Movie Review - The Host

This movie was fantastic.  There were many bits that I was looking forward to (that were in the book) that just weren't in the movie but it was still great.  Not to mention the soundtrack, I loved the music.

The actors weren't exactly what I had imagined them to be however, they did a good job and grew on me almost immediately, especially Burns Living Flowers (or Burns) who was at the very end of the movie.  For some reason it is taking a really long time to find out what the actors name is.  His part may have been small, but he nailed it.  I really hope they come out with a second movie (or book, I'm not picky) soon.

I must warn you, this movie is a tearjerker.   So much more so than the book.  In fact, I don't recall crying much or at all while reading the book.  

Just to clarify, this is no Twilight!  It may be a love story, but that's were the similarities end.

Upcoming Movies #3 (The Host)

The Host is another adaption of a book written by Stephenie Meyer.  I honestly hope it will be good because for the most part I liked it.  The concept that the Earth is invaded by aliens is not new in any sense but not many have ventured far into the Earth already having been taken over from the beginning.  I suppose we just don't want so see ourselves as a hopeless case.

Plus, there is the added aspect that people are more peaceful when we are not ourselves.  If you think about it, human kind is violent and selfish at its core.  It's in our very nature to think of ourselves above others.  We obsess over any heroic act because there aren't many people that act truly heroic.
