'Breaking Dawn' All Bark and a Little Bite
The latest "Twilight" film features the most anticipated wedding in years (minus, of course, the one with Will and Kate – and that Kardashian mess).
It has been three years since the last movie and the wait is finally over for fans of The Twilight Saga. Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) tie the knot at last in the highly anticipated Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1.
The film is the fourth in a supernatural soap opera franchise that has already raked in nearly $2 billion worldwide. If you are one of the only people on the planet who do not know about this series, here is all you need to know: Vampire Edward Cullen and human Bella Swan (who happens to be a virgin) are getting married, and their werewolf friend Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) is not very happy about it.
There are really no spoilers here. Your teenage daughter can tell you exactly what happens. Edward and Bella get married, two weeks later she gets pregnant, then–after almost dying–Bella gives birth. Parents, don't worry, there is nothing to see in the honeymoon sequence. The birth scene, however, is pushing the PG-13 rating to the edge. That being said, teenage girls all over the country should squeal with delight.

Now it may come as a shock, but I am not a big Twilight fan. However, the kids love this stuff. For the Twilight faithful or "Twi-hards," this is all cinema magic.
The flick-o-meter gives Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1 a three out of five. The dialogue is laughable and the movie is a two-hour saga that could have been a 30-minute flick. So with Edward and Bella married and suddenly parents of a rather unique baby, what's next? You'll have to wait to find out in part two of this series due to hit theaters a year from now. Are you team Edward or team Jacob ? Let me know on Facebook.

DINNER SELECTION
We stopped by Tokyo Grill in Toco Hills Promenade on North Druid Hills Road the other day, and we're finally ready to recommend it to you. In fact, we've been back twice since then. It's sensibly priced Japanese food. We got the Tokyo Grill Special or something like that. It's Hibachi-style steak, chicken and shrimp over brown rice with a side of zucchini and onions. A very large portion as well.
After that, you can check out the movie at . Check out showtimes here.
