The Thrill of "Twilight"

Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) are similar to any teenager falling in love, with one major difference.  Edward is a vampire.  Although Edward is in love with Bella and eager to protect her, he must fight off the temptation to kill her.  Luckily, Edward and his family, the Cullens, survive solely on the blood of animals, allowing them to co-exist with the humans.

The Cullens "teenagers" attend high school with the other teens of Forks, Washington, to keep up appearances while Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli), who has immense control over his cravings, works as a doctor at the hospital.  Only the Quileute Indians, know the truth about the Cullens.  Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), a childhood friend and secret admirer of Bella's is part of this local Indian Reservation.

Edward must protect Bella from his hunger, as well as the hunger of others.  Therefore, when James (Cam Giganet), a nomadic vampire, decides to hunt and feed on Bella, Edward does everything in his power to protect her and her family.  

Through it all, Bella insists she loves Edward and desires to be with him always. Will she make the ultimate sacrifice to be with him completely? Will Edward be able to control his nature and protect Bella instead of harming her?

Twilight has been described as ""a full-blown pop culture phenomenon" by the Los Angeles Times.  It has it all romance, suspense, drama, science fiction, fantasy, some sexy scenes and amazingly hot vampires.
