Below is the first-ever image of Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy) from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn &#8211; Part 2, which hits theaters on November 16, 2012. One thing is certain: Edward and Bella&#8217;s love of hanging out in flowering meadows is definitely genetic.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Am I the only person in America who doesn&#8217;t see the appeal of Amanda Seyfried? I didn&#8217;t see Mamma Mia! (thank the LORD), so maybe I&#8217;m missing some perspective that is vital in my critique, but I have seen Jennifer&#8217;s Body and I wasn&#8217;t that impressed. Either way, I&#8217;m getting ahead of myself. Who is not as important as what in the case of the upcoming horror movie Red Riding Hood, helmed by Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke. Honestly, upon seeing this trailer at the press screening for Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part I, I had two thoughts: First, and simple, was a prompt and succinct WTF!, and second was Red Riding Hood feels very, um, Twilighty. I&#8217;m not turned on by this preview, but I&#8217;m sure the target audience (those breathlessly waiting for Breaking Dawn and who think Stephanie Meyer invented werewolves) will think this movie is the bee&#8217;s knees. Red Riding Hood stars the aforementioned Seyfried as the title character, as well as Gary Oldman (The Book of Eli), Virginia Madsen (The Haunting in Connecticut), Billy Burke (Twilight) and Shiloh Fernandez (The United States of Tara). Further proof this movie is bait for Twilight lovers? Shiloh Fernandez was one of the finalists for the Edward Cullen role in Hardwicke&#8217;s Twilight. Check out the trailer after the jump and let me know your thoughts!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Twilight Saga: Eclipse got a brand new trailer today &#8211; unveiled on Oprah &#8211; and while there isn’t any “I’ll fight for you until your heart stops beating” lines of love from six-packed lycans, there are certainly enough WTF moments to cause the Twitarded folks to scratch their heads and drool, which means there is enough nerd candy for the Twihards to suck on until June 30. I count myself, luckily, as Twilight illiterate, so I honestly had no clue what I was watching in this minute-plus clip. However, maybe it’s the rough quality from our pals at TrailerSpy.com, but this trailer seems a step down from the Eclipse full-length preview that hit the web in March. Or maybe it’s all the talk of this “epic battle” in Eclipse and all I see is a bunch of pasty-skinned Banana Republic models having it out with some Pound Puppies. Let&#8217;s be frank, this looks like turd. So…Twilight fans…please, enlighten me – what do you see in this preview that makes you either (a) giddy or (b) disappointed? Do the images onscreen seem to fit the story told in the book?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a fan of The Twilight Saga, but this poster blows. I know, I know. I sound surprised. I&#8217;m not, but if I was a fan, I&#8217;d be disappointed. Plus, am I the only one who can&#8217;t figure out why Bella isn&#8217;t picking Jacob over Edward? I mean, just from the poster wouldn&#8217;t you go with the dependable hunk over the pasty-skinned, brooding vampire who is always running away? Seems clear to me, but then girls generally like the douchebags, so go figure. I suppose what they say is true: Nice guys do finish last. Enjoy the poster. Or not.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Twilight is what it is: Love it, hate it or care less. I don&#8217;t begrudge anyone their love for the series, but tend to hold coats in the &#8220;care less&#8221; line. The new trailer for the latest entry (directed by 30 Days of Night&#8216;s David Slade and chomping at the bit for its June 30 release) doesn&#8217;t help, considering it could have easily been used for last year&#8217;s New Moon. Has such a simple story ever felt like its climax has been so needlessly strung out? You know, besides Harry Potter? Bella: I hate my life&#8230; wait! Oh, you&#8217;re hot. And pale. Edward: Yes, I am. I&#8217;m also a 100-something year old pedophile, but luckily I&#8217;m trapped in this teenage body because I&#8217;m a vampire. Bella: &#8211;Swoon&#8211; I&#8217;m so in love with you. Edward: I love you too. And by I love you too, I mean you smell really good and I want to eat your neck. Bella: Go for it, but I think some other vampires want my neck. Edward: No they don&#8217;t. I killed them. Bella: Swoon. Jacob: Wait, Bella. I love you too&#8230; but I&#8217;m a werewolf. Bella: Gross. Wet dogs stink. Edward: Hey guys, what&#8217;s up? I went away for a while but now I&#8217;m back. Bella: I want you in my underpants. Edward: You sure? Ok. Beat it, Jacob. Bella: I&#8217;m preggers. Edward: Sweet. Bella: Here, Jacob. I like you. You can have my vampire daughter. Jacob: Sweet. I love her. Bella: Swoon. THE END. That said&#8230; Cougars, unfulfilled housewives, teen ladies and the handful of guys still in the closet about loving this stuff, your wait is over. Behold the trailer for Twilight: Eclipse.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I realize it’s easy and popular to bash the Twihards, Stephanie Meyer’s craptastic writing and the whole fabric of the Twilight universe, but while I poke fun at the fanbase (divided equally between cougars and those who just bought training bras), I do think some people tend to bash the movies and books simply because of the mass appeal. However, with that said, when I see Twilight fans sending ignorant hate mail, it just makes me want to mock them ceaselessly. Check out the email below, sent to George Roush of the website LatinoReview.com. If you’re having a bad Friday and need a good laugh, read Kayla Patterson’s words below or visit their website to see the email complete with attached images. Try not to punch your own loins in the process. Yes, she is that dumb. To whom this may concern: This movie was a complete waste and I feel that it offends ALL Twilight Fans around the world, that including myself. For one, it was a COMPLETE remaking of the Wolf Pack from the Twilight Saga: New Moon. It gives the werewolves a bad name and makes them look like some deformed mutation of a rabid dog. I actually started to like werewolves after seeing Jacob Black and all his awesomeness on the big screen at the movies. That was until I saw your crappy remake of what you call to be a &#8220;were wolf&#8221;. I don&#8217;t see how you live with yourself for making it the way you did. If I made this movie, I would be ashamed to even admit that I owned it. How can a werewolf be killed with a silver bullet? Better yet, have you saw the transformation of the man that is &#8220;supposed&#8221; to be the wolf? He sits in some chair and his entire body turns in to some mutated freak. If you would watch the transformation of Jacob Black, (Taylor Lautner) he doesn&#8217;t come close to looking as fake, cheap and or mutated as the wolf man.  You tell me, who looks to be the better werewolf. Your stupid Wolf Movie didn&#8217;t even make the top Movie for the charts; Valentines Day WITH TAYLOR Lautner! Get that this is MY oppinion and I felt I wanted to express it because I saw that your email was on your site. I wanted to let you know this is what i thought of the wolf man that sucks. FREAKIN LAUTNER DID!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t read one word of Stephanie Meyer&#8217;s Twilight series, but I have seen the movies and they&#8217;re nothing special. I have read two pages of Meyer&#8217;s novel, The Host, and I thought it was absolute poop. Not just poop, in fact, but cat poop, which is the worst. At any rate, I&#8217;m not going to start banging the I-Hate-Twilight drum, because I also refuse to jump on it&#8217;s sibling, the I-Dry-Hump-Twilight bandwagon. I prefer to stay Switzerland on this topic. Devin Faraci of CHUD.com isn&#8217;t so neutral on the subject of Twilight and especially the last novel of the series, Breaking Dawn. Faraci is a highly-regarded member of the online film community and is definitely a lightning rod with his succinct and oftentimes scathing opinions. However, if you happen to agree with him, he is pretty damn funny.  And while I won&#8217;t take pot shots at Meyer&#8217;s Mormon religion like Faraci does, I will agree with him that she is a terrible writer. I tip my hat to her on the success she&#8217;s had, but pound-for-pound her stories and her ability are questionable. Frankly, I think Meyer&#8217;s success can be attributed to the brainless buying many in our society do on a daily basis. If something has buzz and is ranked high on a list it must be good and worthy of my hard-earned dollars. Right? Wrong. Back to Faraci &#8211; here&#8217;s one of my favorite paragraphs in his Breaking Dawn beatdown: The baby in Bella&#8217;s belly starts growing incredibly fast. And it starts hurting Bella, as each kick it gives has the super strength of a vampire behind it. As it grows, Bella gets sicker, and then the good stuff starts. The baby kicks so hard it breaks Bella&#8217;s ribs and then severs her spine. Are you imagining Kristen Stewart wearing a fake pregnancy belly and pretending to have been suddenly crippled by her own fetus? Because I am and it&#8217;s making me laugh and laugh and laugh. He continues: Once the baby is out, Bella gets vamped by Edward, as she&#8217;s about to die at any moment. Then comes the most astonishing turn of events in 21st century literature, and possibly in the entire history of awful fiction aimed at tweens: Jacob the werewolf, who has been madly in love with Bella, sees the new baby girl and immediately imprints on her. What this means, in layman&#8217;s terms, is that he falls in love with the baby. I want to pull this out on its own: Jacob falls in love with a baby. You can read the full text of Faraci&#8217;s scathing rant here, but what do you think? Have you read Breaking Dawn? From what I gather it&#8217;s the least favorite book amongst the Twihards. Or, are we all heartless bastards? If so, please, enlighten us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New Moon is currently basking in a pile of critical distaste. It&#8217;s currently a sad and deflated 30% on Rotten Tomatoes and has 70% of listed critics giving it stink eye. Not that critical ire matters in terms of films like these. New Moon will make its money and add further fuel to the &#8220;critics are out of touch&#8221; fire&#8211; just like Twilight&#8217;s spiritual cinematic brothers G.I. Joe and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen did this summer. Critical loathing won&#8217;t make a bit of difference. And really, critical loathing is fine&#8211; it&#8217;s a collective strength of disparate film criticism. But I&#8217;m beginning to wonder if the critical hate for New Moon is legitimately aimed at the film or, as stated in my review, if it’s based on fighting to maintain disgruntled predisposition, groupthink &#8220;street cred&#8221; and the abhorrence of associating with an estrogen-fueled pop phenomenon. A dissenting review is legitimate, but the smarmy strain at repugnance I&#8217;m seeing in so many New Moon reviews seems at least partially inspired by a personal beef with the phenomenon more than the film itself. When legitimate and thoughtful critics like &#8220;Mr. Beaks&#8221; from AICN concoct racism and fault &#8220;queasily chaste narrative&#8221;, I wonder where they&#8217;re coming from. It&#8217;s one thing to dislike the movie for its technical merits, thin narrative or theme&#8211; it&#8217;s another to inject criticism for lack of sexuality and racism when it&#8217;s all based on concoction. Amorous tension has never been the exclusive domain of gettin&#8217; it on. Twilight doesn&#8217;t need a horny infusion of crotch rubbing sexuality punctuated by violent necro-sex and bloodgasm. It&#8217;s not that kind of story. If that&#8217;s your bag, your fix is waiting on HBO&#8217;s True Blood. And the accusations of racism? Really? The accusation feels more like projection (or conjuring). Why go there? Why insist Jacob is the &#8220;exploited Indian&#8221; who&#8217;s &#8220;the cure for the white girl blues&#8221; instead of a dude who simply knows how to repair motorcycles and is called upon by a friend? And maybe the &#8220;black vampire&#8221; becomes Alpo not because he&#8217;s &#8220;black and might harm the white girl&#8221;, but because he&#8217;s a villain. Why inject invented racial stereotypes by insisting they&#8217;re present? Because it&#8217;s nitpicking to further justify a predispositional stance, and it&#8217;s dumb and dishonest. The amount of Twilight loathing that&#8217;s critically peaked over the last 24 hours shows a ridiculous converse that rivals the similarly ridiculous blind love shown by the most rabid Twihards.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So now might be time to relinquish my right to continue as a bear wrestling, hairy chested, card carrying male. I unapologetically enjoyed New Moon&#8230; all in spite of itself. Qualified: &#8220;enjoyed&#8221; doesn&#8217;t mean squealing, wooing, heart-stopping delight, but rather pleasant surprise at Chris Weitz&#8217; relatively true handle on overwrought teen angst and the brief action beats that break it up.  In short, Weitz directs a film that, despite a ploddingly joyless eternal love between vampire Edward and heroine Bella (one that thankfully gets a breather for most of the movie), moves with enough humor, mild danger and character exposition to deepen and enliven a relatively shallow story. New Moon continues the inexplicable love affair* between a 100+ year old vampire and 17 year old girl, as Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattison) grimace and mope mushy one-liners back and forth while arguing over whether or not Bella should become a vampire. If love is as painful as Bella and Edward make it look, love blows. Conflict! After a birthday party mishap, Edward uncharacteristically tells Bella she sucks and he&#8217;s hitting the road for her own good. Bella, already an emotionally roiling kettle of bleary eyed stares, obsessive attachment and smile hating, descends into a love-coma and gives her friends, Dad, food and life the bird. When Bella does get back into the business of living without &#8220;Paley Von Palenheimer&#8221;, she finds Edward&#8217;s &#8220;ghost&#8221; appears whenever danger is near. Desperate for a daily hit off the Edward crack pipe, Bella gets crazy with stuff like cliff jumping and repairing motorcycles. The motorcycle time puts Bella in touch with her gearhead Native-American &#8211;and werewolf!&#8211; pal Jacob (Taylor Lautner). As the rule goes, when you&#8217;re not near the one you love, selfishly cling to the one you&#8217;re near. Sorry, Jacob. In the mean time, Jacob&#8217;s werewolf brethren feistily roam the forest chasing fire-haired Victoria, who&#8217;s stalking Bella to avenge her Man from the previous movie. This leads to a Romeo and Juliet twist of fate as Edward tries to snuff his sparkle in Italy. Apparently, that involves turning into stone and being snapped apart by the Volturi&#8211; a ruling vampire clan lead by Aro (played fop-hammy by a stalwart Michael Sheen). Of course, if you&#8217;re a Twilight fan, you know how all this goes down. If you&#8217;re not&#8230; do you care? Astonishingly, yes. But not for any obvious reason: the dour Edward and depressed Bella relationship is an absolute bore. Their melodramatics reach forehead-smacking heights (or lows), but looking back to my years of teen love/angst, I&#8217;m equally embarrassed and inclined to give their sap a pass. Teen love is never rational- it&#8217;s ridiculous, clumsy, intense and stocked with thirteen zesty flavors of cheese. Still, the two experience a world with no fun in sight&#8211; and that&#8217;s wearying. Where New Moon does stoke interest is in the developing relationship between Bella and Jacob, who totally thinks shirts are overrated and runs around without one through most of the movie. The choice has...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rumor has it Twilight fans were only a breath away from eclipsing Star Wars and Star Trek fans as the biggest dorks on the planet, but these two girls going bananas over New Moon actors Edi Gathegi (Laurent) and Jamie Campbell Bower (Caius) apparently tipped the scales in favor of the Twihards. Thanks to the Salt Lake Tribune for the image, taken yesterday at the Fashion Place Mall in Murray.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your a dude. You like the ladies. Your girlfriend/wife/significant other wants you to see The Twilight Saga: New Moon, but you can&#8217;t think of anything more excruciating. A trip to the dentist for a root canal sounds better. You&#8217;d even rather watch reruns of Little House on the Prairie while having uncontrollable diarrhea. Anything but Edward and Bella. Well, fellas, say hi to Ashely Greene. She played Alice Cullen in last year&#8217;s Twilight and is reprising the role in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. She is amazingly hot and this picture from her Maxim photo shoot proves that fact. So, yeah, maybe shelling out a full-priced ticket for this vampire chick flick isn&#8217;t such a terrible idea after all.]]></description>
