The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
Directed by: David Slade
Written by: Melissa Rosenberg
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner

It’s hard to believe that a movie about a teenage girl trying to bone half the cast of Universal Studios’ Monsters could be pretentious, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t try! From the first lines of Bella reading Robert Frost’s “Fire and Ice” to the numerous statements on morality, Eclipse manages to be preachy about a subject that is not an issue for 100% of the universe: fucking vampires.

The biggest problem with Eclipse as a film is, ironically, it’s faithfulness to the source material. Normally this would be a plus for a movie, but the fact is that Stephenie Meyer is an abysmal writer. Nobody in the town of Forks has cellphones since apparently both vampires and werewolves are telepathic, and that’s about half the population anyway.

Everything about this film is quite literally cocktease. There’s actually a “wait we can’t have sex yet” scene. And when all is said and done we’re at the exact same point as when the last movie ended. Bella chooses Edward, The Volturi are evil, and nobody actually seems happy about anything.

In the process of not doing much of anything, Bella gets to chatting with the other members of the Cullen family, and we get some backstories on the characters that were really just brooding scenery. Then we find out that Jackson Rathbone is a horrible actor and his character was so much better when he just stood around looking pained.

Can we all agree that Bella is a good for nothing bitch? What bothers me about these films more than anything else is how a dozen super beings go out of their way, risking their lives and going against their nature, to protect/win over some rabbit-toothed stutterer that has no personality whatsoever. I get that Edward was attracted to the fact that he couldn’t read her mind, but why didn’t he break it off when he found out that there is actually just nothing going on in that brain? And sure, Edward and Jacob want to marry her, but the families jump on board too? It’s a high school romance, and they already broke up once! Somebody sit these boys down and explain that infatuation is not love (or do vampires and werewolves not get infatuated? They just imprint on people, right?).

Now people are saying that Eclipse is the best of the Twilight films, and that is technically true. But to say it’s my favorite of the three is like getting to pick which medieval torture device will be used on me (it’s the iron maiden, for the record).

And honestly, the only reason this film stood out to me more than the others is because there are significantly more wolves in it. It’s a superficial and rather queer reason, but there it is.

Editor's note: Why do I want one of these? O yea, it's a Sonic HAT! "You may get burned for the umpteenth time by pre-ordering Sonic Colors before the reviews are in, but at least you'll get an awesome hat out of it. Reminiscent of the Scribblenauts "Rooster Hat" bonus, this Sonic hat is the worm on GameStop's hook for purchasing either the Wii or DS version of the game."

"What's worse than furries? I'll answer that for you: furry stand-up comedians. The living trainwreck who refers to himself as "2 The Ranting Gryphon" belongs to that most reviled subculture of them all, people who get off thinking about cartoon animals, sex with cartoon animals, and certain sports mascots. That's losertastic enough, but what earns this furry his special spot is his "rants," horrible performances that would get him kicked off the stage in the worst comedy club in the most desperately starved for entertainment town in America. Let's just say that his career as a comedian is s

"In the quest for alternative energy, there's a source many may have overlooked. Not Narberth resident Bill McHugh, though. He's been exploring it ever since he built and moved into his Sabine Avenue home 46 years ago. You could call it "squirrel power.""

"As of April 21, 2010, the U.S. Copyright Office finally began certifying my copyright claims (which I initially filed beginning back in January 2009) on every single story I ever wrote, penciled or both for Archie Comics. As a result, I am now officially recognized by the U.S. Government as the owner of every single SONIC and KNUCKLES story I ever created (well, almost every one right now, but it will be "all" shortly, as soon as the Copyright Office finishes with the last few claims. But I digress…). What does this mean? That means anyone seeking to use my characters, concepts and st
