Songs Playing in Eclipse Scenes / Credits

Now that most of you Twi-hards have probably watched the Eclipse movie (twice even?), I'm sure a lot of you are wondering which songs on the Eclipse OST were played on which Eclipse movie scene, like "What song was played in the bed / kissing scene when Edward proposed to Bella?" or "What was that song that was playing during the graduation party?". Wonder no further. I've compiled a list of corresponding songs for each scene.

1. "Eclipse (All Yours)" by Metric
This main Eclipse theme song played in various scenes as an instrumental version (like in the last scene that featured the meadow). The actual version of this song was played during the credits.

2. "Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever)" by Muse
Stephenie Meyers has always been a fan of Muse, so it wasn't surprising that a Muse song was again played in Eclipse. This particular tune was played during the graduation party held at the Cullen house.

3. "Ours" by The Bravery
You heard this song also during the graduation party. This was the first music that you would have heard, prior to the Muse tune above.

4. "Heavy in your Arms" by Florence + The Machine
Also played during the credits.



And the bed / proposal scene song of Edward and Bella is...

5. "My Love" by Sia
Where we saw a bit of "action" going on between Bella and Edward. Bella attempts to seduce the vampire, but he insists upon his old-fashioned gentleman ways and proposes to Bella. When Bella says yes, he sweeps her off the bed. You can listen to it here:



6. "Atlas" by Fan Farlo
Plays during the car ride, when Edward drops Bella off at the treaty line between La Push and Forks to bring her to Jacob.

7. "Chop and Change" by The Black Keys
This music is heard in the opening scene of the movie when Riley leaves the bar and is bitten / changed by vengeful vampire, Victoria.

8. "Rolling in on a Burning Tire" by The Dead Weather
Played during the conversation between Victoria and Riley, where Victoria explains why she won't be joining in on the Newborn fight.

9. "Let's Get Lost" by Beck and Bat for Lashes
Bella reads a letter from Jacob and attempts to visit him in La Push, only to find out that Edward has sabotaged her truck.

10. "Jonathon Low" by Vampire Weekend
How appropriate is it for Vampire Weekend to play a song for a vampire movie? Jacob takes Bella to Emily's cabin on a bike when you hear this song.

11. "With You in My Head" by Unkle
This is the kickass scene where Jasper Hale was training the Cullens and the wolves how to kill those pesky newborns for the upcoming epic battle. Go Jasper!

12. "A Million Miles an Hour" by Eastern Conference Champions
In this scene, Edward and Bella arrive at the school parking lot and run into Jacob Black looking mighty fine on his motorbike.

13. "Life on Earth" by Band of Horses
This is the scene where Edward tells Bella, "You'll always be my Bella""

14. "What Part of Forever" by Cee Lo Green
Another credits music filler

15. "Jacob's Theme" by Howard Shore
This plays during the (you guessed it right) Jacob-centric scenes. It was played:
1. When Jacob and Bella argue in his garage, and the fiery werewolf tells her she would be better off dead than as a vampire
2. When Jacob and Bella share a kiss (Bella and Jacob fans loved this for sure!)

BONUS TRACKS:
16. "How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep" by Bombay Bicycle Club
Cafeteria scene where Bella, Edward, and Bella's human friends think of ideas for Jessica's speech.

17. "The Line" by Battles
I don't think this was played during the movie. I could be wrong though. Comment if you can remember.

Taylor Lautner, Tom Cruise, Pattinson at the 2010 MTV Music Awards

The 2010 MTV Music Awards is coming up in a few days, and of course, the Twilight hotties, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson, are on the spotlight again. This time, Tom Cruise makes a comeback as Les Grossman, the funny studio executive in Tropic Thunder, and includes Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson in 2 separate videos.

Here we see Taylor Lautner and Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise has decided to hire a double for Lautner, because Taylor supposedly has a wedding to attend. The double looks nothing like Taylor, causing the Jacob Black actor to be a bit ticked off. The end shows Taylor fist pounding with Les Grossman (Tom Cruise) :P

For the Tom Cruise / Robert Pattinson version, Tom Cruise berates him for attempting to clean up his look for the awards. Again, it ends with the fist pound.

So, which Tom Cruise + Twilight hottie ad did you prefer? The one with Jacob Black or the one with Edward Cullen? Personally, I loved seeing Taylor miffed, but I also found Edward Cullen's reaction to Grossman's lecture quite cute.

Here's a youtube I digged up of the full-length version of Fanfarlo's "Atlas". Fanfarlo is also an indie band.



Sounds pretty good :)

What do you guys think? Do you think it's gonna be as great as the New Moon OST? I'm going to wait till I get my copy and listen to everything before I give my official judgment :P I'm particularly curious and excited how Jacob's theme will sound like. It says it was composed by Howard Shore (the guy responsible for the awesomeness that is the LOTR OST among others). I'm also quite happy that the Twilight saga is still getting indie bands to do their tracks.

Eclipse Epic 2nd Trailer + Movie Scenes!

While Eclipse's first trailer focused on the Jacob-Bella-Edward love triangle, this second Eclipse movie trailer gives due focus on the epic action scenes and plot developments that Eclipse contains. The second trailer shows scenes from all the aspects I personally enjoyed in Eclipse! The newborns, Jacob's hot temper, the Volturi, Victoria, Jasper (finally in the limelight!) and, of course, a whole lot of vampire-werewolf battling!




Can't get enough of the Volturi? Here's a video showing some Eclipse movie scenes of the Volturi team (the younger ones of the group) discussing about the fate of the newborn vampires. Jane is leading the pack and is pretty intimidating, showing off her torture-inducing powers. Alex didn't say a single word though.



What are your thoughts on these new Eclipse movie scenes? How did you find the new trailer?

Short Second Life of Bree Tanner - Eclipse Novella

While we're still waiting for that Edward POV novel to come around, as well as waiting for new Eclipse Movie updates to come around, I bring you great news. Stephenie Meyer has written an offshoot book out of Eclipse (an Eclipse Novella, if you will), which focuses on Bree Tanner and the dark world of the newborn vampires. It talks about the epic battle in the POV of Bree - how they form the newborn army and try to defeat the Cullen Family and Bella Swan.

It's quite an interesting plot and promises to be darker and more action-packed than the previous four Twilight Saga novels. As of this article, we need to wait only 55 days more till the Short Second Life of Bree Tanner hits the shelves.

Aside from the entertainment factor, this book is going to pay it forward by donating one dollar of every novella to American Red Cross. I estimate the donations to be quite a huge sum considering all the Twilight fans who will definitely be waiting in line to buy a copy of this.

Lilly Scott's (American Idol) Earrings

One thing that stood out for me about Lilly Scott, aside from her obviously talented quirky voice and musical styling was her earring collection. If you're like me and you've asked yourself "Where can I buy Lilly Scott's earrings?" at one point or another, then read on!

I found this Lilly Scott-inspired crochet earrings, the ones she wore when she sang a Patsy Cline tune (and surprisingly got eliminated that week!) here.


Check out Lilly Scott's actual earrings (first two pictures from the left) vs. the inspired version (right-most picture):

The Twilight Eclipse Movie Trailer

The Twilight Eclipse movie trailer is finally here and we've got lots of juicy tidbits from the Eclipse book featured here.



(1) Of course, there are the Edward / Bella moments:



(2) And then there's Jacob making a love triangle out of things:




Cutest Jacob picture by far, in my opinion ;)

At the latter portion of the trailer, Jacob tells Bella he's gonna take care of her till her heart stops beating - which is a very appropriate thing to say considering his disdain for the idea of Bella being turned into a vampire.


(3) And then Jacob Black and his... abs??(?)

Is it just me or has Jacob Black's abs vanished or lessened? Perhaps he got depressed and ate one too many Ben and Jerry's thinking about Bella Swan? None the less, he still looks fine ;)



(4) The Volturi make an appearance, and red-eyed Dakota Fanning (Jane) warns Edward and Bella that she must be turned real soon or else:







(5) Finally, the grand entrance of the new Victoria, now played by Bryce Dallas Howard. Personally, she doesn't look as fierce and elegant as the previous actor, Rachelle Lefevre, but let's wait and see how she delivers when the Eclipse movie shows:






One more leaked Eclipse movie screen shot can be seen here!

American Idol 9: First Set of Girls, Guys Booted Out

The drama that is elimination night has started again this season, and an unexpected set of guys and girls gout booted out this week.

I was afraid that it was the redhead Lacey Brown who was going to be booted out as her performance was lackluster, and she did not fall under the judge's faves category. You could imagine my relief when I realized Lacey was in.

Instead, two of the good looking girl contestants of the season were booted out: Janell and Ashley. It was a surprising turn of events considering the fact that the good looking ones normally get away with a few bad performances (case in point: Kristy Lee Cook).

I wasn't very surprised about the Joe Munoz cut, his performance was very safe. Good but nothing memorable, and nothing that could have spurred me (and apparently America) to vote for him. What surprised me terribly though was the Tyler Grady boot.

I felt 100% for Tyler Grady's comments about the judges giving constructive criticism too little to late. It almost felt as though the judges had plunged a knife into Tyler's back by suddenly doing a metanoia and putting down his 70s vibe. Back in Hollywood week, they were all praises about his "blast from the past" persona and performances, and had never, at one point, advised him to try to explore new territory. Kara had even said that she wanted to be in "Planet Tyler".

After an entertaining "American Woman" that was true to his style (definitely nothing groundbreaking but it was at least memorable), the judges suddenly turned their back on this lovable dark horse, telling him that he should try something new already, criticizing the things they had just praised about last week.

Even Simon Cowell seemed to nod in agreement when Tyler pointed this out. The judges should have at least taken his performance in stride, pointed out more good points about it and based their comments on their love for his old school style, and then suggested him to try something new next week. I blame the judges 100% for Tyler's absence next week.

It might not be the Year of the Tyler Grady this AI season, but I hope a lot of good things come his way.

Eclipse Movie Leaked Screenshots / Photos + Updates

For those who are having Twilight-related withdrawal symptoms, here's one screen shot of the Eclipse movie that have been revealed, which shows Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) being all lovey dovey:




I can't wait for the day they release action-packed Eclipse movie screen shots like the new breed of vampires, a glimpse of the skirmish among the werewolves, Cullens, and the Volturi, and Jasper Hale being in charge. I'd also love to see more of the Bella/Jacob vs Bella/Edward moments.

The Twilight cast has revealed that they have done intense training to prepare for the epic battle to take place in the third installment of the series.

Let's hope we get more Eclipse movie updates, teasers, photos, and screen shots soon!

The Eclipse movie is scheduled to show on June 30, 2010.

Twilight Rosalie Necklace Replica Jewelry

I finally got my authentic Rosalie Cullen Twilight Replica Necklace by NECA, purchased via Amazon.com. I bought it at less than $30. I'm sure a lot of you are curious as to how it looks like (every side of it, not just the front), so I've decided to post a few pictures of the bauble :)










My comments?
#1. The crest is quite huge. The crest measures 1.6 inches width X 2.6 inches height (this includes the filigree details beside the crest). I personally like it huge because it has the approximate size of a standard locket and I love locket necklaces. As such, I think the crest charm / pendant of the Rosalie Necklace replica jewelry looks better with a longer chain rather than the shorter double-stranded chain. Which leads to:
#2. The dual chain lengths. You can opt for the double-stranded chain (featured in the pictures above), or you can turn it into a long necklace, so it can match with all sorts of outfits and moods.
#3. Quality of the crest is not as brilliant as the crest on the Edward Cullen wrist cuff. The crest looks fine from afar, but if you really stare at it and look at it closely, the crest doesn't look as vintage as it should (if it were to look like it had been around the Cullen clan for hundreds of years), particularly the "background" where the crest's symbols lie. The background is dark gray and looks like it was just newly painted (which it really is anyway).

Overall, I'd give the Rosalie Cullen replica jewelry necklace a score of 8. From afar, the piece looks like a good necklace, and the fact that everyone knows it comes from Twilight makes all the difference. If it was just a random crest, it would probably not warrant as high a score since it holds no special meaning and place in our hearts. As it stands, however, it represents a mysterious, illustrious, and beloved family of one of the most popular books ever made, so I consider it a very good buy.
