So July is finally here! Usually I don't really look forward to July, or rather the end of it - *Cough* stupid birthday thingey *cough*! - but this July is very special! I finally managed to assuage a yearning though strangely it has far from dissipated.
A little overdue but to be fair, I have been overdosing on Eclipse since its release on 1 July, LOL. After all, what can one do when Forks and the Cullens keep beckoning? Why, keep visiting of course! Wouldn't do to disappoint the Cullens after all!
The soundtrack didn't resonate with me as much when I bought it, even as I was stoked when I had my hands on it, LOL! Oh, I tell a lie, I was really excited about Muse's Neutron Star Collision but the rest weren't making an impact on me much.
I was tickled when there was a poster in it too. First pic I see, aaahhhh my beloved Cullens, oh what joy! Then I see the wolf pack, awesome. But what it becomes on the opposite side and all on its own, what a gorgeous sight! Oh my Bella!
Of course now that I have seen the movie a time or two or more, that is no longer the case. Alexandra Patsavas, the Music Supervisor, has done a wonderful job yet again and her collaboration with David Slade, the Director, is wicked cool!
Furthermore, I've never pay much attention to movie scores before this even as I know how important they are to a movie. So I was not able to fully appreciate everyone's excitement when Howard Shore came on board. Yes, Howard Shore of Lord of the Rings fame and Oscar winning too! I confess I loved Lord of the Rings in its entirety but if one is to ask me about its score, I would have to give a blank look.
But oh my word... his score for Eclipse just kills me! It complements the various scenes so perfectly it's totally surreal! I can listen to it now and it will leave an impact, as though I'm instantly imported to Forks yet again! Sigh.... These are some of ones that really left me breathless.

So the film is amazing! Even as I understand the impossibility of putting every delicious bit of the novel into a 2-hour movie, I think they were able to get the essence of the story and has managed to enhance our appreciation of the series thus far, even further. Thank you David Slade!
As for how many times I've seen this film to date... well, let's not ruin the moment, shall we?
