Breaking Dawn Part 2

     Breaking Dawn Part 2 Premieres a midnight showing on Thursday. It is such a popular movie that some theatres are beginning to show it at 10 pm. If you haven’t already purchased your ticket it may be too late. Many theatres are sold out!   

      "'Part 2' does it about as well as it can be done. It must be hard for Summit Entertainment to drop the final curtain on a series that has grossed billions, but it bit the bullet, and I imagine fans will be pleased."                                                                                               Review by: Roger Ebert

     "If the entire five-part, 608-minutes-all-in running time of The Twilight Saga means anything at all, it is that vampires are the ultimate fairy-tale characters, as this is a story that literally ends happily ever after and forever for all concerned. Anyone who has seen even one of the previous cinematic installments of Stephanie Meyer’s endlessly protracted cross-species love story basically knows what to expect here, and the multitudes who have seen them all will jam theaters the world over in the coming weeks to experience the consummation so devoutly to be wished: the ultimate and imperishable union of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen."
