I Love Lucy: How Kristen Elevates the Average Girl

Kristen Stewart is, in her own words, “a pretty fuckin’ average chick who really loves what she does.” What she does is portray young women who are anything but average. We’ve seen her deliver performances to perfection that include a young rape victim, a girl suffering from a neuromuscular disease, an iconic teenage rock star, [...]

Five Things I’m Excited About in Breaking Dawn – ALREADY!

1- Hair/Makeup From what I have seen so far, the make-up and hair on this movie looks light-years ahead of the others.  Let’s rejoice because it looks like Bella has a normal hairline!  Summit must have locked up the old wig in Stephenie Meyer’s basement, because so far Bella looks gorgeous.  Jean Black, the makeup artist for [...]

Eclipse Commentary Fantasies

With less than a month to go, the incessant fantasies have begun to distract us from work.  No, I’m not talking about our XXX rated fanfic-fed needs – that is so last month.  And I guess, what we’re all petting ourselves over at the moment is the reality that at some point today, perhaps while [...]

RLC’s Welcome To The Riley’s Review

I was privileged to see the movie over two weeks ago at a private press screening in Manhattan. I was thrilled! This had been the movie of Kristen’s I most wanted to see. I am a big fan of indie dramas.  I am certainly not a professional film reviewer, so don’t look for a technical [...]

Mea Culpa

So I hear there’s a code of conduct I have broken.  I see no harm in what I have not done, but whenever someone finds out, the gasps of bewilderment and cackles of disbelief ring loudly in my ears.  Jaws drop, eyes bug, pigs fly.  Apparently, get this; there is a moderator of a Twilight-based [...]

Breaking Dawn 4 Life

There is an old saying that applies very well in regard to Breaking Dawn: “opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.”  Even on our own staff the views vary widely.  I know that I’m definitely in the minority when I say that Breaking Dawn is my absolute favorite book in the series, and I couldn’t [...]

Tanya Denali – The Most Hated Woman In the Fandom

With Breaking Dawn beginning production and filming in October, the casting of the character Tanya Denali will surely get some notice.  Tanya may be one of the most hated and despised characters in the Twilight Saga, more than even the Volturi.  The actress that steps into this role will encounter the loonies who will immediately [...]

‘The Yellow Handkerchief’ Review

I have to admit this was my least anticipated KStew movie to come out this year, since the road movie ensemble thing isn’t exactly my bag. However, looking at the cast helped me get into the headspace to watch and enjoy the movie. I’ve been a huge fan of William Hurt and Maria Bello since [...]

The Pussification of Edward Cullenpage/19

Hi Summit.  We need to have another chat about that Eclipse clip that debuted at the MTVMAs last week.  I want to start off by saying that I’m hearing GREAT things about the film as a whole. The buzz is that it is visually beautiful with a decent balance of romance and action. I’m super [...]

Fangirls Gone Wild

As the world knows, last Wednesday Rob and Kristen traveled to Chicago to do a taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show. Since I live just a few hours outside of Chicago, I thought, hey, I should try to be in the audience. It seemed like a pretty rational thought and easy enough to accomplish. I’d [...]
