Premiere: Switched at Birth

Daphne and Bay, the
two girls that were switched.
 ABC Family's new series Switched at Birth premiered on Monday, and I decided to tune in.

They didn't waste any time, trust me. They cut right to the chase. About 10 minutes into the show, they had already gotten to the part where the two families realized the two girls were switched. (For those who don't know, the show is about two teenage girls who were, well switched....at birth. Yeah I know what you're thinking. "Thank you, Captain Obvious.)

Toby is all the way on the right,
and Daphne is second from
the left.

Two characters I really like are Daphne and Toby. Daphne is deaf, but she has a great, positive attitude about it. I want to know more about her boyfriend though. Toby is the brother of Bay, on of the girls that was switched. I don't know what it is I like about him. He is funny. Maybe it's because he's Lucas Grabeel?

Anywho, I thought it was pretty good. I plan on watching it again next week. It's on Monday's at 9 on ABC Family. If you watch the upcoming episode, but missed last week, you can catch the premiere episode here.

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?
