Since I haven’t read the ‘Twilight’ books, it’s a lot of fun seeing the natural progression of the story from a newbie’s point of view. I’ve heard little snippets about what’s coming up from my daughter and her friends who’ve read the books, but it hasn’t lessened my enjoyment of the movies.

And yeah, I really do enjoy the movies, especially ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,’ which is the best of the three so far. I wouldn’t say they’re the best movies ever made or anything, but each new film is better than the last. Plus, I’m kind of a geek about vampires, werewolves and other supernatural creatures, so these movies fit right into my scene. I also love a good romance.

The story picks up with Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) about to graduate from high school. Her vampire beau Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) keeps asking her to marry him, but she refuses until he agrees to “turn” her. There’s no doubt that Stewart and Pattinson have great chemistry.

But we can’t diss the Team Jacob crowd – the fans who’d love nothing more than for Bella to end up with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), whom we now know is a werewolf. It’s clear that Bella has feelings for Jacob beyond friendship, but she’s firm in her love for Edward and feels she ultimately belongs with him.

This inter-species love triangle results in several dark and comic scenes of confrontation between Jacob and Edward, with Bella caught smack in the middle. They finally realize they’re going to have to work together to protect Bella, but it’s an uneasy alliance. As with the other films, Billy Burke as Bella’s dad Charlie provides lots of funny lines, too. He’s not keen on her spending so much time with Edward.

Meanwhile, we’ve got bad vamp Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) building an army of newborn vampires, who are at their most out-of-control during their first few months. She’s still ticked over the loss of James, and vows to seek revenge on the Cullens.

The Volturi make an appearance, although they’re not nearly as visible as in ‘New Moon.’ Still, Dakota Fanning as Jane is as cold and unfeeling as ever. New characters include the Clearwaters – Leah (Julia Jones), Sue (Alex Rice) and Seth (BooBoo Stewart), as well as other Quileutes. They help to give a little backstory to the rift between vampires and wolves, some of it told via flashbacks.

I like fashion because it’s sort of my job, so I’m into it when I have to be. But when I’m not working, I wear jeans and T-shirts. I go to vintage stores all the time to find funky T-shirts.
