Breaking Dawn Part 1 SPOILERS!


As always I went to the premiere of Breaking Dawn. This time it wasn't just Sidney and I like it usually is, Sidney had us go with some of her coworkers. First off i didn't know these girls and I was a little bit worried about it. So we were supposed to meet at 530 but I was meeting at our friend Asia's house and it took me forever to get there and then it took forever for us to get to Orem and then we got to the girls apartment and then she said she needed to go to her parents house and get the tickets which I thought was dumb because they were just sitting in her apartment and could have gotten the tickets earlier....anyways. So we started following the car in front of us but they went to fast and the car in front of them which we were supposed to follow too went through a light that they shouldn't have because then we all got lost.

So we called one of the girls and she told us to just meet at the Macy's at the Orem mall and we'd meet there. Well Sidney, Asia, and I were STARVING so we RAN into the mall to the food court then RAN back to Sidney's car so we could follow them. Well they didn't really wait for us so we just left on our merry way to the theater. While we were on the high way we were over by Pleasant Grove and American Fork and this high way patrol man was on the high way too. We made sure not to pass him but then he went all crazy, he turned on his lights (no one in front of him FYI) and drove from one side of the high way to the other getting us to slow down. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. Sidney and Asia think it might have been that the clean up crew was almost done so he slowed us down so we wouldn't hit the accident.

Well we finally get to the theater. With next to NO help from the girls we were supposed to be following because they didn't know where they were going! AND the movie was starting so to say I was a little upset would be an understatement. We decided right then that the three of us would be going to the second half by OURSELVES!

I'm going to now make a list of things I thought were good, cheesy, and things that got me confused.

GOOD (in no particular order):
  • Jessica's speech
  • How they made Bella look while she was pregnant.
  • Showing Jacob imprint on Renesme

CHEESY (in no particular order):

  • The wolves "talking" to each other
  • All of the jokes were mostly cheesy
  • The fact that Bella and Edward were playing chess because of the cover

GOT ME CONFUSED:

  • The wolves phasing before winter. I've read a book series where there are werewolves but they can only change into wolves during the winter. The first book is Shiver. Great great book
  • The whole close up of Stephenie Meyer
  • Why Bella was wearing tennis shoes when she was talking to Jacob
  • why the whole birth scene was so dramatic

Well this is my review. Its all mine. Although a little was swayed by Sidney.

Movie Review: Defending Your Life

Here is the synopsis: After Daniel Miller crashes his BMW convertible into a bus, he's transported to "Judgement City," where he meets the love of his life, Julia. Unfortunately, Daniel needs to defend his life on Earth before he can ascend to heaven with Julia. He frantically attempts to explain the positive things he's accomplished, but soon realized that Julia may be too good for him.

I really liked this movie, I kind of got it on a whim because I saw it on Netflix with movies you might like. So I put it in the queue and it came yesterday and I finally watched it after waiting months. It was interesting to see some peoples perspective on what happens after we're dead.

Like it says in the synopsis Daniel has to defend his life. He's in a court room with his defender and there's a prosecutor and two judges. The judges decide if you should go back to earth and try to not be so fearful or if you can move on and go to heaven. While his trial is going on he meets this woman named Julia and they fall in love.

I would give this move a four out of five stars. Only because some parts were a little boring and I wanted to see more of his past. But overall it was a good movie and I was happy with the ending.

Funny thing is that in the movie Julia is played by Meryl Streep and then 18 years later she plays another Julia as Julia Child in Julie and Julia. Anyways happy watching.

PS I start school tomorrow! Scary Scary!
