When Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart)
reluctantly moved to the perpetually overcast town of Forks, WA, and set out to carve a
niche for herself, she assumed it would be one similar to the low-profile social position
she held back in Phoenix. First on the list of surprises was the unfamiliar attention from
the male population of her new high school; second, the attention from one male in
particular: Edward Cullen, Vampire (Robert Pattinson). Before long, the unlikely soul
mates find themselves in a passionate relationship with a variety of significant setbacks,
including Edward's special-needs diet (he doesn't eat humans, but Bella's scent inspires a
nearly impossible to harness bloodlust) and the human girl's mortality. Though things
proceed relatively smoothly at first (Edward even introduces Bella to his adoptive vampire
family), a visiting vampire clan consisting of James (Cam Gigandet), Victoria (Rachelle
Lefevre), and Laurent (Edi Gathegi) catches Bella's unique scent and threatens the young
couple's budding, if dangerous, happiness. James, known for his powerful tracking ability,
becomes obsessed with making Bella his next victim. Fearing for Bella's safety and that of
her loved ones, the Cullens must combine their collective talents in order to stop the
highly predatory James before his goal is accomplished. |

Jason Vorhees returns to the big
screen in this Platinum Dunes remake that nixes the original's conceit that Mrs. Vorhees
was the killer in order to give more screen time to her hockey-masked murderous son, who
will once again haunt the cursed campgrounds of Crystal Lake. Freddy vs. Jason scribes
Damian Shannon and Mark Swift penned the screenplay, with Pathfinder director Marcus
Nispel handling the directing duties. Danielle Panabaker and small-screen star Jared
Padalecki (Supernatural) head up the cast as the franchise's newest scream queen and an
investigator looking into the deadly going-ons at Crystal Lake. |
