"Twilight", everyone has been raving and talking about the books, the movie and Edward and Bella. Everyone that is, except me, and only because I had thought it was a young adult modern vampire romance. I made a mental note to check it out and watch it when I had time; when I finally found the time to watch it, I was blown away!

I've had Twilight for three weeks and I've watched it 65 times. Twilight is one of the best fantasy/vampire movies I've seen or read, which by the way, I've read the books at least 12 times each. Stephanie Meyers is without a doubt, a fantastic writer; she pulls her audience into the heart of the story as she weaves her fantastic tale of forbidden romance. The music score and cast of characters for Twilight was great. I heard "Surpermassive Black Hole" during the baseball game, "Bella's Lullabye" during the scene in the tree tops after Edward scaled the tall trees with Bella on his back and while he played it on the piano. I heard "Flightless Bird American Mouth" during the slow dance in the last scene and I totally love all three of these songs.

"Supermassive Black Hole", by Muse, "Flightless Bird", by Iron and Wine, and "Bella's Lullabye", by Robert Pattinson, is a song that Robert wrote in two hours. The music score is one of the best I've heard in a long time, and I'm looking foward to the second movie's music score; it's going to be hard to beat the music in "Twilight".

The cast members for "Twilight" are:

He has never been affected by the smell of a huma's blood like he is when he's near Bella. Despite the hate he feels toward Bella at first for making him want her so badly and the almost over powering urge to kill her and drink her blood, Edward begins to have feeling for this beautiful, clumsy human and falls in love with her. Edward was "turned" by a vampire, Carlisle, (who later became his father) in 1908 when Edward was dying from Spanish Influenza. After becoming a vampire, Edward discovers he has the unique ability to read the minds of others. He is also the fastest vampire, able to run up the side of a house to the second story in 1/2 of a second and he can move so fast that he can't be seen by the human eye. Despite every effort to distance himself from Bella for her own safety, Edward falls in love with her. He wants to protect Bella from danger, especially the danger of
