Limited Pre-Screeing of New Moon


My dawn brightened when I was allowed to view a very limited and elite pre-screening of New Moon, the delightful sequel to the Vampire romance series titled Twilight.

For the reader that is not familiar with these excellent reads, let me debrief you. Its about muggles that fall for Vampires. But its a girl-muggle and the book follows her every thought and desire. And get this, its all about how the perfect guy falls in love with the beautifully- innocent Bella Swan (which creatively translates into "beautiful swan")

Written by a woman, the heartthrob Vampire boy, Edward Cullen, is dangerously handsome, he loves Bella -- not only by sight but also by smell -- oh, and it also just happens that sunlight turns him into cute sparkly diamonds. And their first kiss begins with "k".



















The book has everything anyone could want and New Moon, the movie, takes this lovers tangle to another level. Add in the sweetness of a Werewolf and the tangle becomes a triangle. Who does she choose, could it be Edwards 4 C's of love or Jacobs ticklishly warm embrace?

She picks Jacob!

There was a moment in the movie where she is braiding his Werehair, a french braid, and they start rolling in the fields, then the screen goes black and the audience gasps. She has chosen her mate. Now, remember that Edward already left Spanish Fork to a far away place, a place where his family would not be tempted to eat Bella's blood. So get this, word spreads that Bella and Jacob the Werewolf hooked up and nobody wanted Edward to know so they told him she committed suicide!

Since Edward thinks Bella is dead, he too has no desire to live. Unlike Shakespeare's Juliet he is unable to lick the poison from her lips or stab himself in the heart, instead he must travel to Italy where the liberal Vampires are pro-euthenasia and agree to kill him.

Bella finds out that when she rides her scooter really fast that she can hear Edward, his sweet lavender voice speaks to her and she goes after him, leaving Jacob for Italy. It is there that the Italian Vampire Illuminati declare that she must die or become a Vampire. She chooses Vampire. . . but wait!

!SPOILER ALERT!
The movie ends with Bella back in Spanish Fork, she is in the clinic getting an ultra sound and she is pregnant with Jacobs Werebaby!

What will happen when she becomes a Vampire and the hybrid baby is born?

Could this be a uniting of the Tribes? I guess we won't know until the release of Forever Dawn.
