Win a Volvo XC60 just like Edward's in The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Posted by Team Boxwish about 6 hours ago
Last year, Volvo failed to cash in on the promotional platform offered to them with Twilight, but this year with the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, they haven’t missed a trick. In the first big screen instalment of the Stephenie Meyer saga, the Swedish car company were featured as Edward (Robert Pattinson) raced around the roads of Forks and Port Angeles in a Volvo C30 coupe and now he’s traded that in and instead sits behind the wheel in his new XC60. And not only have Volvo unleashed a big advertising campaign that ties in with the movie (the slogan reading, “Come and see what drives Edward”), but they’re also offering the chance to win a free XC60 so you can enjoy Edward’s car.

Kohl's department store taps into Twilight fashion trends
Posted by Team Boxwish about 8 hours ago
Hot Topic is at it, so is Nordstrom and now Kohl’s is too. The US department store has jumped aboard the Twilight bandwagon, playing up the connection between their fashions and those seen onscreen in The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Unlike the other two shops, there’s no official link between Kohl’s and The Twilight Saga, but that isn’t stopping them as they try to appeal to us Twifans, angling to become a shopping destination to create Twilight-inspired looks. Don’t they know that’s our job here at Boxwish!

Vatican speaks out against The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Posted by Team Boxwish about 10 hours ago
File this one under “no, you don’t say” as apparently the Vatican is upset with The Twilight Saga: New Moon. After expressing disapproval at the Harry Potter books and films and likewise the Dan Brown efforts, The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, the Catholic Church has now taken offense at the latest instalment of the Stephenie Meyer saga. Interesting that there was no need to grumble the first time around, when Twilight hit cinemas last year or even when the books were first published. But now that it’s a global phenomenon, there’s reason to get a bit uppity. Brace yourselves, here we go again…

Merchandise swag: The Twilight Saga: New Moon Edward Cullen umbrella
Posted by Team Boxwish about 11 hours ago
Today is the day Twifans. Or indeed, very early this morning was if you went to one of the midnight screenings. Yes, The Twilight Saga: New Moon is now surely showing around the clock at your local cinema and so after about a year of waiting, the second instalment of life in Forks with Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) is with us! And as usual, we’re loving it all here at Boxwish, enough to brave the elements to venture out to see it. But there’s no reason why when stepping out in the rain (torrential rain that has dogged Britain for days now), that you shouldn’t do so in Twilight style. Introducing the Edward umbrella – the answer to all your Cullen climate conundrums!

Gerard Butler named favourite Hollywood Brit
Posted by Team Boxwish about 12 hours ago
Just recently Robert Pattinson (you know him? He’s some fella in some film about vampires or something) lamented the lack of acting jobs in the UK, explaining that’s why so many Brits head to Hollywood for work. And boy, he’s certainly right. Tinseltown is chokers with UK talent, both in front of the camera and behind, men and women and character actors as well as top leading lights. And so with this wealth of home-grown stars, online rental giant LOVEFiLM has asked their subscribers to vote for their top British actor and coming out on top is none other than Scottish beef-cake, Gerard Butler. Yup, the Paisley-born actor has channelled his sparkly-eyed charm into both boys favourites like 300, Unlawful Citizen (pictured) and RocknRolla and more female-friendly fare like The Ugly Truth and P.S. I Love You and it’s obviously worked well for him. But who did he beat in the poll? Click over to find out.

Steal Jacob's look: His hair secrets from The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Posted by Team Boxwish 1 day ago
There are so many possible divisions in The Twilight Saga. Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? A fan of the Cullens or do you prefer the wolf pack? And on a more light-hearted note, do you prefer Jacob (Taylor Lautner) with long hair or short? It’s a debate that has split fans of the young Native American who befriends Bella (Kristen Stewart) and proves a love rival to Edward (Robert Pattinson). Some Twifans love him with his long glossy black locks, for others the shorter, spikier cut he introduces in The Twilight Saga: New Moon works better, but the decision to send Jacob to the barber’s was one of the few decisions not down to key hairstylist Thom McIntyre. The snip is noted in the Stephenie Meyer book, heightening the physical transformation of Jacob from young teen into a muscular young man and so it was case of making this happen onscreen.
