The Next Twilight?

There is an article on Aol news about this book Firelight. In the article they are saying a company has picked up this and will be making a movie. It is also saying it could be the next Twilight. I have not heard of this book. Apparently it is about dragons. The article says are dragons the new vampires. I guess I am going to have to get it and see. I will let you know what I think. Have you heard or read this book?

Finally! Victoria and Alice Barbie Dolls!

Yes! I finally bought the Eclipse Victoria and Eclipse Alice Barbie dolls from Target today!




By the way, I called our local Toys R Us store first to see if they had the new Twilight Barbies today, but they hadn't received them yet. So I visited our local Target store, and they had the Victoria doll in stock for $24.95. I had to drive to another Target to get the Alice doll (which cost $27.49!)

So here they are, fresh out of their boxes!

First Alice...



My daughter helped me remove Alice and Victoria from their boxes. She remarked that the backgrounds and trees in the boxes looked very lifelike, especially Victoria's. The tree in Victoria's box appeared to have scratches on it (possibly from a bear's claw?) Anyways, we saved the boxes as "homes" for the dolls.

My daughter noticed that Alice's necklace doesn't come off, but that Alice's shoes fall off very easily! Also, Alice's feet are very tiny, and she doesn't stand up on her own. Her knees do bend back a bit, and she can cross her legs a bit.

A close-up of Alice and her necklace:



Alice's shoes:



And here's Victoria...



My daughter loved Victoria's long hair, but mentioned that her curly locks could easily get tangled while playing with the other Barbie dolls, and that her hair would be hard to brush. I suggested she take extra care to keep Victoria's hair neat and tidy.

Victoria stands up on her own fairly well. I think Victoria looks very confident and classy. She is taller than Alice, and almost as tall as the Edward doll. Her knees bend a bit, but she is not as flexible as the Alice doll, and doesn't sit very well. Victoria's jeans go down past her toes and tuck into her boots. My daughter thought it was hard to put on the boots again (Victoria's feet seemed a bit flimsy/bendy.)

My daughter also thought that the long coat really made Victoria look like a vampire (with the black details around the edges), but without the coat, Victoria looked just like a normal girl.

A close-up of Victoria and details of her clothing:

By the way, my daughter held up the dolls in the sunlight to see if they sparkled like Edward. Unfortunately, they didn't sparkle at all. (I guess no one sparkles like Edward!)

Even without the sparkles, we both thought that Alice's and Victoria's skin tones and makeup were very beautiful.

Overall, we're happy to welcome Alice and Victoria to our Twilight Barbie family, and we highly recommend both dolls to any Barbie collector!

So here's our Twilight Barbie family so far (Alice, Jacob, Kelly as "Renesmee", Bella, Edward, and Victoria):



Update: Here's a link to my review of the Twilight Barbie Bella, Edward, and Jacob dolls, too.

Who is Rami Malek?

Rami Malek is the talented young actor who has been cast to play Benjamin in the movie, Breaking Dawn. Here's a bit of background information on both Rami and Benjamin:

Rami Malek
Rami Said Malek was born in Los Angeles, California on May 12, 1981, which makes him 29 years old. Rami has a twin brother, Sami. His family is of Egyptian descent. Rami received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Evansville, Indiana.

Rami has been in several television shows and movies since 2004, both comedic and dramatic. I've seen brief bits of HBO's The Pacific, and I think he's an amazing actor. I've also seen him in the Night and the Museum and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian movies, both of which I really enjoyed. Even though his part wasn't big in the latter two movies (he played the Egyptian Pharaoh, "Ahkmenrah") he made an impression and showed great comedic timing.



From what I've seen of Rami's acting skills, I think he's a great choice to play Benjamin. (It doesn't hurt that he's also cute and likable.)

Benjamin
For those of you who haven't read "Breaking Dawn" recently, Benjamin was a member of the Egyptian coven, along with Amun, his maker, Kebi, and Tia, Benjamin's mate. Benjamin and the Egyptian vampires traveled to Forks to help the Cullens battle the Volturi.

In the book "Breaking Dawn," Bella describes Benjamin as "...an oddly cheerful vampire who looked barely older than a boy and seemed both utterly confident and utterly careless at the same time." (page 609)

She also notes that "the Egyptians all looked so alike, with their midnight hair and olive-toned pallor."(page 609)

Bella observes "...it was Benjamin whom they all seemed to revolve around, as if he had some invisible magnetism the other depended upon for their balance." (page 609)

Edward tells Bella that Benjamin "...can actually influence the elements--earth, wind, water, and fire. True, physical manipulation, no illusion of the mind." (page 610)

Edward mentions that "his gift is so singular that Amun is terrified of losing him [presumably to Aro and the Volturi.]" (page 610)

Edward also confirms to Bella that he likes Benjamin. "He has a very clear sense of right and wrong. I like his attitude." (page 610)

Even though Benjamin and his coven first appear near the end of the book, I wouldn't be surprised if Benjamin (and the other vampire covens) somehow make an appearance in both Breaking Dawn movies.

DVD!

It looks like it will be out just in time for Christmas. December 4th. Santa, I know what I want in my stocking!
