‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ in review

Eyes of Amber — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 11:57:08 +0000

For all of us who spent months asking if it was June yet, the fact that it is now July seems nearly unbelievable. So what does that mean? It means that Eclipse is now out in US theaters and will soon be all over the UK as well. It’s US opening on Tuesday was a record-breaking $30 million for the midnight release alone. I was among those numbers, seeing the entire “Twilight Trilogy” back to back.

Happy Birthday Robert Pattinson

Eyes of Amber — Thu, 13 May 2010 16:20:55 +0000

Today is Robert Pattinson’s 24th birthday. All around the world today people are celebrating. Over on the main Eyes of Amber blog we’re celebrating by talking about how Rob came into our lives. We’ve asked readers to tell us whether they were Twilight fans or Rob fans first. Really looking forward to getting the answers on that one.

Remember Me arrives in the UK

Eyes of Amber — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 16:14:27 +0000

While the official premiere of Remember Me was almost two weeks ago, the film will open across the UK this weekend. I have seen the film four times, but I have tried very hard to keep all of my writing and twitter feed free of spoilers. I saw this movie without spoilers and I believe that everyone deserves that same opportunity.

New Eclipse poster revealed

Eyes of Amber — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 16:50:34 +0000

Yesterday was the day that we’ve been waiting for, the reveal of the Eclipse one sheet poster! Within minutes, people starting voicing their opinions. While some were thrilled with it, for others it fell far short of their expectations. I was kind of middle of the road.

Vampire Diaries hits the UK on February 2

Eyes of Amber — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:20:32 +0000

Wait, isn’t Eyes of Amber supposed to be all about Twilight and all things Twilight related? Why yes, yes it is. But you see, I have found another vampire passion as well. This one also has literary roots, but it’s taken to the small screen rather than the big screen. And beginning next week, it’s coming to the UK!

Twilight gets behind ‘Hope for Haiti’ telethon

Eyes of Amber — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:05:04 +0000

I’m sure that my readers think I’ve disappeared or totally forgotten about my little home away form home over here at t5m, but I promise I have not. I have all kinds of ideas that I want to work with here and I can’t wait to share them with you. But for today, there’s something a bit more serious to take on.

Two years of Twilight

Eyes of Amber — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 12:27:28 +0000

This is the time of year that we all begin to reminisce about the last 12 months. Christmas is upon us, which means a near year is just around the corner. This year we have the unique opportunity of looking back at the first decade of a new century. That’s absolutely amazing!

Eclipse chapter by chapter

Eyes of Amber — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:10:59 +0000

It’s been almost a month since New Moon hit theaters and just over six months until Eclipse does the same. A few weeks ago Kerry, my wonderful blogging partner, noticed that the number of weeks and chapters in Eclipse matched up just right. So she came up with the idea to do an Eclipse book discussion, chapter by chapter. But we didn’t want this to be just your average book discussion. We decided to do it as a panel. So once a week, the panel gets together online to chat.

When will we see Breaking Dawn?

Eyes of Amber — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:23:30 +0000

As the record-breaking box office numbers began to pour in for New Moon, there was a question heard across the fandom: What about Breaking Dawn? I’ll admit, I was one of those who predicted we’d get an announcement over opening weekend. I based that prediction on the fact that New Moon had been given the green light during opening weekend of Twilight last year. But as you know, no such announcement was made.

How will you welcome New Moon?

Eyes of Amber — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:12:37 +0000

While last week brought a wonderful fan event to the UK, no one can deny that the release of New Moon is the real main event. All kinds of Twilight fans will be holding special celebrations. While of course I’m going to share my plans, I want to hear all about yours too! Are you having a party? Are you going to see it multiple times? Is anyone seeing Twilight before?

Twi-Theories Tuesdays

Eyes of Amber — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:31:34 +0000

It is nearly impossible to believe that the countdown is now just two weeks until New Moon. It feels like we’ve been saying “Is it November yet?” for well…months. And now, the answer to that is yes! It all just seems surreal. We are so close to watching New Moon. I bought my tickets weeks ago, then went back earlier this week to pick up one for the Twilight showing before the midnight release. I’m very excited. Two weeks from now, I will have seen New Moon and be less than six hours away from seeing it a second time.

Real men read Twilight Part 3 – The Instigator

Eyes of Amber — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:01:11 +0000

In the last two weeks, you’ve met TheShagDaddy and Shaun, two guys who’ve made their wives very happy by reading Twilight. But not only did they read it, they enjoyed it and became fans themselves. Today I’m introducing you to Dean, the Instigator. He may be the rarest breed of unicorn there is. Why? Just check this out…
