Twilight (2008) is one of the most well known and hottest movies around right now.  Being that Halloween is just around the corner, as well as the sequel, New Moon (landing in theaters on November 20), I thought this was the perfect time to do a review on not only one of my favorite movies, but book as well.

Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) moves to a small town named Forks in Washington.  Her mother is moving to Florida with her stepfather, so Bella thought she would move up north to spend some time with her real father, Charlie (Billy Burke).  Bella begins her first day of school, and notices a peculiar group of students sitting all by themselves, with one in particular staring at her.  The teenagers at Bella’s table explain that they are the Cullens.  They were all adopted by Mr. Cullen, one of the town’s doctors and his wife.  Bella meets Edward (Robert Pattinson) for the first time in Biology.  He looks apalled that the new girl, Bella, needs to sit next to him and be his lab partner.  He makes as little contact as possible.  This make Bella curious to why he is acting like that, and starts to get more information about the Cullens.  Edward misses quite a few days of school, and when he comes back, Bella approaches him and wants to know why he is treating her this way.  He plays it off and she goes with the flow.  Later on, Bella is in the parking lot with her ipod on, and a car squeals out of control almost taking her life.  Out of no where, Edward is there saving her life.  This makes Bella even more curious, and she researches exactly who Edward really is.

She finds out he is a vampire and he does not deny it.  He takes her to one of the deepest parts of the forest and explains everything to her.  From there, a deep romance begins.  Bella starts to meet the rest of the family, Alice (Ashley Greene) becomes very close to Bella and is very excited that Edward has found someone new.  Rosalie (Nikki Reed) on the other hand, does not want anything to do with Bella, as she is a human and feels she is bringing great danger to their family.  As their romance blossoms, people to start to wonder, including one of Bella’s friends Jacob (Taylor Lautner) who becomes very concerned and wants her to stay away from the Cullens.  Bella thanks Jacob for being protective, but says she can handle it.  The Cullens invite Bella over to play a game of baseball, and a couple of vampires pass through town.  They get a whiff of Bella’s blood, and the vampire James (Cam Gigandet) wants to attack.  The Cullens get rid of Bella and send her somewhere right away, but James know what he wants and is does everything in his power to find her.  Bella is taken to Phoenix, where James is waiting for her in her old ballet studio, and the fighting begins.  She is bit, and Edward comes in to fight James and has to try to save Bella’s life.

Twilight is a very intense movie with a lot of romance and mystery behind the vampire clan.  The Twilight Series (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn) are some of the best books I have ever read. They are books that I could never put down because you dont know what is going to happen next.  I feel in love with the story and everyone will enjoy this movie, as their is action for the guys and romance for the girls.  I give twilight 5 stars!  I saw it the night it came out in the theaters, and I own the blu-ray as well.  I could watch the movie, over and over again!
