For the regular horror film fan, the problem with the Twilight saga story is that the premise is outrageous, but once you get over the whole team wolf-team vampire thing the series have been getting more interesting with each passing episode.

Not only that, the movies have evolved accordingly and the addition of director Bill Condon helped to make this latest install, Breaking Dawn Part I, the best by far in the series. Condon not only is the acclaimed director of hits like Chicago and Dreamgirls, he was also involved in a whole bunch of horror films either as writer or director or both, so he's got a good hand for monsters, even for cheesy ones.

At this point in the Twilight story, Bella Swam, (Kristen Stewart) and her vampire beau Edward (Robert Pattinson) get married, go on honeymoon, have their thing going and suddenly something happens (I won’t say what to avoid spoiling it for the those who haven’t read the books…) and all hell breaks loose. Oh, and way before any of that happens, Taylor Lautner loses his shirt. Actually it happens within 15 minutes of film.

One of the things Breaking Dawn has in its favor is the fact that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are very good actors, and on top of that, they have played the same parts four times now, so they look very comfortable like Bella and Edward. Lautner still struggles but I must say in his defense that he's got some of the worst possible lines ever and the fact that his character is supposed to be filled with barely suppressed rage all the time does not help. Anyway, at least he's better than in Abduction….and his abs are still impressive.

The other good thing in the film is Michael Sheen as Aro, the leader of the powerful Volturi coven. Why such a great theater and film performer as Sheen makes these monster movies (he plays Lucien, the chief of the Lycans in the Underworld Saga) is a mystery. It could be the money, but my personal opinion he just likes vampire movies and I'm thankful for that, because every time he appears, Breaking Dawn improves immediately. The man has a great stage presence for someone so short and the kind of penetrating glance you might expect in a vampire lord.

On the other hand, despite great landscapes (you notice immediately that they've had a huge budget) and some good cinematography, the technical part is amazingly poor. A few extra dollars in FX, guys!  After The Lord of the Rings and especially after Avatar, there is no reason for a big budget movie to look so 80's! Fortunately, werewolf participation will be limited in Part 2 and that will give us a break.

All in all, Breaking Dawn Part I is the best in the series. Despite the cheesy premise, director Condon gives us an agile and compelling tale that maintains great fidelity to the book (hardcore fans will be delighted) and at the same time manages to include a bunch of winks for the horror fans.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 premiere  took place this week @ the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. The fourth installment of the blockbuster film franchise, which hits theaters this Friday, chronicles the lavish forest wedding (one of the biggest weddings shot in movie history), island honeymoon and impending parenthood of mortal teenager Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and her vampire crush, Edward Cullen, played by Stewart's real-life love  Robert Pattinson.

The Breaking Dawn - Part 1 premiere event was streamed live on Yahoo!. A spokesperson said the event drew the largest simultaneous audience for a live movie premiere in Yahoo! history.

The premiered was swamped with hundreds of screaming fans. Many had traveled from far away and camped out for days to catch a glimpse of the stars of the vampire series.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner walked down an appropriate black carpet which welcomed them at the Nokia Theatre. Stewart vamped it up in a long purple and black gown with a thigh-high split, while Pattinson wore a fitted gray suit. The pair, alongside heart-throb Lautner, also in a gray suit, posed for the cameras and signed autographs for their fans.

The star-studded black carpet premiere was full of celebrities including singer Bruno Mars, actors Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ashley Tisdale, and Australians Sharni Vinson and Cody Simpson.

One thing is for sure, even though the premiere has come and gone, the after party was done spectacularly and is one that Hollywood will forever remember. The Chad Hudson-produced celebration took its cue from Twilight and featured a large space transformed partially into Bella and Edward's wedding reception and partially into their honeymoon location. According to The Los Angeles Times, perhaps the most breathtaking design was a set of wooden benches surrounded by vines and more than one thousand wisterias.

I guess we’re gonna have to go see the film to check out these lavish sets! Films buffs have predicted record-breaking ticket sales for the last two parts of the film series, which are adapted from Stephenie Meyer's novels. I know I'll be adding to those record breaking sales this weekend!

Twilight fans, sorry for crushing your fantasy of Edward becoming a pop star! Contrary to recent reports, Robert Pattinson has just confirmed that he will not be dropping a solo album. The rumors were sparked after Us Weekly published a report alleging that the movie star wanted to record his own music, but he felt torn between his love for acting and music.

Sounds pretty fabricated to us and his rep indeed confirmed:

"The report is untrue. He is not working on an album right now."

Let's leave the singing to the singers don't you think? It is said that Bruno Mars will form part of the "Breaking Dawn" soundtrack.

Who else do you think should be featured in the film's soundtrack?

Robert Pattinson
fans got a big treat at last night's MTV Movie Awards. The 25-year-old Twilight star dominated the stage at L.A.'s Gibson Amphitheatre, taking home Best Male Performance, Best Fight Scene, and Best Kiss. Not only that, his Twilight: Eclipse film took home Best Movie of the year.

But, in between R. Patz moments, there was plenty of glam, glitz, and unpredictable comedy. Host Jason Sudeikis made sure to include some Arnold Schwarzenegger jokes in his monologue and even singled out Selena Gomez for a raunchy one-liner! But his shining moment was undoubtedly the opening Hangover Part II parody, which featured a hilarious cameo by Eva Mendes.

Other LOL tidbits came courtesy of Jim Carrey, who wore an image-flashing suit while presenting The Foo Fighters. Comic Aziz Ansari also got some laughs with his Jaden Smith impersonation, but perhaps the most off-the-wall moment occurred when R. Patz kissed costar Taylor Lautner on stage!

One of the trademarks of every MTV Movie Awards show are the sneak peeks of upcoming summer films. And this year's batch are sure to generate a ton of buzz. Throughout the evening, exclusive new scenes were shown of Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Super 8, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

As far as the big winners go (other than Robert Pattinson of course), there were quite a few that got the crowd buzzing. Justin Bieber took home Best Jaw Dropping Moment for his concert film Never Say Never and interestingly did not thank his new gal pal in his acceptance speech. And up-and-coming Latina Alexys Nycole Sanchez got a huge response when she won Best Line From A Movie (for her "I want to get chocolate wasted" moment from Grown Ups).

As expected, fashion was a huge part of the evening. Twilight’s Kristen Stewart got the most attention for her safety-pin studded ensemble and sleek black pumps. Harry Potter’s Emma Watson went for the more sophisticated look, sporting a Marchesa-designed white mini skirt. Prom’s Aimee Teegarden stood out with her colorful flowing dress and former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes took a little heat for flossing way too much spray-tan.

At two hours, the show definitely packed a lot in and never felt rushed or boring (are you listening Oscars?). Add to that a killer live performance from Lupe Fiasco and Trey Songz, and it's clear that this year's MTV Movie Awards definitely delivered the goods.

We never pegged RPattz as a rapper!  When Robert Pattinson appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (airing today, May 13th - Pattinson's 24th Birthday), the British actor revealed his teen rapping aspirations.

Twilight

"I used to want to be a rapper when I was, like, 14."

Pattinson was joined on the show by co-stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner to promote the release of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" in June.

Twilight

After performing "Never Think" and "Let Me Sign" on the 2008 Twilight soundtrack, fans were made privy to Robert Pattinson's exceptional musical skills.

Gotta say, Team Blogamole was pretty skeptical when we heard the rumor that Edward was being tapped to play Kurt Cobain in a biopic. Sure, it's one thing to play a sensitive vampire in movies made for fan girls, but are Robert Pattinson's acting chops evolved enough to accurately portray the visionary behind "Smells Like Teen Spirit"?

According to NY Daily News, RPattz was reportedly contacted for the role by Cobain's widow, rocker Courtney Love, who also wants Scarlett Johansson to play herself. However, Love's manager says it's not likely.

A production deal with Universal does exist — the film's working title is Heavier Than Heaven, as The Sun reported.

Even if this casting news is just a rumor, it's fun to imagine what Robert could bring to a Cobain biopic. Our first thought was that perhaps (strictly in terms of looks) Joe Anderson is a better fit, but it's probably too soon to play favorites.

Let's take a look at some of Kurt Cobain's videos and think about this a bit more:

Now, let's watch a clip of RPattz playing a young guy riddled with angst:

Though Twilighters are already salivating for the chance to see the first "Eclipse" trailer in theaters next month, star Kristen Stewart had yet to hear Thursday's news- that the trailer would make its big debut before Robert Pattinson's "Remember Me" on March 12. Below, Kristen weighs in on what clips should make the two minute trailer.

And while "Eclipse" is set to hit theaters June 30th, production on the 4th film in the franchise, "Breaking Dawn" hasn't even begun; as studio heads continue to debate whether the book should be broken into 1 or 2 flicks. Check out Kristen's opinion below, as well as what's on her spring agenda.

MMM...MMM....Good! Could we ever get enough R-Patz?! We think not, and the studios agree because Robert Pattinson was offered a role in Fox 2000’s period piece “Water For Elephants,” a novel adaptation following a veterinary student who joins the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth during the Great Depression.

Already set to star in the film is Reese Witherspoon, who will play horse rider Marlena. Sean Penn is reportedly considering the role of her husband, August, the circus’ animal trainer.

The vamp will next appear in “Remember Me,” due March 12, and in the third film in “The Twilight Saga,” “Eclipse,” on June 30.

He also has upcoming roles in two more period dramas — “Bel Ami” and “Unbound Captives.”

Meanwhile, news of a film adaptation of the fourth and final novel in “The Twilight Saga,” “Breaking Dawn,” is expected to be announced in the coming months. (AccessHollywood)

Looks like we'll be seeing a lot from R-Patz in 2010! We couldn't be happier!
