Twilight...The MOVIE!!!



So........I really liked it.
My favorite scenes were when Rosalie smashed the salad bowl in her hands because Bella had already eaten and when Edward jumped across the room when he was kissing Bella because he was trying not to bite her and suck out her blood.
I am, however, a little annoyed with Kristen Stewart's performance at the end when Bella is in the hospital and freaks out on Edward when he tells her she should go to Jacksonville. I felt like it wasn't pointed enough, targeted enough, concentrated enough. I felt like it was all over the place and she should have like...I don't know...freaked out but maybe grabbed him at the same time so he couldn't get away. I think it would have gotten the point across better. I guess that's what I'm saying. I feel that way about all the scenes where she had to be frantic in some way.
I want to see it again so I can better like her perfomance throughout the movie, I guess.
All in all, I think it was a great adaptation and I can't wait for NEW MOON!!!

Quick updates







Halloween was fun.
Our Ward had a Trunk or Treat the weekend before and so we went.
Good Food. Good Dessert. The activity part was watching some families play a kind of "Fear Factor" game. It was funny.
Then we went out and Trunk or Treated in the 17 degree weather.
Evan was Bumblebee from Transformers and Ava was a butterfly.(bottom two pics)
On Halloween: The base Trick or Treating started at 6pm. It was 14 degrees that day. So Evan's Bumbleebee costume wasn't going to be warm enough and he had also worn it out from wearing all week while he was home sick from school. So he wore his shark costume from last year because he could wear clothes under that and the his coat. I bundled Ava up with an extra hat underneath her hood and mittens and blanket in a wagon and headed out. (top two pics) Evan wouldn't listen and didn't put socks on and only wore his rain boots instead of snow boots and so we were only out for 30 minutes and then came home. Ate candy and handed out what we had. Evan liked that part the best, I think.
