Movies
This movie appears to be a faithful adaptation of the book… for the most part. There are of course something that have been added or removed, but my wife read it and said it is pretty close. My wife did say that the book felt more serious in the book where the movie for sure lighthearted.

These movies have a huge nostalgic feeling for me. They are both simple and somewhat entertaining. I find myself a little more intrigued with the stories of Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie than Edward and Bella at times. These movies are at least worth watching once.

I will say, that if I were a vampire and had money for days, I'd buy an island too. That place was super cool. I am not sure how you get groceries with any regularity (I guess if you have money like Scrooge McDuck, then someone can drive it out to you), but that can be solved.
Movies
A "triumphant" return to better story telling. I mean that in straight sarcasm, because I can see what the movie is attempting to do when explaining the powers of Alice and Edward, but it is still wishy-washy. She can watch the future of people she chooses? All of their futures?
Movies
The wanna-be-date scene shows Jacob to be a narcissistic, egotistical, asshat. "I laugh at what makes weaker men vomit." I understand that he is attempting to himself to be better to Bella, but this is a bit much. This is where I think Taylor Lautner's skill starts to be tested.

Granted, my enjoyment from this really stems from a place of nostalgia. When you are stuck in foreign country with no way to leave a small outpost, what do you do at night? Watch crappy movies that don't mimic real life.
Movies
This movie is well received and with good reason. It was very funny and the action with it feels good. There are some very interesting visuals in this as well. I mean the scene with Bradley Cooper is way funnier than it should be.
Books
This is the book that I was so excited to read when it first came out, that I read ahead of where my mom and I stopped. Tre story, the magic, and the characters are just huge in my mind from this point forward.
Books
This story is complete with great detail in the story telling without becoming boring. However, the repetition of described actions, "If I have to I will use my mailed fists" gets very old very quick during important scenes.
TV
It isn't bad, but it isn't good for adults only. Jude Law does a decent job of play the Dred Pirate Roberts, sorry that is Princess Bride. One-eyed Willy? No, that is The Goonies. Well whatever his name is, Jod or so he says, but I always feel like he was holding back.
Movies
This is going to be, if it isn't already, a classic for Millennials. We grew up with it, ABC Family plays it every holiday. It is just a great set of movies that ends so well. There are some parts that are not the greatest, and some massive changes as compared to the book,
Video Game
The fighting itself has some cool moments, like when you kill a target you sometimes get these little slo-mo events or special flourishes and that is when it is fun. Otherwise, it is like playing World of Warcraft back in the day when you just hit a button and wait for the skill cooldown to finish
