Plot Summary - Teen Vampire movie. Teenage Bella (Kristen Stewart) moves in with her dad who lives in the very small town of Forks, Washington where she starts up as new girl at the local high school. She meets a very strange, handsome young man, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), who at first seems to hate her as he gives her some pretty dark looks. His whole family of "foster siblings" who also attend the school are a very weird bunch indeed. Well - Bella and Edward are drawn to each other, he befriends her (almost unwillingly), and then always seems to be right there to save her when she is in some sort of danger (which is often). Okay - he can zoom like lightning through the air, is super strong, can read minds, and longs to taste Bella's blood (but luckily for her, holds himself back) - yeah, he's a vampire from a family of vampires. They are soon a teen couple in love, a very weird relationship.
Review - Okay, I found this film very entertaining - cool vampire stuff combined with typical teen high school movie (well, not so typical actually - no "mean girls" at this school). Well - it seems pretty obvious that the weird Cullen kids are, indeed, vampires - a group of kids who all have red lips, white skin, and weird yellowish gleaming eyes - think it'd be sort of obvious. But only the Indians from the local reservation seem to have a clue what's going on in this town! Nice on-location photography in a pretty, woodsy, often rainy small town enhances the film. I also enjoyed the scenes with the three nomad vampires - the baseball game and the way the special effects made the trio look like they were moving really fast, all pretty cool. I have not read the books, so went into this film with no knowledge of the story - I really enjoyed it. Rating - 9.5/10 stars
