought, Eclipse got the award. There were so many people on stage! The Cullens, and the pack, and Bella's friends....the stage was full by the time they also got that hamster wheel up there!

After alllllll that, my true reason for watching finally arrived. The Breaking Dawn Part One teaser trailered was revealed. I think you've all had enough squeals and giggles for one post, so make sure to check back for a review of the trailer real soon. Also, Switched at Birth premiers tonight on ABC Family and I plan on reviewing that! There's lots coming up, so make sure to come on back, ya hear?
