There were pre-screenings of Twilight all over the country last night. There were quite a few very lucky TwilightMOMS that were able to attend these screenings. Our Coven Mother, Lisa, was one of those lucky MOMS. She has written part one of her review HERE. Head on over and read it! I’m anxiously waiting to read part two! After you’ve read her review you can pass the time while you’re waiting for part two to be published by checking out the amazing photos that *gypsy wings* snagged on the red carpet at the premiere that are posted on Lisa’s blog.
*Warning* There are some spoilers in Lisa’s review so if you are trying to stay spoiler free don’t read it quite yet.
We also have a thread set up for the other TwilightMOMS that got to view Twilight last night here. It is the only place that the pre-screenings are being discussed currently. The thread is full of spoilers so reader beware!!!
Peter Facinelli (our Dr. Carlisle Cullen *sigh*) will be on the Bonnie Hunt show tomorrow- November 19th. To find out when and where it airs in your area check out their site HERE.
Having just seen the movie I can guarantee I won’t be missing this one- Dr. Cullen is dazzling!!!
