Twilight Love Story and Costumes!


ampire love story Twilight was released on DVD this past week, and as expected, it sold many a copy! The movie sold more than 3 million copies on the first day of its release! All the mayhem got us in the mood for some vampire fun, so we pulled out our favorite vampire costumes! Check out all of the gory goodies you'll need to recreate a vampire love affair here. 

The hoopla began Friday night with a series of midnight events. Or rather, the craziness began hours earlier as young fans and their parents lined up at retail stores across the country to be among the first to take home a copy.

In Salt Lake City, 2,500 devotees braved lines, while 2,000 attended in Los Angeles and 700 showed up in New York. Several "Twilight" actors made appearances at the events, including Ashley Greene(Alice Cullen), Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale), Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria) and Edi Gathegi (Laurent). Director Catherine Hardwicke held court in Dallas, even though she will not be helming the next film in the series, "New Moon." Not in attendance, however, were the film's biggest stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

The opening sales make "Twilight" one of the five best-selling DVDs of the last two years, joining blockbusters "The Dark Knight," "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Transformers."

Keira Knightley's Leaving Pirates Behind!

Everyone knows a Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is being plotted as we speak, and mega producer Jerry Bruckheimer has already announced that Johnny Depp will return as Captain Jack Sparrow – but what about Depp’s main co-stars Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Swan) and Orlando Bloom (Will Turner). Will either of them have a role in the franchise from part four forward?

 

Moviefone caught up with Knightley while the actress was doing press for her new film The Edge of Love, and it doesn’t seem like the gal is all too interested in donning the damsel in distress gear any time soon. On returning for the sequel, she notes: “It was a completely fantastic experience, and it was an amazingly large portion of my life, but I don't think I need to go there again. I think that it's done. But I'm very excited to see the next one. And [Johnny Depp] is so wonderful in that character. I think it'll be wonderful.”

Keira may have turned down her part, but the show must go on! Maybe we'll audition? We have such great pirate costumes, right guys? You all have consistently caused our pirate stock to sell out, so we must be doing something right! Check out our selection of pirate costumes here. Ladies, check out our gorgeous Renaissance and Medieval dresses. They're similar to the garb Keira dons in the films, and they are B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. Watch a clip of Keira in the Pirates flicks below and weep - where ever will they find a replacement? Alas, we suppose that's not our job to worry about. We've just got to get the costumes covered for movie-goers. Trust us, we won't let you down! Keira, on the other hand...well, we can't control her.

Go see Watchmen!


We've heard rave reviews about the new superhero movie Watchmen. Based on the only graphic novel to ever grab a spot on the NYTimes Bestseller List, Watchmen was a literary tour-de-force, and now it's hit the big screen. Check out an extended trailer here, and visit the movie's official site for more info. 
It got us in the mood for some superhero costumes. We've always been big fans of Superman, but who knows - maybe Watchmen will bring us some new heroes come Halloween! Check out our favorite superhero costumes here, and head over to Fandango to pick up your Watchmen tickets!

Step2
Tie a few green mylar shamrock balloons to the front of the house or the front gate and screw a green "party" lightbulb into the outside light so that your guests will know where the party is.
Step3
String green Christmas tree lights (available year-round via the Internet) across the ceiling.

Place a big rock (or fake papier maché rock) right inside the entrance with a sign that says, "BLARNEY STONE - KISS FOR GOOD LUCK."
Step5
Pass out "Kiss me, I'm Irish" buttons to your guests as they arrive. Make everyone wear them.
Step6
Create a table of green munchies, including green cookies, green M&Ms and chips with guacamole (See "How to Make Food Green for St. Patrick's Day," Related eHows). Serve them out of green plastic leprechaun hats.

Set tables with green tablecloths, napkins and cups and sprinkle shamrock confetti on tables and other flat surfaces.
Step8
Serve both a traditional Irish beer (such as Guinness) and a cheaper light beer that you can dye green with food coloring; don't forget the green Jell-O shots!
Step9
Hold a limerick contest - after people have had a few drinks - and award a silly prize to the winner.
Step10
Buy a CD of classic Irish pub songs and have it playing in the background and/or rent the horror movie "Leprechaun" and have it playing (with the sound muted) on your TV.
