This week in Music: The New James Bond Theme Song

Adele singing an action film theme? Why not.

P.S. Daniel Craig is the hottest James Bond. Ever. Don't you agree? :D

Breaking Dawn in Bullet Points

• I was never a fan of the book but I’ve watched all the movie adaptations of the Saga and I think that this is the most impossible movie of all. I cannot comprehend how a vampire can impregnate an 18-year old woman. Technically, vampires are dead right? So how come? How come? (Pun not intended).

• Does Stephanie Meyer have necrophilia? Who makes love to a vampire? Apparently Bella does (and is sooooo excited and nervous in doing so, if I may add). The jitters I don’t get since she might as well have been copulating with an iceberg and the iceberg doesn’t even feel anything anyway.
• I know Twilight is fiction but I think the author uses ‘fiction’ loosely. Classifying your work as fiction doesn’t mean you can propel all your daydreams into reality.
• Great make-up though, Bella’s deterioration was convincing. When she was ‘reborn’ as a vampire and her face started to blanch, my mind was screaming; “This is a subtle promotion for Kristen’s new film, Snow White.”
• I liked how they brought back some of the music from the past installations. Might not be a fan of the movie but the Twilight OSTs are nice to hear. I have to admit that I swooned during the part when Edward and Bella were exchanging vows with the Iron and Wine song playing during the scene. That’s about the only thing I extremely liked. All other things in between were okay at best and unremarkable at worst.

A one-paragraph reaction to Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Too many characters and scenes omitted. I didn't expect the movie to be faithful to the book version but at least they could've kept the important characters such as Ares, Mr. D., the Oracle, Clarisse, and most especially Kronos. Without Kronos, there was really no point to it at all. There was even no mention of the prophecy. How do they propose to build up/connect to the other installments without the Titan and the prophecy, then?
