To Infinity and Beyond!

All the Characters
     I hope that you know I am talking about Toy Story when you read the title. I grew up watching Toy Story. The first movie came out in 1995 which was the year I was born.
     In the first movie Andy(voiced by John Morris) falls in love with Woody the sherriff(voiced by Tom Hanks), until Andy gets a new toy. Buzz Lightyear(voiced by Tim Allen). Buzz makes Woody feel like Andy has lost sight that Woody exists and thinks that Andy only loves Buzz. Meanwhile Buzz is trying to save people like he thinks he is suppose to from his commercial. Andy and Woody have an adventure that they both have to work together even though they dislike each other.
     After the first movie was a success Disney and Pixar decided to make a second Toy Story movie, Toy Story 2. In this second movie we meet back up with some of the main characters from the first movie, Woody, Buzz, Andy, and some of the other minor toys, that are not main but are still important to the movie. 
     We also meet some new toys in the second movie. We meet Jessie a cowgirl(voiced by Joan Cusack), his horse Bullseye, and Stinky Pete the Prospector(voiced by Kelsey Grammer) who are all from the old popular television show Woody's Roundup. During this movie the gang goes through some problems again but in the end Jessie and Bullseye become a part of Andy's toys.  
     In 2011 Toy Story 3 came out. In this third movie we meet Lot's-O-Huggin' Bear( voiced by ). Lotso is an evil bear. At the beginning Lotso makes friends with Woody, Buzz and the gang at Sunnyside daycare where they get donated when Andy goes off to college. The gang thinks Lotso is very nice until he makes a plan to have Woody killed.  The toy's all help to try and save Woody. 
     All the Toy Story movies are great! If you are young or old you will love these movies. They are great for family movie nights. :) I recommend that you watch all three.
     TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!!

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

Stephenie Meyer
     Stephenie Meyer the writer of the Twilight Saga has another one of her books becoming a movie that will come out on November 18, 2011. The Twilight Saga consists of four books, Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and the final book Breaking Dawn.     
     Breaking Dawn the book is broken up into three sections, the first and third section is from Bella Swan's view point just like all the other books in this saga but the second section is from Jacob Black's view point.  
     In case you don't know anything about the Twilight Saga here's a little background information. Bella Swan is a human who has just moved from Phoenix, Arizona to live Forks, Washington with her father. Edward Cullen is a 104 year old vampire that Bella falls in love with because of his mysterious personality . Then there's Jacob Black who is a werewolf that has been in love with Bella ever since they were little.
     During Breaking Dawn Bella and Edward get married which absolutely crushes Jacob. While on their honeymoon on a little island in Brazil Bella finds out that she is pregnant with a half vampire and half human baby.
     Since Bella is only human her baby is taking over her body which is slowing killing her. Bella is not strong enough to continue with this pregnancy unless she gets turned into a vampire, so she won't die from their magical baby inside of her.
     In all the other books ever since Bella and Edward started dating Bella has wanted to become a vampire just like Edward and his family so that she and him would be in love forever.
     While Bella and Edward are trying to figure out what to do about their baby, Jacob and the Wolf pack are after Bella and her baby. The wolf pack wants Bella and her baby dead.
     Jacob, Edward and his family are going to work together to attempt to save Bella from the wolf pack. It is strange that Jacob the werewolf is going to work with Edward the vampire to help Bella. Jacob is only working with the vampires because he still loves Bella even though she is now married to Edward and carrying his child. 
Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson
     Now, for a little about the movie. The movie from what I have gathered follows along with the book pretty well just like all the other movies do. Bella Swan is played by Kristen Stewart, Edward Cullen is played by Robert Pattinson, and Jacob Black is played my Taylor Lautner. I know that the Breaking Dawn book is kind of long but what I don't understand is why they had to make the movie into two parts. I guess it will leave people wanting the second part.
     But the real question is: are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?
