Based on the book with the same title by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight tells the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, and becomes drawn to Edward Cullen, a pale, mysterious classmate who seems determined to push her away. But neither can deny the attraction that pulls them together...even when Edward confides that he and his family are vampires. Their unorthodox romance puts her in physical danger when Edward's nemesis comes to town and sets his sights on Bella.
When Bella shows up for her first day at school, she's instantly and mutually attracted to a strangely handsome boy, Edward Cullen, in a mad crush at first sight encounter. Edward is part of the peculiar, outcast Cullen clan of sibling foster kids who occupy a separate nook of the school cafeteria, and seem to be shockingly dating each other. Infatuation soon turns to obsession, and eventually Bella figures out that Edward is a descendant of the undead.
I enjoyed watching the movie but I have to admit, not for the muscularly-inclined, that "macho-esque" thinking. Its basically the movie Blade spiffed up to appeal to the new generation which they termed "tweens." In other words, think horror without the horror and with romance. Its very popular, proven by the gross amount it has made in the movie box office and they have started shooting the sequeal, I'm just not into watching these kind of movies. I'm missing all the gore and the suspense. It is about vampires after all. One upside is that the baseball scenes were quite amusing.
