On the Market: Sleep in Edward Cullen's Bedroom

CasaSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:37:06 -0800

All right, Twilight fans, here's your chance to get a little closer to Edward Cullen. The Vancouver residence that the Cullens inhabit in the New Moon film is for sale for $3.3 million through Soprovich Realty.

The five-bedroom, four-bath home is a modernist's dream, with extensive use of glass and post and beam style throughout the soaring, open spaces. The fantastic views of the surrounding Pacific Northwest landscape only add to this home's considerable charm. According to the realtor's listing,

"The Cullen House" as seen in the recent world-wide hit saga - "Twilight: New moon"!! Arthur Erickson's finest and totally renovated in 2001, this award-winning residence is situated on a private 1/2 acre creekside property nestled amongst a gorgeous greenbelt and towering trees. Tastefully remodeled by Brian Hemingway, this home has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, with the finest detail and quality available.

The home features a private studio with koi pond, concrete, slate, wool carpet, and cherry floors, a chef's kitchen, cherry cabinets, granite countertops, 20-foot-high ceilings, an outdoor pool, and a huge media room overlooking a nearby creek. Absolutely gorgeous, for vampires and humans alike.

Take the complete tour when you read more.

This is not the same house used in Twilight. That house was designed by architect Jeff Kovel of Skylab Architecture. For New Moon, the filming was moved to Vancouver, BC, and the Erickson-designed house, which was also featured in the John Cusack film Martian Child, became the Cullen home for the second film in the Twilight saga.

Found It! Bella Swan's New Moon Bedding

CasaSugar — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 08:00:08 -0700

In some behind the scenes photos from the much-anticipated New Moon, Bella Swan looks very cozy under that beautiful flocked purple bedding. Edward Cullen seems eager to hop underneath it as well. Wondering where you can get this comforter for your own home? Find out when you read more.

It's the Modern Home Flocked Leaf Comforter Set in purple ($29.99-$137.99). It seems to be sold out right now - although you can find it on eBay. But, the Modern Home Flocked Leaf Comforter Set in black/charcoal ($69-$89), which is just slightly different, is still available.

Etsy Find: Edward Cullen Life-Size Wall Decal

CasaSugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 12:00:00 -0700

I've been pretty open about my subsiding feelings for wall decals. But upon finding this Edward Cullen Life-Size Decal ($60), I feel confident saying the trend has finally jumped the shark. This product is nearly as creepy as, if not creepier than, the Psycho-inspired shower curtain. On the other hand, I don't consider myself much of a Twilight fan - aside from the Cullen family's awesome coveted crib. If I were a Robert Pattinson fan, I'd prefer a photo of his brooding face on my wall. What do you think? Is this decal ridiculous? Or do you think it's fun?

Would You Choose Robert Pattinson or Edward Cullen?

Robert Pattinson is sexy, but it's hard to deny the impact that his character, Edward Cullen, has had on his skyrocket to fame. In this USA Today Weekend Edition, Robert Pattinson addresses the fact that so many fans seem unable to differentiate between him and his character Edward Cullen, saying, "Right at the beginning, everyone just called me Edward. I don't really mind either way. There's something about that character that, for some reason, has sparked an interest in massive degrees in so many different people. If you want to compete with your own character, you have to really fight. I don't know if I could be bothered to fight. I just let it go by." So, we want to know which do you prefer - the real life Robert Pattinson or the fictional Edward Cullen who is so dreamy?

Would You Choose Robert Pattinson or Edward Cullen?

Robert Pattinson – He's got a sense of humor and more personality to go with all that hotness.

Edward - He is the perfect man, er, vampire. How could anyone compete?

Neither - Real or fictional, he just doesn't do it for me.

New Moon: Better Than Twilight

BuzzSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:45:00 -0800

Let's be honest: for most of you, it doesn't matter what I - or any critics for that matter - have to say about New Moon, the incredibly anticipated sequel to last year's Twilight. The film started breaking box office records before it was even released, and audiences will flock to the theaters for weeks to come. On the plus side, a ticket to New Moon is a win even if you're not a Twihard - provided that you know what you're getting into.

New Moon is not incredibly acted, and it doesn't boast impressive dialogue or larger-than-life special effects. But it's not trying to be the Best Picture of the Year, so I can only critique it for what it is: a fantasy movie about a love triangle between a werewolf, a vampire, and a teenage girl. To see what I mean, just read more.

The movie picks up a few months after where Twilight left off. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is blissfully in love but she can't fight her insecurities about growing older than her perpetually seventeen vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). All Bella wants for her eighteenth birthday is for Edward to change her into a bloodsucker, but a close call with his brother drives Edward to break up with Bella and leave town instead.

The drama following Bella's abandonment is everything we remember from high school heartbreak, from Bella's night terrors to the glazed over look in her eye. The anguish and pain are easily seen on Stewart's face, and her innermost thoughts are revealed to the audience through letters to Edward's sister Alice that will never be sent. After months of moping, Bella finally starts to open up to Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), a family friend. As Bella struggles to find hope in a life without Edward, her friendship is complicated by Jacob's romantic feelings for Bella and made worse when Jacob discovers that he's a werewolf (and an enemy to all vampires).

The surprise of the movie is Lautner's performance. We've seen and heard about those muscles countless times before, but he also packs enough charm and charisma into his Jacob that you truly see him as more than just Bella's unrelenting admirer / best friend. He presents himself as a viable suitor for Bella's heart, and it's hard not to root for him against Robert Pattinson's wooden (albeit handsome) Edward. Stewart and Pattinson have chemistry to spare in Twilight, but in New Moon, Bella's relationship with Jacob seems hopeful and comfortable while her scenes with Edward are mostly awkward and frankly not as much fun to watch.

The movie belongs to Stewart and Lautner, but their melodrama is balanced out by the characters who pad out the cast. Yes, we meet the wolf pack and the Volturi, but for the most part the Forks residents and beyond make for some much-needed comic relief. The downside is that while it's funnier than what you'd expect, not all of the laughs are intentional (a scene where Jacob's temper rivals that of The Incredible Hulk comes to mind).

It doesn't take more than a grain of salt to appreciate New Moon for what it is - a film that stays true to its origin and delivers the necessary elements to ensure that you'll be back when the next installment of the franchise comes our way.
