eclipse



Watched a movie today... It was "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse"  
 It begins with a famous poem, recited by Bella, "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost:


Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

The poem was  to set the mood for this story, as Bella is torn between two lovers, Edward, a  teenage vampire, whose physical temperature is cooler than the average human's 98.6 degrees, and Jacob, a warewolf , whose temperature is so warm he never has to wear a shirt. 

A very strong love triangle. Bella is supposed to be inlove with both of them and either way you choose the characters make lovely pairs...



Bella and Jacob... Then  Bella and Edward...

But of course i like Bella and Edward the most... Who cares if the story is fictional. They say “Eclipse”, David Slade’s contribution to Summit Entertainment’s juggernaut “Twilight” franchise came in first at the boxoffice over the weekend with $69 million, and $161 million since it opened on Wednesday earlier in the week, according to studio estimates. “Eclipse’s” five-day total of $161 million.  
 And  there's still one lovely vampire pair in addition... 

Plus the fight between the newborn vampire army and the warewolves with the Cullen
  clan.The story opens with the revelation thatSeattle, Washington is being plagued by a
string of murders, which Edward suspects is caused by a new vampire that is unable to
control its thirst for human blood. As Edward and Bella apply to colleges, Bella explains
to Edward her desire to see her friend,Jacob Black, a werewolf. Although Edward fears

for her safety, Bella insists that neither Jacob nor his wolf pack would ever harm her, and she begins visiting him occasionally. On one of these visits, Jacob tells Bella that
he is in love with her and wants her to choose him instead of Edward, but Bella says
she just sees him as a friend. To that, Jacob forcibly kisses her and she reacts by
punching him in the face, breaking her hand while not even leaving a scratch on him. Meanwhile, Alice Cullen has a vision that Victoria, a vampire who is hunting Bella for
revenge, has returned to Forks. A few days later, Edward proposes to Bella and, despite
harboring an aversion to marriage, she accepts.
Bella and the Cullens soon realize that the Seattle murders are being committed by an "army" of newborn vampires, controlled by Victoria. The Cullens join forces with the wolf pack to combat this threat. As everyone else prepares for battle, Edward, Bella and Jacob camp in the mountains, hidden during the battle, where they are later joined bySeth Clearwater, a young wolf pack member, to wait out the fight.
In the morning, Jacob becomes upset when he overhears Edward and Bella discussing their engagement and threatens to join the fight and get himself killed. Bella stops Jacob by kissing him, and she comes to realize that she is in love with him as well. During the battle, Victoria tracks Edward's scent to Bella's forest hiding place, and Edward is forced to fight. Edward manages to decapitate Victoria and her vampire army is destroyed. Afterwards, Bella explains to Jacob that while she loves him, her love for Edward is greater. After receiving a wedding invitation from Edward, Jacob runs away in his wolf form to escape his heartbreak over Bella's decision to become a vampire.

An intriguing lovestory to deal with, the scenery was great and the plot was good as well as the characters so that it deserves it's boxoffice success. As far as entertainment is concerned what more can anyone ask for...
