MY MOVIE REVIEWS (Spoiler warning)

Well, I saw the new Bond movie Quantum of Solace on opening night which was the 13th. My review for that one? IT SUCKED. I fell asleep. I don't just mean I dozed off....I fell into a deep comfortable slumber that can only be achieved when you are completely bored. And I love Bond movies...I like action movies, but this one was totally lackluster for me.
TWILIGHT REVIEW: I saw the midnight showing of Twilight last night. Now you have to understand that this movie couldn't possibly live up to the hype or be as good as the book, but over all I think it was pretty good. I say "pretty good" because it wasn't a life altering good movie. But I didn't expect it to be. It really just introduces Bella and Edward and the other characters and the general plot of the whole series which is basically forbidden love and the fact that she's human and he's a vampire. I think the next movie will be better because the plot thickens so much more as the series goes on. Also, it was definately geared toward young teenage girls and I'm 25 so I was left kind of wanting more substance. But, in this first movie you haven't even heard of the Volturi, the "shape shifters".... Victoria hasn't made her newborn army yet, etc. I think the next movie will be better but this one was a pretty good start. The casting was excellent except for Jacob. I'm hoping after his growth spurt over the summer they get someone else to play the grown up Jacob.

Casino Royale sucked, so I'm not interested in Quantum...

I just got home from Twilight and...I LOVED IT. I, too, went in with zero expectations. But overall, loved it. I'm excited for the rest:)

I thought Jacob was decent. He doesn't look anything like I pictured him. He has a strange nose! Maybe they will get someone else, but I don't think they will. I think they chose him at the perfect age, so he will actually do a lot of growing and beefing up naturally (kind of like the Harry Potter kids). Who knows? I personally can't picture that kid in the scene where he's standing in front of his motorcycle at her school with his tight black shirt. My vision of that moment is too hot for that boy. I'll try really hard to go to the next movie with no expectations. It's tough though, being on team Jacob and all. What's a girl to do?

Jacob reminded me of a shoe. If he were in fact a shoe, I'd find him uncomfortable and stinky. Where's my milk? Where's all the white women at?

I AGREE STACY. JACOB IS NOT NEARLY AS HOT AS I PICTURED HIM IN MY MIND. I MEAN HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE 6FT FOUR AND LIKE A MUSCULAR SWIMMER'S BODY IS HOW I PICTURED HIM. AND A LESS ROUND FACE...MORE SHARP FEATURES. I GUESS WE NEED TO WRITE THE DIRECTOR AND TELL HER HOW HE'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK :-)
