Thursday night/Early Friday morning, Karen and I attended the midnight showing of Twilight. It's probably my favorite book and the movie wasn't half-bad either. I thought I might give you my review and thoughts on the movie
Overall, I enjoyed the movie. The atmosphere of the theater was a lot of fun. It was a room full of mid-teenage girls to lots and lots of moms giggling and gasping at the right parts. There were even a few guys there. People cheered when the Cullens showed up for the time. The story stayed pretty true to the plot, although there were discrepancies. I tried to go in with an open mind and I really liked the film.
The Good:
Robert Pattinson did a good job playing Edward. He has some really good facial expressions. Carlise was also really good. It was comical at parts. Stephenie Meyer had a camio too. Stayed pretty close to the story. They obviously had to cut things out, but they kept most of the important scenes in there. Jacob was very likable, and well cast. Good kiss scenes:)
The Bad:
Kristen Steward, who played Bella, wasn't my favorite part of the movie. Her acting wasn't always believable. When her character was supposed to get excited over something, she seemed to stumble over her words. Some of he things that Edward says or does or not allways Edward-esque or true to his character. Sarah Clarke, who plays Renee seems too old.

Police Report
This morning as Clayton was leaving for work, he opened the car door to find our glove box open with paper spread all over the passenger seat. He thought this kind of odd so he came back inside to see if I had been digging around in there for something. When I told him I had not, we realized that someone had broken into our car. It didn't look like forced entry, and I remember locking the door last night after getting home. Supposedly there's some glitch in our car model and occasionaly the driver's side door will unlock automatically. Something fautly with the wiring between the stereo and the locks. So, anyways, we went back out to see if anything was missing. Luckily we took all of our CD's out of our car about a month ago, so there were none in the car. Our title, registration, and insurance cards all seem to be there. From what we can tell, nothing is missing. They were probably looking for something worth a little more, but fortunately we're poor and have nothing of value, at least not in our car. We still have the cheap stereo the car came with, and is impossible to take out.
We decided that we should still report it, just in case there are similar break-ins in the area. Clayton thought it would be as simple as a phone call. He called them up and explained to them what had happened. The person on the other line asked if he would be willing to talk to an officer. Clayton figured they would just transfer him, but no...We had an officer come to our apartment. It was pretty exciting. We filed an offical report and everything. I doubt it would have been exciting if anything had been stolen, but luckily all we lost was a little bit of time to file a police report.
