Male Twi-Hard Reviews the 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1' DVD
Summit
Before getting into my take on "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" DVD, let's review what we already know about the film. 1) Bella and Edward totally do it. 2) I thought I saw a nip slip. 3) It is the lowest reviewed "Twilight" film on Rotten Tomatoes. 4) Peter Facinelli awkwardly autographed my copy of the DVD.
Great, now that we're all on the same page, let's get into what I thought about and learned from the bonus features and repeated viewings of movie.

Cillian Murphy Demands Your Time in Exclusive 'In Time' Deleted Scene
Roger Daltrey used to wish that "I hope I die before I get old." His wish would have been granted in the Justin Timberlake futuristic sci-fi movie "In Time," in which everyone older than 25 dies unless they can buy time, which has become the new commodity. ("Buy time"? Get it?)
In this exclusive deleted scene from the movie, Cillian Murphy slips on the villain mask once again to play timekeeper Raymond Leon, a cop who chases down stolen time. Here, he questions a woman over the suspicious amount of time she's displaying. "It was a gift," she tells the dubious Murphy, proving that time, indeed, is on her side.
