Twilight Eclipse DVD: Five Reasons You Moms Will Love It!

Twilight Eclipse DVD: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart make moms smile!

Did you get your “Twlilight: Eclipse” DVD yet? Yesterday I noted that other moms’ Facebook status were full of “waiting for my Eclipse DVD!” and “Loving Eclipse extras.” The most popular feature seemed to be the Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart commentary, which generated a lot of Twitter comments, too. Here are five reasons you Twihard moms will love this new DVD!
1. Because it’s not “SpongeBob,” the Wiggles or anything animated.
2. Because Rob Pattinson is soooo much dreamier than your husband. (Whom you love, but let’s be realistic.)
3. Because the older Rob gets, the less guilty you have to feel about lusting after him.
4. Because the Rob and Kristen (I’d say Robsten … but I still can’t stomach that teenbopper term) commentary is pretty funny. (At one point, Rob pretends he’s Batman, and he makes a “Hey, Boo Boo!” reference.)
5. Because sometimes we need to be reminded that we’re more than just moms – we’re busy women who also need to enjoy things other than our dear and wonderful children. “Twilight” is always the perfect reminder.

Breaking Dawn: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart Steamy Scenes

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are in Brazil filming Breaking Dawn. But steamy photos from the Breaking Dawn of Rob and Kristen making out are burning up the Internet.

Playing husband and wife onscreen has made Robsten even more romantic and things seem to be getting more serious between the two actors.

The steamy photos from the Breaking Dawn set have even set off rumors that there will be a Robert Pattinson-Kristen Stewart wedding on the horizon—or even a baby!  Why do people go crazy about the Twilight story and about Edward & Bella?  Twilight Saga: Eclipse director David Slade gives his opinion, in an interview with the Vancouver Sun:

“I do believe in romantic love. How could you not, if you’re lucky enough to find it? It seems like we live in a much more sarcastic . . . cynical culture, and I don’t like to use the c-word. There’s the idea out there maybe that (romantic love) isn’t cool. But true love is a wonderful thing.”

Breaking Dawn, the final story in in the Twilight Saga follows main characters Bella Swan and Edward Cullen as they get married, start a family and Bella turns immortal.

Breaking Dawn is such a long story it has to be broken up into two films.  Part 1 is set for release on November 18, 2011, with Part 2 in November, 2012.

The Smurfs Cartoon: Facebook Fame And A Movie?

The Smurfs Movie Comes Out August 3, 2011

The Smurfs, an animated cartoon, ran throughout the 80’s and became one of pop cultures biggest fixtures. Today, these characters are being reinvented in more ways that one.

Not only are the Smurfs getting another shot at fame through Facebook profile pictures, but they are also due to be exploited in a feature length film out August 3, 2011.

The premise of the film goes like this:

Set in the Middle Ages, the evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) and his cat discover the Smurfs’ village and chase them into some woods. The Smurfs get scattered and Clumsy Smurf (voiced by Anton Yelchin) wanders into a “forbidden” grotto and some of the other Smurfs follow. But Papa Smurf just warns about the grotto, where all Smurfs should never go into this little cave. Since it’s also a blue moon, a magical portal within the grotto transports them into Central Park in New York. They take shelter with a married couple (Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays) and try to find a way back to their village before Gargamel finds them.

Check out the trailer for the upcoming film.

Airplane Quotes: Remembering Leslie Nielsen’s Funniest Airplane Moments (Video)

Airplane Quotes: Remembering Leslie Nielsen

Airplane quotes are all around some of the funniest lines ever spoken on film, but this roundup is a fond way to remember Leslie Nielsen, who died yesterday following complications from pneumonia. Nielsen was a beloved father to two girls.

Leslie Nielsen played many roles throughout his career, but fans may best remember and love his role as Dr. Rumack in Airplane.

Here are Leslie Nielsen Airplane quotes (video below), starting with the classic “surely/Shirley” line:

Dr. Rumack: Can you fly this plane, and land it?
Ted Striker: Surely you can’t be serious.
Rumack: I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley.

Rumack: You’d better tell the Captain we’ve got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
Rumack: It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now.

Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
Captain Oveur: I can’t tell.
Rumack: You can tell me. I’m a doctor.
Captain Oveur: No. I mean I’m just not sure.
Rumack: Well, can’t you take a guess?
Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
Rumack: You can’t take a guess for another two hours?

Rumack: What was it we had for dinner tonight?
Elaine Dickinson: Well, we had a choice of steak or fish.
Rumack: Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna.

[after the food poisoning epidemic strikes]
Captain Oveur: What is it, Doctor? What’s going on?
Rumack: I’m not sure. I haven’t seen anything like this since the Anita Bryant concert.

Rumack: I won’t deceive you, Mr. Striker. We’re running out of time.
Ted Striker: Surely there must be something you can do.
Rumack: I’m doing everything I can… and stop calling me Shirley!

Jack: What’s going on? We have a right to know the truth!
Rumack: [to the passengers] All right, I’m going to level with you all. But what’s most important now is that you remain calm. There is no reason to panic.
[Rumack's nose grows]
Rumack: Now, it is true that one of the crew members is ill… slightly ill.
[Rumack's nose grows again, like Pinocchio]
Rumack: But the other two pilots… they’re just fine. They’re at the controls flying the plane… free to pursue a life of religious fulfillment.

Sam Elliott: Five Things About The November Christmas Star

Sam Elliott, left, in "November Christmas"

Did you catch Sam Elliott last night in “November Christmas,” the touching CBS movie about an older couple (Elliott and Karen Allen) who try to help a younger one (John Corbett and Sarah Paulson) with a seriously ill daughter? In real life, Elliott says he had friends who lost a child, and he couldn’t imagine what that would be like.

“The loss of a child is just not supposed to happen,” the father of one told Zap2It.

Here’s five things about this wonderful actor – it was great to see him on-screen last night!

1. He and future wife Katharine Ross appeared in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.”

2. But they did not meet until nine years later, when they filmed “The Legacy” in 1978.

3. He attended Clark College in Vancouver, Wash.

4. He’s best known for his roles in Westerns and cowboy movies.

5. He’s rumored to be in contention to play Jonah Jameson in the newest “Spider-Man” film.
