After a rough Monday I decided to treat myself to the Twilight movie - who knows how long it'll take to get here via Netflix? And anyhow, we put Beverly Hills Chiuaua next on the list for the kids.
So after the kids zonked out I got my comfy jammies on and settled back to watch it in HD. Loved it. The scenery and interiors were much larger and more colorful than I had imagined. Especially Bella's house - I had a mental image of a very tiny 3-room house when I was reading the book. And the Cullen's house looked nothing like I imagined. I hadn't expected it to look so modern from the front and I'd kill for a tour of the thing - it was gorgeous!
Liked the actors & characters - except for Jasper's weird bug-eyed staring. And Bella wasn't as annoying in the movie as in the book - probably because the writers were smart and didn't have her pestering Edward to change her into a vampire except at the very end. Here's hoping they keep that up in the New Moon movie as well.
