Twilight Storytellers: Short Movie Reviews Series - Part 6 "The Mary Alice Brandon File"



Hello, everyone! I'm back, and I'm here to review "The Mary Alice Brandon File," one of the short film submission for the Twilight Storytellers competition. This is this sixth short film I've reviewed. So make sure you check out my other reviews. Also, don't forget to vote for your favorite short film! The voting ends soon! But enough about that, let's get onto the review!



"The Mary Alice Brandon File" is directed by Kailey and Samantha Spear. Of course, it features Alice Cullen before she became a vampire. The short film explores Alice's dark past at the mental institution.

See, now this is the kind of place I expected Alice to be in, a dark dreary scary hell of a "hospital." You know, it's always worse when the medical professionals think they're helping when they're actually hurting. Again, I'm not big on flashbacks, and it also makes me kind of want Alice to get shocked so I can get the full story. That probably makes me a terrible person. But we're going down that rabbit hole - no pun intended. Her accent is adorable, and for someone who lives in the south, it is quite believable. I'm not quite sold one the smoky effects, but I'll give it credit for being a little different. I do like how it ties in with the Doc's pipe. I just wished the pipe would have been introduced earlier. Coming full circle is always rewarding, and I like how all of the strings of Alice's memories come into place. Now we all know how Alice lost her memories, and I have to say that this short film has made me so happy. The last look Alice gives to the camera is so attuned with Alice the vampire that my mind is blow. Awesome job!

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...
