When Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) reluctantly moved to the perpetually overcast town of Forks, WA, and set out to carve a niche for herself, she assumed it would be one similar to the low-profile social position she held back in Phoenix. First on the list of surprises was the unfamiliar attention from the male population of her new high school; second, the attention from one male in particular: Edward Cullen, Vampire (Robert Pattinson). Before long, the unlikely soul mates find themselves in a passionate relationship with a variety of significant setbacks, including Edward's special-needs diet (he doesn't eat humans, but Bella's scent inspires a nearly impossible to harness bloodlust) and the human girl's mortality. Though things proceed relatively smoothly at first (Edward even introduces Bella to his adoptive vampire family), a visiting vampire clan consisting of James (Cam Gigandet), Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), and Laurent (Edi Gathegi) catches Bella's unique scent and threatens the young couple's budding, if dangerous, happiness. James, known for his powerful tracking ability, becomes obsessed with making Bella his next victim. Fearing for Bella's safety and that of her loved ones, the Cullens must combine their collective talents in order to stop the highly predatory James before his goal is accomplished.It's no secret that I've anticipated this movie. I'm really enjoying the books, written by Stephanie Meyer. I dragged Mike to the theater to see this one. This was the first time that I read the book before watching the movie so I felt I would be disappointed,you can never put everything in a movie with a time limit. Mike said the story flowed well but for me it seemed choppy in the beginning. It didn't detract from how much I enjoyed the movie, I loved it and now when I re-read the book I can see the actors in my mind... who were absolutely perfect choices for their parts. They nailed everyone perfectly in my opinion.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next movie in the series...New Moon :D
Harrison Ford reprises his role as the iconic, snake-loathing screen hero in a sequel that also finds Karen Allen returning to the series for the first time since 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark. Ray Winstone, John Hurt, Jim Broadbent, and Shia LaBeouf round out a cast that also features Cate Blanchett in the role of villainous Russian operative Agent Irina Spalko.We watched this in the theater. It was good, very much like the other Indiana Jones movies. A good sequel but had one or two unrealistic parts. Lots of action in this flick... great movie.
Jerry Shaw (LaBeouf) and Rachel Holloman (Monaghan) were complete strangers at the beginning of the day, but that changed the instant a strange woman called to threaten both their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Suddenly forced into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, Jerry and Rachel must now take orders from a woman who's using everyday technology to track and control their every move. As the situation intensifies and the hapless duo are deemed the country's most wanted fugitives, they must work together in order to discover who it was that turned their lives upside down, and what they can do to thwart the criminal mastermind's cunning yet diabolical plan.
Mike and I watched this in the theater, It was awesome. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. We would definately see it again.

Yes I felt the same way about the Harry Potter series yet I still can't help reading the book again a few weeks before we go and then feel a little diapointed that they did not do it justice. but I did feel the conection with the sceen actors that made the later books easier to read.
