Twilight Storytellers: Short Movie Reviews Series - Part 4 "Sunrise"



Hello, everyone! I'm back, and I'm here to continue the Twilight Storytellers Review Series, and today I'm reviewing "Sunrise." Only three more after this one. I'm feeling a little said it's about to come to an end. But enough about that, let's get onto the review!



"Sunrise" is directed by Amanda Tasse, and it is a short film about the lives of Tia and Benjamin before they became vampires. Viewers see how Tia and Benjamin met, how they grew up, how they were forced apart, and how they came back together.

I will preface this by saying that this is one of the top two videos I've been excited for. I loved Benjamin in the books/movie, so I was ready for this. Awe, Benjamin and Tia! They are so cute! Flashbacks are a tricky thing. In this case, I think it worked. I love how Benjamin went up against a vampire, and he didn't immediately die. I'm even impressed by the sparkle effects. Tia touches my soul. Tia is the best, and her devotion to Benjamin despite his vampire is so beautiful. The sunrise effect was a little wonky for me, but I think the ending credit sequence makes up for it. I'm surprised how much of Tia and Benjamin's life we got in ten minutes, but I think it makes this short film fast-paced, and a contender for the top Twilight Story.

Now, I have to mention that I was wrong about when voting for these wonderful stories end. The voting ends July 29! So get your votes in! Thanks, Mary Alice Brandon, for the correction! And a big shout-out to Theresa Largusa who has been posting these reviews on twitter! Thanks for supporting the blog!

How to be a Heroine - Bella Swan

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: March 2018

Image
So this month has been a bit of a bust. I haven’t read many book or watched that many movies, but the show must go on. Also, as a side note, I haven’t finished any season of any particular television shows this month, but I’ve started a few promising ones that will hopefully be completed in April. But anyway, here’s all the books and movies I’ve conquered this month. The first two books I read this month are The Hanging Tree and Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch. These books are the 5 th and 6 th book in his Peter Grant series which feature Detective, you guessed it, Peter Grant as he investigates criminal matters in London with a tendency for the supernatural. If you haven’t read my review about the other books of this series, I’ll reiterate. Ben Aaronovitch combines everything that I love within his novels, and does it in such a fashion that you can feel the commitment to his craft with every paragraph. His expertise with the London area and the unordinary is clearly visible ...

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...
