Synopsis
In the second chapter of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling Twilight series, the romance between mortal Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) grows more intense as ancient secrets threaten to destroy them. When Edward leaves in an effort to keep Bella safe, she tests fate in increasingly reckless ways in order to glimpse her love once more. But when she's saved from the brink by her friend, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), Bella will uncover mysteries of the supernatural world that will put her in more peril than ever before.

You may also be interested in a Roku Roku HD or HDXR player, which would hook up to your TV and the internet. If you pick up one of these by the end of the month, Amazon is tossing in $20 in credits to use in the Video on Demand store:
To take advantage of this special offer, add a Roku HD or HD-XR player to your cart and after shipment of your Roku HD or HD-XR player, you will receive an email that includes a digital code that can be used to redeem up to $20.00 worth of eligible digitally formatted shows and movies from Amazon Video On Demand, along with instructions on how to redeem.
I don't have one of these, but do watch some VOD shows using my computer and a connection to my TV. It would be nice to have a more dedicated box, though, so the wires only had to be set up once.
