You may or may not know that in one of my first posts I wrote a review about the book series twilight. (Which has subsequently gotten very many views) Well this friday the movie based on the book premieres, it stars Kristen Stewart as the shy clumsy Bella Swan and Robert Pattinson as the pale white vampire Edward Cullen.
The movie has been in the media since its birth, dazzling fans with its plot based on the best selling novel and actors, most notably Rob who girls cant help but swoon over with his looks and Edward appeal. So its going to be a pretty big deal, seeing the beautiful love story come to life and then going on with the more action scenes involving Edward and James (the book and films antagonist who tries to kill Bella)
Since I'm seeing the movie this weekend (i cant help but be a fan) I wanted to let you all know that I will be posting my review of the movie, and letting you know how it compares with the book and if its safe enough to let you're child see it.
Hope you all read it!

Twilight a series by Stephenie Meyer: My review
Twilight is a series by Stephenie Meyer, I'm sure like me you've heard of it from a lot of people. I heard about it firstly because of a review in a magazine, it sounded interesting. Since then I've heard about it from friends and people at school. So I decided after looking it up to place it on hold at the library. I just got it yesterday and I couldn't put it down, I ended up staying up till 12:00 at night just reading. The first book Twilight is about Isabella Swan (Bella) who moves to Forks, Washington after her mother remarries. She goes to live with her father (Charlie) And on her first day at school she see's Edward Cullen.
The plot of the book is centered on him being a Vampire and both of them falling in love. This is a really good book, it deals with vampires and werewolves which to christians that would seem very evil. My mother even didn't want me telling her about it because of that very thing. I do not think vampires ad werewolves are such a big deal, they're make believe and they are no different than any other fantasy stories we see now. Such as Chronicles of Narnia, and Eragon. There is no slander to christians or to God in this book, the only mention is when Edward mentions that his adopted father's father was a priest who wanted to kill vampires and other creatures like them.
Overall this book has some funny moments to it and the characters make an interesting read.
I do wants to say though this book is for Young adults and I wouldn't suggest letting a younger girl read it, there isnt major physical content but I admit it does get a tad bit close. In my opinion this book isnt offensive to any christians, but if parents have strong rules on what they're kids read I suggest reading the book to make sure its to their standards.
I decided to write this in a christian perspective because I haven't yet seen anyone who has written a review from a christian standpoint. I would though like to hear from others on how they view this book. So if you've read it or have a question for me please comment!
Hope this has been helpful.
