Twilight: Eclipse – movie review

Twilight: Eclipse – movie review

By Samantha Corley on June 30, 2010

I thought Eclipse was the best of the three movies so far, though not by as large a margin over New Moon as New Moon was over Twilight.  New director David Slade retained the same look established by the first installment and continued, for better or worse (in my opinion worse) by the second.  The only [...]

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer – review

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer – review

By Samantha Corley on June 5, 2010

I’m assuming if you’re reading this you like Twilight and have already read the other books, yes?  And you want one of two things from me here–a recommendation about whether this new novella is worth picking up and paying the $9-$14 for (discount dependent), or a discussion of OMG What It Revealed.  In the interests [...]

New Twilight Book from Stephenie Meyer!

Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight Saga, announced today on her website that she will have a new book published June 5.  The story is titled The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner.  It is, as the name suggests (and as long-time fans may know from reading Stephenie’s website “cover-to-cover”), the story of Bree, the [...]

Twilight Breaking Dawn in Pre-Production

Twilight Breaking Dawn in Pre-Production

By Samantha Corley on January 12, 2010

Twilight fans finally have a piece of news about the movie adaptation of the saga’s final novel, Breaking Dawn. The LA Times is quoting one of the Twilight franchise producers as acknowledging that the script for the last book is currently being written (by Melissa Rosenberg, who has adapted all the other books). No word yet on whether it will be one film or two (as Stephenie Meyer speculated it might be soon after the book’s publication), but the producer did say that filming may begin as early as this fall.

Georgia May – Jagger’s Daughter New Face of Versace

By Samantha Corley on January 11, 2010

Versace has tagged Rolling Stone frontman’s daughter to be their face in 2010, as Georgia May has shot for the designer’s campaign for their Spring/Summer lineup. In grabbing Jagger’s third daughter, they landed the crowned Model of the Year in 2009′s British Fashion Awards. Donatella Versace said this of May: She’s smart, a strong personality, [...]

Twilight New Moon – movie review

Twilight New Moon – movie review

By Samantha Corley on November 20, 2009

Going to a midnight movie is an experience that has to be included in the review of the film. First, who was there? Mostly female–about 1 in 10 people were male–and not as many shrieking junior high girls as I expected. The audience was mostly high school/early college kids and adult women. Didn’t see any grandmothers, but there were at least a couple bona fide cougars there. Rrroooow. And who were they picking up? Was it the two dudes running around in actual Twilight T-shirts? Was it the unintentional (or was it?) Emmett with his hat sideways?

Find out (and read the review of the movie) after the jump…
