LOVED TWILIGHT!!!

Well, I didn't go to the midnight showing of Twilight. This darn cold I have just wouldn't make it a pretty sight if I stayed up all night. But, just the same, I went yesterday afternoon and saw it with Mark. He really liked it, to his surprise!! I knew he would like it, so I turned it into our date night and just told him to plan on going with me! He and I both agreed we could see it again...

I'm really glad I didn't re-read the book again just to get all the facts straight because the movie can't fit every single detail of the storyline, and I didn't want to get disappointed in the blockbuster!


Reasons why I LOVED twilight:

~there was awesome chemistry between the actors who played Bella and Edward...it had to be there, otherwise it would have failed miserably!

~the storyline was followed pretty closely

~because Mark liked it, it made me like it even more...it isn't just for teenie boppers who are boy crazy! Grown men like it too!

~it was super romantic, action packed and drama filled.

During the movie, Mark kept asking me...does he bite her? Does she die? What's going to happen? So now I'm going to get him the audio book so we can listen to it...because I know him...he won't read it! But now that he's hooked on the story, he'll enjoy the sequels that much more!
Maybe we'll go back to see it in the theaters after Thanksgiving!

David already told me he doesn't want to go see it. I think I will have to trick him into it somehow, though he might not be the best company.

It was good. The character's chemistry was really the key for me. The actors did a great job. Now I need to take my husband!!

Oh i re-read the book and so I noticed all this stuff... but it was still fun. You have to take it for what it's worth- you know, the movie is never as good as the book.

Tanner totally listened to the book! That's so funny that Mark wants to listen to it, too. I think it's an easy one to listen to because it is so descriptive. I really liked it and can't wait for New Moon! -someday... :-)

I saw it on Friday night and also enjoyed it. I was going into it not expecting much because I knew it wouldn't be as good as the book, so I was pleasantly surprised. I am trying to get my hubby to come see it with me...no such luck yet!
