Originally I wasn’t planning on ever admitting I went to see this movie. I changed my mind once I saw the Big Red Bus (above) parked outside the Oviedo Marketplace just before the premiere of Twilight: Eclipse. These guys have a pretty good sense of humor.
I guess I’ll give a quick review of the movie while I’m at it. The movie was bearable. On the plus side there were a few good action scenes, it was shot pretty well, music soundtrack was enjoyable, and I certainly didn’t mind the girl to guy ratio in the theater being 15 to 1 (girl to straight guy ratio was more like 20 to 1). There were a few moments however where slitting my wrists seemed like a more entertaining way to spend my time, but there weren’t many and they only lasted for five minutes at the most.
Twilight: Eclipse gave some valuable life lessons. Girls tend to string multiple guys along for their own pleasure/needs, marriage right after high school is socially acceptable, sex with vampires may result in serious injury and/or death, and girls prefer more complicated guys.

14. Cee-Lo Green — “What Part Of Forever”
15. Howard Shore — “Jacob’s Theme”
(Two thumbs up for Fanfarlo, The Bravery, and Band of Horses)
Overall I give Twilight: Eclipse a 7/10.
