I still haven't read these books. But I've loved the movies. I caught the "Twilight Bug"

It starts out with Bella dreaming of herself as an old woman and Edward still young as he stopped aging at the age of 17. Bella wakes up scared about growing older, espcially since it's her 18th birthday and she's now offically "older" than her boyfriend. Despite her lack of enthusiasm about her birthdays, Edward's adoptive family still throws Bella a birthday party. While unwrapping a gift, Bella gets a paper cut, causing Edward's brother, Jasper, to become overwhelmed by her blood's scent and attempt to kill her. Realizing the danger that he and his family pose to Bella, Edward ends their relationship and Edward and his family leaves.

Edward's harsh and abrupt departure from Forks leaves Bella heartbroken and depressed for months. Only, when Bella's father says he doesn't know how to help her and decides to send her to live with her mother does Bella agrees to spend time with her friends. After hanging out with her friend Jessica, Bella sees a group of men on motorcycles. This reminds her of when Edward previously rescued her from an assault, and she sees his image warning her to stay away. Bella discovers that thrill-seeking activities evoke Edward's voice and image. She is also comforted by Jacob Black. When Jacob suddenly begins avoiding her, Bella discovers Jacob has become a werewolf, an age-old enemy of vampires. Jacob's pack members are on constant patrol for Victoria, a vampire searching to kill Bella due to the death of her mate, leaving Jacob little time to spend with her.

Due to a series of miscommunications, Edward believes Bella has killed herself. Distraught over her supposed suicide, Edward flees to Italy to provoke the Volturi, a powerful vampire coven capable of killing him, by exposing himself in the sunlight. Alice, Edward's sister, and Bella rush to Italy to save Edward, and arrive just in time to stop him. However, the Volturi determine that Bella, a human who knows that vampires exist, must either be killed or transformed into a vampire herself. Alice stops them from killing her by saying that Bella will be turned into a vampire even if she needs to do it herself. Returning to Forks, Edward tells Bella that he always loved her and only left to protect her. She forgives him, and the Cullens vote in favor of Bella being transformed into a vampire, to Edward's dismay. However, Jacob reminds Edward of the treaty the Cullens made with the Quileute tribe: they will not attack each other, as long as the Cullens do not bite any humans. The movie concludes with Edward telling Bella that he will change her into a vampire if she marries him first.

I actually surprisingly really liked this movie. I know this is a fairly old movie, but wanted to write a review on it anyway. I wasn't a Shia LaBeouf fan until I saw this movie (and I'm still not a HUGE fan but I'm more of a fan of his since this movie and Transformers)

Anyway the main part of the movie is about Shia LaBeouf character Kale who is having a hard time since the tragic death of his father, eventually snaps one day after a teacher makes a comment about his father. Kale is then placed under house arrest and at first is loving it because he can just stay home and play on his Xbox, and be on his computer all day to keep himself entertained....when his mom cancels all his subscriptions to his entertainment to have him be more productive during the day, he then spends day after day trying to cure his case of boredom by spying on the neighbors nothing too exciting really as he doesn't live in a "interesting" part of town. While he is spying one day he sets his eyes on his beautiful teenage girl next-door-neighbor Ashley....

When she catches him spying on her, she is actually more intrigued by his new hobby then creeped out. So Kale, Ashley and Kale's best friend Ronnie continue to cure their boredom and end up spying on another one of their neighbors Robert Turner. But things take an interesting turn when they learn that Robert might be a serial killer....Now how are they going to be able find out if he is a serial killer or not when Kale can't even leave his yard?


OK I know that people who have seen this movie before might have thought it was sort of cheesy...and I agree some parts were kind of cheesy, but I actually really liked it and I thought the cast did an excellent job playing their characters. The movie even though it is FAIRLY predictable it definitely was suspenseful and it one of those movies that keeps you on the edge of your seat!
