His lips brushed against my throat, just below my ear. He chuckled once and his cool breath tickled my overheated skin. “Don’t take too long, Mrs. Cullen.”

  Friday, November 18, 2011, millions of screaming fans line up for the newest installment of a phenomenon that has only been eclipsed by the '60s band “The Beatles.”

  “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 1,” the fourth movie in the Twilight franchise, stars Kristen Stewart alongside Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and many other returning cast members of the series. Bill Condon directs the film and adds a more mature theme to the story.

  Bella, portrayed by Stewart in her best acting thus far, has now chosen to live forever with her vampire boyfriend Edward, depicted by Pattinson. She marries Edward and the two embark on their Honeymoon just south of Rio de Janeiro. While there, Bella realizes she is pregnant with a vampire hybrid that is killing her from the inside.

  The movie gets off with an ornate wedding and a sometimes goofy love triangle that may confuse some of the audience but quickly jumps to a honeymoon and an underwater love scene that earns the movie its PG-13 rating. The scene is tastefully choreographed shown mostly in flashes of how Bella remembers the night and only lasts at least 60 seconds on screen. At times the movie’s humor rises above the drama of the film but is consistent and keeps the flow of the film at a steady pace.

  After Bella becomes pregnant the movie speeds-up dramatically. There are a few entertaining moments with the wolf-pack and even a moment of talking CGI wolves before the drama comes to a terrifying and gory ending.

   Condon, brings a gold color to the set of the film and actually creates a stunning set that is both pleasing to look at and interacts well with the characters. One pet peeve I might have is that Edward actually loses his pale color and looks more human in this movie than past. Carter Burwell creates a beautiful score for the background of the show and creates the perfect mood whether it is a romantic scene or blends with the sound of bones cracking.

  The film stays true to the book written by Stephanie Meyer and only strays at minimal moments of the film. Any “Twi-hard” will be pleased when they watch this movie which I guarantee is the best of the series yet.
