'Eclipse' Fails to Eclipse the Movies

Hey Everyone!

So nothing to report in the last week autism wise surprisingly. I feel the running and early nights and everything have really been helping me immensely and I feel my maturity has improved too. I'm finally developing into what I've wanted to be.

As for the title of my post, it's quite simple, I saw Eclipse, and it was horrid. So here's my review:

Going into 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse', I had high hopes that this film would blow the first two out of the water. The dreary acting, the Jacob-Bella-Edward love triangle, and the fact a rock could act with more emotion than Kristen Stewart, didn't give me much hope and sadly I was not disappointed that once again I was delivered with another sequel that deserved to stay as a book.

I'll accept that Kristen Stewart perhaps was able to get a few acting lessons in as she for once displayed some form of emotion. Unfortunately the back and forth action of Bella choosing Jacob, then Edward, then Jacob, then Edward again did unfortunately consume the majority of the movie, to the point where I saw people falling asleep in the theatre which is quite interesting to point out that this movie was so dull people actually were falling asleep because of it....

The only two good things that came from the film were that of Nikki Reed's scene in which she told the history of her character, Rosalie Hale, and how she was transformed to a vampire. This scene was well acted and Nikki was able to bring the character to life which perhaps partially saved the film. The true savior of the film however was that of the battle between the Cullen Clan and the Werewolves against the Newborn Vampires that Victoria had created. This probably was the best part simply because it was the only action sequence in the whole film and was exciting to look at.

All in all, Eclipse was a relatively dry film that I wish had never crossed my eyes. In the case of the books, they should never have been made into films. You can't make a film that has poor writing, and you definitely can't make a film that is about 95% talking about a vampire-human-werewolf love fest constantly. Sad thing is, it will probably make over a hundred million at the box office.

That's my thought anyways...what's yours?

And You Can Say You're Sorry

Sorry everyone for being late again! It's just gotten difficult to remember when you have so many other things on your mind with exams on it's way.

I basically woke up yesterday at 11AM, and got ready for work with Chris. I took him to see New Moon, which I was shocked he wanted to see. He seemed to be okay with it, but man he talks a lot in movies and talks loud. I talk at times too...but I generally try to whisper a bit more...though sometimes even I don't do that.

After the movie we went to the book store and I talked with the book store ladies I know well, and then let Chris look at some of the preschool books.

Once the bookstore was done, I took Chris home and then headed home myself. When I got home I just watched television as my parents headed to the movies. Around 8 I finally made myself dinner, and around 11:30 I started playing Assassin's Creed. I then got to bed at 2:30, but got up again at four. It was difficult to sleep last night because of how I've been feeling. I haven't been sick, but just been having problems with my body, namely allergies and a pain in my right leg. I don't know why my right leg was in pain, but I hope it's going to get better soon. (It's feeling close to normal today, Sunday, but still needs a bit of work.)

Hope everyone had a good day yesterday. Talk to you later tonight.

New Moon

Hey Everyone!
Man I'm getting behind on this, but I'll try and get back to it tomorrow if I can.

To begin with I got up at 12:30PM and got ready for class. I then headed to said classes and that really was all there was to it frankly...

I then got back from class and just sort of sat around doing nothing until around 8:30. I headed over to Masonville Mall and got in line for the lovely New Moon film. I swear the line up though were to the concession stand, it was so freaking long. When Ashley arrived and we finally got in I swear it was so hard finding seats. We got stuck front row so while our necks actually didn't get sore like I thought they would, we still had to crane our necks and look up.

The film itself was awesome. Amazing how much Taylor Lautner bulked up for that film, I can't help but wonder what his process was cause I'd definitely not mind having that erm physique I guess is the word, just so that like I'd probably wind up a LOT healthier and just wouldn't have to....hide my "gut" *insert laugh here*. But the rest of the film just was great, every thing about it just was excellent. But that's probably only cause I like the Twilight series. As a reviewer I watched on Youtube said "if you like Twilight then you'll like the film, but if you don't like Twilight only go if you want to see six guys shirtless for the entire film." Which is pretty hilarious frankly.

After that, Ash and I returned home, we talked briefly in Lauren's room as we didn't want to keep Roxanne up as she had an exam early morning. I then headed home and here we are.

Night all!
