Breaking Dawn Part 1 Full Movie Poster... Meh

Click for bigger


So, obviously this isn't a million miles away from the wider version of the poster we saw released at Comic Con 2011 but I remain underwhelmed.


Now, let's not get started on the hair again (or the fact that Bella's dress is woefully non-tailored - Alice would never allow such gaping!) but the whole composition is just so... lacking.


I'm sorry Bill, I have every confidence that Breaking Dawn will be everything we fans want it to be on the big screen, but... I can't help but long for Catherine's original Twilight poster.


As basic as her tools may have been by comparison at the beginning of this franchise, that poster still holds such romance and danger and yearning!


This one just seems to be ticking boxes *sigh* just me?

Would You Buy The Bed That Rob & Kristen First Kissed On?


Yesterday Catherine Harwicke announced a very sketchy way for fans to own a piece of Robsten memorabilia.

According to Hollywood Life, Catherine said she still has the bed Rob and Kristen first kissed on when they were rehearsing scenes at her house for Twilight.

Catherine said she might put the bed up for auction to help Step Up Women’s Network if there was enough demand from fans.

I think that may be just a tad bit over the top-JMO! Wanting to buy a bed that Robsten has laid on is a little different than wanting to eat at a restaurant that they've been spotted at. Just Sayin'.

What do y'all think? Too far? Heck no, you'd bid? Let us know!

Soooo I went to see Catherine Hardwicke's Red Riding Hood preview...

Spoiler free :)
Yay, two-sided poster - awesome!

Super thanks to Michelle who wrote in with spare tickets to an early preview of Catherine Hardwicke's new movie Red Riding Hood here in Vancouver.

I took @CupcakeGirl76 as my plus one and hoped Billy Burke might swing by... no such luck!

So, the movie... I admit I was very excited by the trailer - it reminded me of how I felt seeing the original Twilight trailer - excited and fascinated with a touch of schmexy and mystery.

The film its-self looks beautiful: it has incredible mountainous panoramas; wooded fairy-tale villages; and the lighting goes from firey glows to icey stark...

Amanda "there's a 30% chance it's already raining" Seyfried is gorgeous and does a solid job with the script opposite Julie Christie (respect), Gary Oldman (I salute you, sir) Billy Burke (better with 'stache) and Max Irons (yeah, I would).

Now, Shiloh "almost Edward Cullen" Fernandez brings a good chemistry to the table and works hard at the role, even pulling off convincing schmexy time moments but... geez that boy's just
Align Leftnot pretty enough - just me?! He does that whole "I'm dangerous, you want me" thing well but I kept mentally thanking Kristen for not going there...

Plot wise, I don't want to give anything away but I will say the story honestly keeps you guessing - it's intriguing but... lacking, almost in that "New Moon Alice flash forward" kind of way - it could have been awesome - but only 20% as ridoncs.

Conclusion, I think it's definitely worth a watch - if only for the score which is quite a few kinds of tribal drum, deep voice, schmexy awesome - but Twilight it is not... sorry, Catherine x

Nikki Reed & Catherine Hardwicke at Red Riding Hood LA Premiere



All hail, Gary Oldman!



Nikki attended the LA premiere of super-bestie, Catherine Hardwicke's new film, which I can NOT wait to see, Red Riding Hood.

The movie stars the almost Edward Cullen, Shiloh Fernandez (soooo glad for that non-casting) and could have been Rosalie Hale, Amanda Seyfried (there's a 30% chance it's already raining).

Stoked to see Catherine Hardwicke's new movie - the trailer gives me tingles - I'm hoping watching the film feels like the first time I watched Twilight :)

Billy Burke should just always have a 'stache though #TruFax
