Discovering Kristen, v1.10

Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2012)

For me, Twilight series is easy to under-appreciate.
My comment re Twilight 1 relates to the movie series and my comment re Twilight 2 relates more to my experiences of the novels. This relates to the movie series leading to me discovering Kristen as an actress.
I discovered the Twilight Saga because some episodes include Dakota.
A lot of Kristen's stuff is available in affordable, to me, second hand copies and that allowed me to spend several months getting to know her other stuff. It includes a lot that is really okay.
Eclipse commentary mentions a film that K S and Jodelle Ferland had both acted in. I had to try to get that and it was available as a relatively low cost second hand blu-ray. K S has the lead and I found this to be one of her best movies. I preferred it to Twilight Saga 1, but now consider them both to be good but different.
This made me discover more and I found that I already had two on DVD, features that I had considered as memorable. K S was starting to seem to be rather hot. It was definitely not my early reaction to the Twilight series that showed me that but The Messengers and Panic Room and Zathura.
The other stories seem to mostly have some common elements, with the possible exception of Jumper, where K S appears at the end in a minimal role, as if a cameo appearance. Of these I currently prefer Fierce People and The Safety Of Objects and Cold Creek Manor and Mission Without Permission and In The Land Of Women and The Cake Eaters and Snow White And The Huntsman, but that is just personal taste. Also the difficult Adventureland and The Runaways, easy to follow stories that pose difficult questions re how a storyteller needs to describe real realities.
