The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Cast: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Bryce Dallas Howard
Direction: David Slade
Duration: 2 hours 4 minutes


Story: The vampire wars are on, with the werewolves and humans drawn into this fangy battle of revenge. On the one hand, there's the blood-lusting Victoria, hungering for the blood of high-schooler Bella. And on the other, there's vampire-in-love, Edward and werewolf-in-love, Jacob, hell bent on protecting their common object of desire: the delectable Ms Swan. All this, while the lady in question has to make the million dollar choice between two supra-humans -- veggie vampire or feisty werewolf -- competing for her attention.


Movie Review: Let's just cut the fang (read vampire) and fuzzy hair (read werewolf) business and ie rweqget down to the essence of Eclipse: Team Edward or Team Jacob, so who's side are you on? Of course, that's the big question that is posed before Bella (Kristen Stewart) in Eclipse and forms the dramatic core of the film. But even before our girl-next-door can decide whether she wants to end up as the undead Mrs Cullen or the still-human wife of shape-shifting Jacob, we know it's time for all you Twihards to voice your vote on who's hotter: Edward (Robert Pattinson) or Jacob (Taylor Lautner). For, after all, that's the in-your-face declaration that Jacob makes in one of the most alluring scenes in the film. ``Face it, I'm much hotter than you,'' he tells the 109-year-old cold cut Cullen and slips under the covers -- six-packed and shirtless -- to warm a shivering Bella on a cold mountain top. And, while he's lending his body heat, he forewarns his rival about Bella's fondness for him. She just might choose me, he smugly says.
