Thank you for making the original Cook/Moore "Bedazzled" available in DVD. I watched this movie for the first time in a small town South Carolina drive-in when I was sixteen years old. I had never seen anything like it! This was filmed over forty years ago and I've still never seen anything like it. "Bedazzled" earns shelf-space with a handful of other keepers.

Bedazzled (1967) / Bedazzled (2000) (Double Take)
$19.98
This remake was made back in 2000, and I should have watched it in the theaters because it's very VERY hilarious! Brendan Fraser plays Elliot Richards, a man who doesn't have the nerve to ask a woman out but is desperate in doing so. That's when the Devil comes in. Played by Elizabeth Hurley, the Devil gives him seven wishes, but only if Elliot trades his soul in return. And as Elliot makes his wishes, hilarity ensues. There are tons of sight gags and some wordplay going around, and they made me laugh numerous times. Hurley was a surprise as Satan himself: she acts with charisma and wit, and her English accent adds to the much sophisticated appearance. Fraser always does well in comedies, and here he gives his usual great performance. I haven't seen the original 1967 version yet, but when I get the chance, I hope it's as funny and heartwarming as the remake.

Bedazzled: A Book About Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight Phenomenon
$11.95
First, DISREGARD the five-star rating. There is no way to review a book and give it a neutral rating, which is the only fair option for an author who is going to tell you about the book.

Since there's (currently) no copy whatsoever about the book, let me simply tell you what the book is, so you can make up your own mind.

Truth in advertising: I also wrote a guidebook to Forks called TWILIGHT TOURS, written and photographed with the cooperation of the Forks Chamber of Commerce, notably Mike Gurling whose proofread the text and provided many of its wonderful photos, including the cover shot.

This is a companion-style book -- of which I've written several, on pop culture writers -- that covers a lot of ground. New and veteran readers will find a wealth of information, including a chronology of Meyer's life, an interview with Meyer conducted by an Arizona journalist (the longest and best interview conducted to date), my favorite quotations spoken or written by Meyer, an alphabetical listing of the people, places and things that are important in Meyer's life (to which she refers in interviews and profiles), original essays about Bella, Edward, and the Cullen family, an overview of The Twilight Saga (supplementing Meyer's own encyclopedia to come), a tip on where to find "extras, outtakes and remixes" that she wrote, in addition to private correspondence made public with her permission on a fan website, coverage of the key press conferences in 2008 and 2009 at the San Diego Comicon at which Stephenie Meyer, the principal cast of TWILIGHT and NEW MOON, and NEW MOON film director Chris Weitz shared their thoughts with the assembled fans, information about Stephenie Meyer Day in Forks, Washington, information about all the Twilight conventions worldwide, helpful hints to young writers wanting to follow in Meyer's footsteps and get their own books published, favorite slogans on t-shirts from Cafe Press and Zazzle, in-depth coverage of the Twilight movies, profiles on Pattinson, Stewart, and Lautner; I also include the most detailed list of resources available to Twilighters: books, audiobooks, tie-in books, critical texts, biographical books, forthcoming books, websites (pro and fan, official and unofficial), and a lengthy section about tourism in Forks and the Pacific Northwest. The book closes with an essay titled "Stephenie Meyer's Brave Girls," in which I write about Meyer's lasting legacy: the inspiration she has provided young girls, whom she termed "brave," at a public talk at the National Book Festival in 2006.

My book does not replace Meyer's forthcoming THE TWILIGHT SAGA: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE--my book supplements hers, which is by intent. My book has approximately 50 photos and artwork by veteran Disney artist Tim Kirk, as well. (Of what good is a book without pictures in it?)

If you're looking for a book as a gift to a Twilight fan of any age, this book will--like my other companion-style books--offer a wealth of information available nowhere else between two covers. It's a companion-style book that was intended to surprise and delight readers, just as, in its writing, it surprised and delighted me.
