Twilight (2008)
It would not be about vampires, but a teenage romance between two attractive teens who love each other because they care so much. Sometimes, that’s all it is about. They are in love with each other. They have a passionate disagreement over whether he should murder her in “Twilight”. She says, “I don’t want to die.” But if it’s necessary, she’ll be there. His devotion touches her deeply. Imagine what he has done for her. He teeters on the edge of a fang job on Prom Night. Then he brings all her trembling to an impasse.
The movie is beautiful and lush, and the actors are carefully chosen. Robert Pattinson (Edward), who plays Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” may be familiar. Perhaps he was already an immortal. Pattinson doesn’t realize how handsome he really is. Bella and Edward exchange stern, burning glances in the school cafeteria. Edward transfixes Bella with a dark, glowering, and penetrating stare. I found that Pattinson almost always shines at the camera with a shadowed brow. Kristen Stewart’s Bella is, however, a young innocent who is completely undefended against his voltage.
Other strange youths are also out there, including American Indians, who seem not too distantly related to their tribe’s ancestors the wolves. There is a lot of tension between vampires and wolves. There are also rival vampires. This town is tiny! Forks high school must be serving a large area that serves the entire table setting. Bella is asked to the prom by the main Normal Kid in the area. He has a lovely sandy haired boy. He is out of his depth here unless he can transform into a grizzly. There are also four grey-bearded coots sitting at the next table at the local diner. They eavesdrop, exchange significant glances, get large, significant close-ups, but are still merely sitting significantly nodding.
Edward can move as fast as Superman. He can stop a runaway pickup using one arm, just like Superman. Bella was saved twice by him, perhaps because he loves her deeply or because he wants to save her for later. She has questions. “How did you suddenly appear out of nowhere to stop the truck?” She might ask. He finally admits that he is a vampire and she increases her Erotometer score from 8 to 10. Why is it that girls prefer distant, aloof and handsome, dangerous men to cheerful guys like me?
Catherine Hardwicke directed the movie, which was based on Stephanie Meyer’s novel. She uses her great discovery, Nikki Reed, in the role of the beautiful Rosalie Hale. Reed wrote Hardwick’s “Thirteen” (2003) when she was only 14. This movie knew more about teenage girls than any other. Edward would be proud of the girl played by Reed. However, I can see why Twilight appeals to you.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
In his absence she’s befriended by Jake (Taylor Lautner), that nice American Indian boy. “You’ve gotten all buff!” He tells her. He’s a real buff and soon he doesn’t wear a shirt anymore and he stands outside in the rain like a wild animal. Remember, they don’t have to wear coats like us. God gave them theirs.
The movie’s target audience of five percent won’t know that Jake is a werewolf.
Bella: So…you are a werewolf?
Jake: I last checked.
Bella: “Can you not find a way…just to stop?”
Jake (patiently). “
Sam, another tribe member, influences Jake or controls him. He is like the alpha wolf. Sam and his three companions are often seen in long shots, shirtless in rain, and hanging around the clearing’s edges as if they want to grab fresh meat.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
The price you pay to give up your virginity in “The Twilight Saga, Eclipse” is so high that even Edward Cullen (the tool of surrender) balks at it. You would be like him. Bella Swan, the noble heroine, has to be willing and able to pay this price. It seems that if you marry a vampire (even Edward), he will bite you.
The third installment of this endlessly entertaining series, “Eclipse”, presents the romantic dilemma by adding an additional complication that has been growing Since the beginning. Jacob Black, the shape-shifting waswolf, is also in a relationship with Bella (Kristen Stewart). She may even be with him. Jacob (Taylor Lautner), and his tribe, are hot-blooded and don’t wear shirts. This inspires little smiles and ripples in the movie audience.This fantasy is sure to be a hit in romance novels: A sweet little girl must choose between two handsome, tall, handsome men who smolder and yearn after her.
There is no perfect solution. There are always problems.Victoria, a flame-haired vampire, has been active in Seattle initiating new vampires (or Newbies), who, in their youth, are hungry for blood and would have a superhuman strength if they were humans. Victoria plans to kill Bella as revenge for James’ murder. Jacob and Edward both promise to protect Bella, and the vampires and werewolves who are with them will fight for their cause. This is true buddy-love.
Although the movie does contain violence and death, it is not very violent. It listens to conversations between Bella, Edward, Bella, Jacob, Edward, Jacob, Edward, Bella, and Bella. It would be more entertaining if they were all conversationalists. However, their ideas are limited to simple renderings of their wishes. There is also a valedictory speech, which reminds us that these children have been out of school for three movies. Edward gives a moving speech to Bella in which he says he won’t have sex until after he’s married. This is self-denial for a 109 year-old vampire. His actions add a spicy flavor to the category of “confirmed bachelor.”
Much has been written about Taylor Lautner’s muscles, and especially his abs. He is a strong man with a good build. But, I must remind you, for a shape-shifter, an abdominal six-pack should only take five seconds. Edward and Jacob’s ability to look at Bella with piercing eyes from ‘neath really good eyebrows is even more impressive. My eyebrows become like Edward’s and the barber trims them without asking me.
The special effects are problematic. Many of the mountain ranges that disappear in the distance as ever-paler peaks appear suspiciously like the landscapes that the TV artist shows you how to paint. We should have Lewis and Clark just arrived at these mountain forests and lakes. The werewolves are amazing. Although they look quite snarling, have sharp fangs, and are larger than normal ponies, the werewolves never seem to be able to stop Newbies from getting the job done. One werewolf is almost crushed to death and another hears that “he has broken bones all over one side.” Dr. Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli), can repair the damage in a matter of hours.. Problem with these effects is that the wolves do not seem to be able to maintain their physical weights or even presence.
It all leads to Bella’s cries in the middle of a blizzard. This is clearly a job for Edward and Jacob, who are hot-blooded. Edward embraces Bella and begins to warm her. Edward then admits that Edward would like Jacob if he were not a werewolf. Jacob then admits that Edward wouldn’t be able to love Edward if he were a vampire. Come on, big guy. You are making eye contact. Edward has been a bachelor for 109 year. Get into the spirit of the Brokeback.
This film was watched with great interest by the audience. The audience was clearly very familiar with the story. I doubt anyone who didn’t know the first installments could understand the film. The “Twilight”, movies use chaste eroticism as a way to feed adolescent fantasies. They are about Bella being attracted, titillated, aroused, and tempted to the… very brink! of surrender.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 (2011)
Bella Swan (Stewart), has had a difficult time. Edward Cullen, her high school sweetheart (Pattinson), was a non-practicing bloodsucker. Jacob, Jacob’s rebound, became a wolf. After she and Edward reconnected, homeboy couldn’t even lift a pet without awakening the vampire inside. She’s now 18 and all the years of sexual repression she endured are over. But, there’s no way to turn it around. A vibrator, women’s studies classes and even the Sex and City box sets can help.
This isn’t that movie. This is, in fact, the exact same movie that we have been watching since childhood: Bella wants it and Edward will not let go. Even after the wedding that opens this fourth adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight books, the topic of will-they-or-won’t-they is still on the table. Their honeymoon ends with Edward breaking the bed and accidentally roughing Bella. She reassures Edward that she is fine and doesn’t mean to hurt her. It creepily smells like battered-wife syndrome. Edward vows to stop all carnal pleasures. Wouldn’t Bella rather play another game chess? The Twilight series made it official for me, from harmless Victorian-minded trash to something completely pernicious.
It’s also boring. To accommodate Meyer’s overflowing action, the filmmakers split Meyer’s fourth and final book into two parts. All that must have been saved for Part 2. Part 1 involves endless exchanges of dewy and sulky looks among Bella, Edward, and others. Melissa Rosenberg, screenwriter, continues her long tradition in scripting absurdly banal dialogue that is subtext-free. She also grasps at the profundity and intelligence of her superiors by using poetry in her prologues. (Sex-positive Edna St. Vincent Millay must be sulking in her grave. These final two parts will be directed by Bill Condon (Dreamgirls and Chicago, Gods and Monsters). His most notable contribution to the series is a frighteningly staged birth scene. This should make sex more acceptable for teens, which is exactly what this dumb and punishing series was trying to do from the beginning.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (2012)
While there are many laughs in this fifth and final installment, “Breaking Dawn Part 2” is a serious entry in any major movie franchise. Its audience, who takes these films seriously, will surely drink heavily from its blood. It is impossible to accuse the closing sequence of this sensational film of leaving any loopholes, even if we knew they existed.
We see the new Bella in an entertaining sequence when her husband, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), takes her on a test drive, so to speak, as a vampire. She can move from one place to another in a matter of seconds, see the details of nature in great detail and win hand-to-paw battle with a mountainlion. Edward and she witness a mountain climber fall and dangle from his rope. She’s climbing the mountain nakedhanded in a flash. My hopelessly optimistic assumption is that she was trying to save her friend’s life. Not precisely.
Edward shows Bella the new cottage for their honeymoon. She decides it is “perfect”, unlike many brides. It’s filled with books from wall to wall, so you won’t guess which one she takes down. Never ever.
Edward and Bella spend much of their time in a living room with Jacob (Taylor Lautner), Emmett, and a list of other vampires (the movie concludes with photo credits for each actor in the series). They exchange a great deal more dialogue than I required, but students of the Stephenie Meyer novels, who made this 700-page-plus volume a best-seller, really like that stuff, I guess.
All this leads to a bitter climax between Washington State vampires, and the leaders, an Italian group called the Volturi. They are presented with many of the same trappings that an order of monks, but they have some of the same trappings. They appear to be the ones in control of the vampire world and are worried that their secrets might get out since a half-breed was born. They’re led by Aro (Michael Sheen), who even among top vampires, has an impressive presence. A few hundred Volturi are fighting several dozen international vampires on a vast, snowy plain. One of the vampires declares, “The redcoats will come!” He can forgive his error, as he was a soldier in British invasions.
The “Twilight”, series is not for me. As I wrote of “Twilight” (2008), “It’s about a teenage boy trying to practice abstinence, and how, in the heat of the moment, it’s really, really hard. A girl who is determined to follow him no matter what happens. He is so beautiful, she would do anything to be with him. She is the epitome of the sentiment “I would die for you.” Like many teenagers, she is a thanatophile.
I have now seen something like 10 hours about these vampires as they progress through immortality, and I’d rather see either version of “Nosferatu” that many times. It’s true that “Part 2” is the best way to end the series. Summit Entertainment must have been very reluctant to close the curtain on a series that had grossed billions of dollars, but they did it and I think fans will be happy.
