Movie Review: The Host

For me, it always important to keep some extra DVDs that I haven’t seen around so just in case I was extra bored or sick I can watch something fun. So being sick and bored was the case with this movie. 

The Host is bases on the novel written by the Twilight writer, Stephenie Meyer and that made me skeptical, because I never liked the Twilight saga. (Why I hate Twilight is for another review :p)

So the story is set in the future when a race of parasite kind of aliens takes over Earth and only a group of humans survived the attack. As she was running away from the possessed humans, Melanie Stryder (Saoirse Ronan) is captured and her body became the host of one of the aliens. As the alien, The Wanderer, get used to the human body, Melanie resist and they both end up running away from the alien seekers.

At the beginning I thought that the movie was going to be lame. It took me a while to get used to Melanie talking in the Wanderer’s head. Also the script was a bit weak and clichéd, but the movie is not after an Oscar so it’s fine.  

The more I watched it, the better it was, especially when the Wanderer found Melanie’s family hiding with a group of humans in a huge series of caves. The caves were a beautiful setting; the earth colors in the cloths and equipment they used gave the movie its own theme.

There’s not much else to talk about this movie. It’s one of those you watch once; you enjoy it and move on. It’s for the Young Adult genre fans, like me. Even though I loved other movies like, The Covenant better, but that’s ‘cause I have a deep love for Magic!  I loved also I Am Number Four.

Well, that’s all I have to say! Till my next review!

Movie Review: I am Number Four

Every year if you had noticed, dear reader we have one sci-fi/fantasy movie that is just pure entertainment. We had movies like "The Covenant", "Jumper" "Push" and many more.

"I am Number Four" for me is one of the best made!!! The idea is so fun and exciting!! About a cute alien (Alex Pettyfer) who lives in Earth (See Spielberg, cute aliens are good too :p). The movie is so sweet and it always gets my heart tingle!!! I have the DVD and saw it so many times already!!!

It has romance, super powers, cute couples, villains and some amaaazing fight scenes! It's a really 'feel good' kind of a movie!!!

The way it was filmed was so good. I saw it this time in HD and the colors were stunning!! Especially the fight scenes where you find the clashing of blue and red flames. It was pure visual powers!!! The way they moved and fought, you can tell, it's not HUMAN!!! It was wicked!! Ooh and when John (The main character) received his "Legacy" it was thrilling!!

What I also liked about the movie is the story of this guy who just wants to settle down and have a normal life (though I never got that cliché. I mean, hello!! You have super power!!) Anyhow, but John never said it, but you can see it in his attitude and the cutest scene when he saw where Sarah (Dianna Agron) lived. His eyes sparkled like a little child. He wanted that beautiful simple house with the cheezy kind parents. It's hard to not only change location but also names and personal history. I always get attached to movies that have genuine stories like this one.

I loved, LOVED Henry (Timothy Olyphant) in the movie. He's a true warrior <3 <3.  My favorite line was when he told John: "We don't love like humans, we love forever. We never forget". Oh, My, God!! Call me mooshy, but I can't help fell in love with this character since you seriously rarely can find like him in this planet. I'm thinking of moving to another galaxy :p seriously *sigh*.

I really wish there's a sequal!! And better yet, I wish I was a number!!!!
