Czy jego ukochana faktycznie romansowała z jego lekarzem, czy to wytwór jego chorej wyobrażni? Dlaczego lekarz zostawił mu brzytwę? By go sprowokować?Film nie buduje warstwy psychologicznej postaci, albo bohaterowie tak zagrali, że nic z tego nie wynika. Chociaż pewne minimalne napięcie jest. Zawsze uważałam, że Robert P jest fenomenalny jako model, ale aktor z niego kiepski. Na ogół wszędzie gra &amp;quot;zmierzchowo&amp;quot;, choć próbuje odciąć się od roli boskiego wampira na wszelkie możliwe sposoby, biorąc różne role. W tym filmie podobał mi się średnio, choć widziałam go w gorszych wcieleniach aktorskich.Zapewne narażam sie  w tej chwili nastoletnim fankom Roberta, ale cóż, jest on głównie... przystojny!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2852855824745000395/4765279921564941291/comments/default/3425572455657497834'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2852855824745000395/4765279921564941291/comments/default/3425572455657497834'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://melissapetreshockwrites.blogspot.com/2010/01/movie-review-haunted-airman.html?showComment=1312654315619#c3425572455657497834' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://melissapetreshockwrites.blogspot.com/2010/01/movie-review-haunted-airman.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852855824745000395.post-4765279921564941291' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2852855824745000395/posts/default/4765279921564941291' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-207427824'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.displayTime' value='Saturday, August 06, 2011'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852855824745000395.post-7761346578685742902</id><published>2010-01-29T15:09:28.754-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-29T15:09:28.754-08:00</updated><title type='text'>DO IT...</title><content type='html'>DO IT...</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2852855824745000395/4239691860453176945/comments/default/7761346578685742902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2852855824745000395/4239691860453176945/comments/default/7761346578685742902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://melissapetreshockwrites.blogspot.com/2010/01/writers-digest-annual-writing.html?showComment=1264806568754#c7761346578685742902' title=''/><author><name>Annalisa Brower</name><uri>http://annalisabrower.wordpress.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://melissapetreshockwrites.blogspot.com/2010/01/writers-digest-annual-writing.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852855824745000395.post-4239691860453176945' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2852855824745000395/posts/default/4239691860453176945' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1632491327'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.displayTime' value='Friday, January 29, 2010'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852855824745000395.post-5857706660767420432</id><published>2010-01-29T14:08:01.525-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-29T14:08:01.525-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Think of it this way, if you don&amp;#39;t spend the $...</title><content type='html'>Think of it this way, if you don&amp;#39;t spend the $20, then you are guarantteed that you will absolutely NOT get to go to New York and you will NOT get to meet those editors.

I&amp;#39;d like to learn more about your writing as Young Adult is a genre I&amp;#39;m not familiar with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ll let you know when that blog glitch is corrected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you have a sparkling weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marion</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2852855824745000395/4408993324004714895/comments/default/7017098333206689555'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2852855824745000395/4408993324004714895/comments/default/7017098333206689555'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://melissapetreshockwrites.blogspot.com/2009/08/hospitals-book-2-libraries-titles.html?showComment=1250897120589#c7017098333206689555' title=''/><author><name>Marion Marchetto</name><uri>http://www.marionmarchetto.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://melissapetreshockwrites.blogspot.com/2009/08/hospitals-book-2-libraries-titles.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852855824745000395.post-4408993324004714895' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2852855824745000395/posts/default/4408993324004714895' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1504377618'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.displayTime' value='Friday, August 21, 2009'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852855824745000395.post-1100614124399008590</id><published>2009-08-21T13:29:39.609-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-21T13:29:39.609-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Thank you, Marion.

I&amp;#39;ve been posting excerpts since I copyrighted my work and hope I haven&amp;#39;t given too much away. My idea has been to give enough away to make people want the full story with all the details. I don&amp;#39;t plan to post any excerpts from the final chapter so they don&amp;#39;t know how it turns out until they read the published book (whenever that may be).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked at your website and thought it was beautifully done. My only disappointment would be that there was not a comment section on your blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I added myself as a fan on your Facebook page and plan to check at my local library for your work. It sounds interesting and I&amp;#39;d love to read it.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2852855824745000395/4408993324004714895/comments/default/1100614124399008590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2852855824745000395/4408993324004714895/comments/default/1100614124399008590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://melissapetreshockwrites.blogspot.com/2009/08/hospitals-book-2-libraries-titles.html?showComment=1250886579609#c1100614124399008590' title=''/><author><name>Melissa Petreshock</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12748770065387721818</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xS3ylwnqo-8/SkqxSZvk3rI/AAAAAAAAA-M/hckb1HXAqQ8/S220/DSC01542.JPG'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://melissapetreshockwrites.blogspot.com/2009/08/hospitals-book-2-libraries-titles.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852855824745000395.post-4408993324004714895' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2852855824745000395/posts/default/4408993324004714895' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-479476670'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.displayTime' value='Friday, August 21, 2009'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852855824745000395.post-2948732067351543399</id><published>2009-08-21T12:44:00.703-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-21T12:44:00.703-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Loved your excerpt.

But just as a caution, since you&amp;#39;re unpublished, don&amp;#39;t give too much of your story away in your blogs. You want to entice future readers into buying your book and into wanting to know more about your characters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I don&amp;#39;t know the backstory of your characters it was a bit confusing for me at the outset of the excerpt, but after reading about half I was hooked.
