Twilight the movie
I love the Twilight series. They are my favorite books, besides Harry Potter.
Yesterday I was able to see the movie. Everyone has their own opinion of it, but this is my review.
Many people already know this was a low budget film, and it was very obvious. Whoever did the make-up and hair jobs needs to be fired. The film kind-of reminded me of something that would be shown at a film festival, so it seemed amateurish. I thought it needed better character development. I think in this particular story the characters are more important than the actual plot. The characters are what draw you into the story, but I didn't think the movie did that as well. Everyone also knows this is a love story. Yeah in the book, there were some cheesy parts, but in the movie, some of the "romantic" scenes seemed too laughable.
I thought the character that was portrayed the best was Charlie (Bella's dad), and my other favorites were Alice, and Emmett (they are a couple of the vampires.) I wish they had bigger parts. My least favorite was the actor who played Jasper. During the whole movie his eyes looked like they have been glued open. In the book he is supposed to look emotional, but in the movie they made him look like he's in shock all the time. I couldn't help but laugh everytime he was on the screen; His facial expression was hilarious.
My favorite scene in the whole movie was the baseball scene. It was well done, and I wished it had lasted longer. It was fun to watch.
I really tried not to compare the movie with the book. Obviously it was no where near as good as the book. This film could have used a lot of improvement. Overall I thought it was okay, maybe if I watched it again i would like it better since I'll know what to expect.
But since the movie did so well this weekend the production company decided to make the sequel, New Moon. Hopefully this movie brings in enough money so they will be able to have a larger budget, and create a better movie.

Snowboard
I have a week off for Thanksgiving. So I came to Sandy, UT during my break. Next semester I plan on taking a snowboarding class. So as a Christmas present my parents let me buy a snowboard, and the other equipment that goes with it. I am very excited to take snowboarding!
