If you have not seen the first movie of the Twilight Series, Twilight, then you are missing out on a great show!  I recemmend reading the book first, because there are some slight differences in that and the movie, but mainly because you will have a deeper appreciation for the movie.  The casting is perfect  - Edward and Bella are exactly like I pictured them to be from reading the book. 

The movie, like the book, is unlike anything I have ever seen.  There have been a lot of spin-off vampire shows, books and movies, but nothing beats Twilight.  It is very suspensful, but not totally weird. ...
