TWILIGHT BREAKING DAWN Pt 1 MOVIE REVIEW

'Twihards' are squealing with joy over the Cullen's return to the big screen. Breaking Dawn Part 1 is the beginning of the finale of the blockbuster Twilight franchise. 

We enter to find Edward (Robert Pattinson) marrying his lovely mortal girl friend Bella (played perfectly by Kristen Stewart). The wedding ceremony and reception are fit for royalty and Alice Cullen (played by the delightful Ashley Greene) makes sure nothing is too much for Bella. 

With the wedding under way, we see the dejected Jacob (hunky Taylor Lautner) changing into his werewolf form and running off in anger to 'Northern Canada or somewhere like that'.  Everything is about to change for the lovelorn trio. 

Bella and Edward take off on their honeymoon where she is to become a vampire but not before the hilarity of the vampire-mortal wedding night bed destroying love making session. Robert and Kristen's chemistry is apparent and they exude it on the screen. 

14 days have passed since their wedding and Bella discovers that she is pregnant. Not only is it unprecedented but dangerous for Bella as the growing baby takes over her body leaving her at the brink of death. 

Can Edward turn her in time or will he lose his love and his life (the treaty now dissolved with the Wolf pack). 

This movie delivers powerful emotions, powerful scenes and a potent punch in the franchise's pocketbook. Great scenery, phenomenal effects and stellar performances make this movie one not to miss this fall.

WHISTLER BREWHOUSE RESTAURANT REVIEW

Nestled in the beauty and majesty of Whistler British Columbia is an enticing micro-brewery/pub ideally called "The BrewHhouse".  The BrewHouse has 5 locations within the lower Mainland of Vancouver and the Whistler location certainly shines as one of their brilliant stars.

Just walking distance from the famed 'Olympic Plaza', the BrewHouse is a great spot for a quick beer (I suggest trying the Alta Lake Lager) or warming up by the two sided  fireplace and enjoying a leisurely dining experience.  The wooden framed building paired up black and red leather seating gives the pub a definite 'Chalet' feeling and a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Your seating can be as varied as you want with sitting in the pub, restaurant or mezzanine area. You can even catch with news or sports with their television screens as well or enjoy the spirit of youth by following their elevated train circling the BrewHouse.

The menu is diverse with a focus on twisting up 'traditional' favorites like macaroni and cheese and chopped salad. Daily specials are absolutely worth the try, like the 'Patatas Con Carne' (a glorious match up of prime rib, rich gravy, hand made French fries, onions and crimini mushrooms) It's like chilli fries to the max!

For the vegetarians, they have several dishes to choose from with the option of making some of the other dishes meat free. Their chopped salad comes with Genoa salami and smoked ham which can be set aside for a pure vegetarian delight. The salad has romaine lettuce, fancy greens, chick peas, peppers, gruyere cheese and a Dijon vinaigrette that is simply heaven on earth.

With a wide selection of wines from all over the world and of course some amazing BC favorites like Burrowing Owl Winery, it is easy to find a wonderful wine to accompany any of their dishes.

If you have room after their well portioned entrees, they do have something for the sweet tooth as well as coffees. They do have an expanded menu for after 5pm including a succulent prime rib dinner. Whether you dine at the Whistler location or one of the others (Surrey, Richmond, North Vancouver, Yaletown), you won't be disappointed and you won't go home hungry.

In a futuristic society where the Catholic church wields even more power then in previous centuries. The church created 'Priests' that specialized in vampire killing. Based on the graphic novel. Humans are told 'to go against the church is to go against god'.  they are under the guise that the priests have eradicated the vampires until word comes of Priest's brother (portrayed by True Blood's Stephen Moyer) that his wife is dead and his daughter has been kidnapped by a different type of vampire.
