Twilight Storytellers: Short Movie Reviews Series - Part 2 "Turncoats"





Hello, everyone! I'm back, and I'm here wit Part 2 of the Twilight Storytellers Short Movie Reviews Series. Today I'll be reviewing "Turncoats" by Lindsey Hancock Williamson. But enough about that, let's get onto the review!

"Turncoats" focuses on Garrett, a newly turned vampire during the American Revolutionary War. He meets Dr. Cullen in a medical tent, and our story develops from there.



I like how they incorporated Garrett's voice-over. It's reminiscent of the Twilight Movies without it being too obvious. The dialogue and the action don't seem to go hand in hand. They would stop the action to start talking, which seemed to be a little weird for the tense situation they were in. I also felt like everything happened in the tent. I thought a little break from that would do the movie good. Like the captains talking to each other outside or something. I do enjoy the humor in this. Humor plus intense situations equal a very happy viewer, in my opinion. I also really enjoyed the relationship Garrett has with his sister. Another good candidate for the final prize.

How to be a Heroine - Bella Swan

Image
Hello, everyone! I'm back, and I'm here to do another edition of How to be a Heroine! While I will still be continuing the Katniss edition featuring her fabulous archery skills, I figure I would star another heroine that hasn't got a lot of love. In case you haven't guessed, I'm talking about Bella Swan from the Twilight Series. I've always appreciated the way that she takes care of people, even if it doesn't her role. She's the child of Renee and Charlie, but she finds a way to take care of them, including making a great deal of their meals. So today, I'm going to try my hand in the culinary arts and share the results here! Let's get started! About a week ago, I found a really cool website that makes dishes inspired by books! It's called Allison's Wonderland Recipes (you can find it here ), and I'm really excited to try a lot of the different dishes that are featured on the site. I decided that the recipe that I would try first i

Stories I Ate This Month: May and June 2018

Image
Hello, my lovelies! As you've probably noticed, today's post is going to consist of the stories that I have consumed in the last two months as opposed to just last month. This is mostly because May was a world-wind for me, and I didn't really consume a lot of content. I was mostly running around, trying to get my life in order (not that it's in a particular order at the moment), and other miscellaneous duties that took up most of my time. So today, I'm going to play catch-up and tell you my thoughts on the stories that I've consumed in May and June. Let's get to the reviews! I've read two books in the past couple of months, Death on the Nile  and The A.B.C. Murders . Both are by Agatha Christie and feature Detective Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie has a way of making a puzzling novel that keeps your attention without making things overly graphic or by adding unnecessary action scenes for the sake of drama. She's one of my favorite mystery auth

Hunger Games Merchandise: Replica Mockingjay Pin

Image
Hello, everyone! So today I'm reviewing the Hunger Games Mockingjay Pin. I've had this pin for a while, but I thought I would review it because of the Catching Fire movie that's coming to theaters soon. I'll be reviewing this pin for its overall quality and its resemblance to the pin used in both the Hunger Games and the Hunger Games: Catching Fire. So let's get started! The replica pin has the same style as the one in the movie. Both pins depict a simple bird with slightly spread wings catching an arrow as it slices through the air with it's overly large beak. They both have the same gold-ish hue, and from what I can tell, they are about the same size. Now let's talk about the differences! The first difference is that the movie pin is more three dimensional than the replica version. The replica pin is all the same height, while the movie pin is raised in some areas. You can tell from the pictures that the head of the bird is more rounded, the wings co
