Twilight Reviews, Interviews & More
Another week, another trailer for a young adult novel adaptation about a teen girl who’s the super most special-ist gal in whole wide world and only she can rescue us all from a CGI onslaught of werewolves or aliens or demons, all while stealing the heart of a supernatural being who’s all cheekbones and 0% body fat. Today’s contender for the “oh please please please let us be half as...
As we're between both holidays and event films, no one took this weekend to launch a big title, so we're going to have a logjam of films released December 21-25, and then next week is The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. But right now it's quiet so James Bond trumped with his Skyfall.
We're in between holidays at the moment, and because we're about to be hit with a tsunami of big end of year pictures, it's a quiet weekend, which should see either James Bond or Twilight in the top spot. We're leaning toward the former, but it could be close.
The big question this weekend wasn't if there was going to be a huge surprise out of nowhere success taking the top slot, but what would fall harder: Breaking Dawn Part 2 or Skyfall? Turns out that though Twlight 5 fell harder, it had just enough juice left to stay in the top slot. Take a look.
Studios often don't put a movie out the week after Thanksgiving, and if it wasn't for a shuffle a couple weeks ago, we wouldn't be getting a new movie at all. That's because it's usually considered a dead spot, or dumping ground for bad movies. To wit, last year saw no new wide releases, while in 2010 the only film opening wide was The Warrior's Way. Remember that...
With a five day opening for the new pictures, and with a holiday weekend for the rest, it seems like Thanksgiving in America (at least this year) meant going to the movies. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 still won, but there are good things to say about most of the new pictures and their numbers. Mostly.
So it's a holiday five day weekend, and there are three new wide releases. Rise of the Guardians, Red Dawn and Life of Pi. But with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 netting $140 Million last weekend, even a 70% slide would mean a $40 Million weekend, and it's doubtful that these new pictures...
Thanksgiving is nearly here, and there are a lot of things to be grateful for in the world of movies and television. We all like to poke fun at Hollywood for some of the crappy movies they invest in, and also some of the unfunny comedies that are still airing on TV, but the truth is we love this stuff. It's why we write about it. Thanksgiving is about reflecting and giving thanks, so...
As the Twilight franchise comes to an end the final movie, Breaking Dawn - Part 2, made a crap-ton of money this weekend, but not enough to set any records (it isn't even the highest opening weekend for a Twilight film). Oh well, the makers are going to have to settle for a crap-ton of money.
Seriously, is anybody surprised over this? The Twilight franchise has been a box office force to be reckoned with every year a new movie comes out. Now we're in the middle of the opening weekend for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, which means the franchise is finally coming to an end. So yeah, expect Twilight fans of...
Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner aren't the only actors saying goodbye to their Twilight characters. Elizabeth Reaser, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed and Kellan Lutz, who each play members of the Cullen family, are also sad to see the series end. Earlier this month at the Breaking Dawn – Part 2 press conference, the four...
It's that time of year again. Hordes of people are lining up for Twilight's last hurrah. The fantasy book series created by Stephenie Meyer finally comes to an end with Breaking Dawn – Part 2. The concluding chapter turns away from the love triangle that drove most of the saga. And despite that, director Bill...
The final Twilight film is upon us. At least, maybe. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 is the last of the adaptations of the exceptionally popular franchise, but that doesn't mean a spin off or a reboot might not be on its way in the near future. As we've seen with Star Wars, if there's money to be made, then studios...
In The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, Taylor Lautner gets to be funny. For the majority of the series, his character – the passionate, hot-headed Jacob Black – unsuccessfully tries to win the heart of Bella (Kristen Stewart). In this final film, Jacob's over her, and finally enjoying his werewolf life in a vampire world. At the movie's press conference,...
Becoming a vampire was the best decision Robert Pattinson ever made. The Twilight universe made him a bankable movie star and one of the most influential people in the world. Now that the journey's over, the English actor's eager to work on other projects (he's signed up for quite a few). At the Breaking Dawn – Part 2 press conference,...
Outside of the 12-17 young woman demographic (and their moms), there aren't too many people who love the Twilight series. It's been called a disease that's contaminated movie theaters ever since 2009. And though we can do without seeing Twi-moms at this point, the films are harmless and decent at times. But more than that, the Twilight series has been...
For four years, Kristen Stewart has been at the center of the world wide phenomenon known as Twilight. Her iconic role as Bella, the human girl who falls in love with a vampire, will follow her for the rest of her career. At the Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 press conference, a somber Stewart talked about the end of the saga.
Despite the fact that the Twilight film franchise is finally coming to an end—at least until the inevitable reboot or spin-off—it appears our long nightmare is still not yet over. That’s right: there are still other, even more terrible Stephanie Meyer books to be adapted into plodding, quasi-feminist yet completely sexist films about people woodenly falling in...
To most teenagers, Michael Sheen isn't Michael Sheen. He's Aro, the scary, evil, slightly demented vampire from Twilight. Sheen's character is the wicked leader of the Volturi tribe of immortals, and possibly the most hated person in Stephenie Meyer's books. At the Breaking Dawn Part 2 press conference, Sheen talked about playing the...
Yes, it's almost time for the "epic finale that will live forever." The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 will be hitting theaters November 16, and that means we're almost at the end of things Twilight, at least cinematically, at least for the moment. Now there's a featurette that talks about how Part 2 is the...
