New 'Twilight' an annoying cliffhanger

Last updated Monday, November 28, 2011 - 9:47am

The long-awaited fourth installment to the five-movie and four-book series "The Twilight Saga" has finally arrived.

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1" was as enjoyable as any of the other "Twilight" movies, if you are a fan. However, some viewers may get bored during the first half of this latest episode. This movie covers the first half of the book "Breaking Dawn" by Stephenie Meyer. The book was split into two movies -- in "Harry Potter" fashion -- due to its length and the director's desire to preserve some of its smaller details.

The new movie follows once again the romance between Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a vampire, and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), a human. In the previous book, "Eclipse," Edward asked Bella to marry him, which is where this film begins. Their wedding is a beautiful outdoor ceremony, followed by an exotic honeymoon to a private island off the coast of Brazil.

CENTERVILLE -- When the first shovel hit the ground last fall for the construction of the 14-auditorium Megaplex Theatres at Legacy Crossing, the general manager of the theater chain guaranteed it would be open in time for the Nov. 18 premiere of the third film of the "Twilight" series.

Builders beat that Hollywood mark by nearly a month, with the theater in Centerville set to open to the public at 10 a.m. Friday.

TIGER'S CURSE. By Colleen Houck. Splinter. 416 pages. $17.95.

Inter-species romance has become routine in young adult lit lately, especially between nubile young women who like their guys muscular and wolfen, at least for part of the day.

Jacob or Edward? After second movie, vampire fans may switch sides to werewolf

Lynette Randall TX. Northridge High

Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?

For me, it differs between "Twilight" the books and "Twilight" the movies. In the books, I am Team Edward all the way, but in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," I am fiercely rooting for Jacob, and it's not just because of his impressively fine physique. The on-screen relationship between the actors who play Bella and Jacob (Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner) differs quite a bit from the relationship shared by Stewart and Robert Pattinson (Edward).

As a recently converted member of team Bella and a representative of the male species, I must admit that I did go see the second installment of the Twilight saga, "New Moon," and you should probably know that I have read three out of the four books as well.
