MOVIE REVIEW CATCH UP: G.I.JOE, THE HOST, BEAUTIFUL CREATURES

So I noticed that I hadn't posted anything new about the movies I've seen in the past couple months, so I thought I would play catch up. Well here is a quick run down & review of what I've been watching the past couple months. SPOILERS A HEAD First up G.I. Joe Retaliation - I saw this in theaters a few weeks or maybe a month ago and while I was so happy there was another installment of the G.I. Joe movies I was shocked to see what they did in this one. First of  no one from the original cast was in the movie with the exception of Channing Tatum, which totally throw me off since the last movie really didn't kill of all the characters. In this version of G.I. Joe almost all the Joe's were wiped out including Tatum's character. Here is where I went mm, why didn't they bring back the original case and kill them off with Tatum? That would have kept things less confusing and it would have flowed better into the rest of the movie. So after the remai...

THE HOST CAN IT BEAT TWILIGHT?

CAN STEPHANIE MEYERS NEXT BOOK TO MOVIE OUT DO THE TWILIGHT SAGA? It's been  almost two months since Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 came out and already we long to have some more Bella and Edward action in our lives. Well tough cookies! The books are done; the movies are over and you think to yourself "now what?" Well don't fear my fellow Twihards. If you are a true Stephanie Meyer fan than you know what's coming. In month plus "The Host" another bestseller from the author that got us addicted to sparkly vampire is scheduled to be in theaters  Like many of my fellow Twilight loving fans we might say there's no Edward in it....Sorry loves not everything can be about our favorite vampire. If you haven't already read it and I am sure that you will after reading this. You will be happy to know like The Twilight Saga there is a love triangle in this book/film. Sure the girls that both the guys love in the book inhabit the same body, but that...

WHAT WILL YOU DO AFTER BREAKING DAWN? END OF THE TWILIGHT ERA

   Do you remember where you were when you first read these words " I'd never given much thought to how I would die"? I know where I was and I know what I was doing ever since. Twilight has been a large part of our lives over the years. Along side some of the great stories out there that have swallowed us up Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Although these books are not in the same league with each other they have played a major part in our lives. Twilight it self has spawned a following of fans that are the most loyal and probably the most crazy out there. But what I am wondering now is what will happened to all the Twihards, TwiMoms, and even the TwiDads & Twiguys out there after the last movie is released in November?    We have all read the books more than once. I myself have read the series over twenty times and at each time I wish that it would never end. But sadly it did end and when I finished reading the books, I at least have the knowle...

ARE YOU A "HOST"?

   So what do you get when you cross the 1993 movie Body Snatchers with Twilight? Give up? You get Stephenie Meyers smash hit The Host.  The Host is about a post colonized earth, where humans are implanted with a parasitic alien life form that erases the human personality and almost instantly takes our their bodies, making it their own. But the book isn't just about aliens seemingly wiping out the human population no its also about the friendship between a parasite (Wanderer) and her host (Melanie). The book gradually guides us through their friendship, and eventually how Wanderer who is later called Wanda in the book and Melanie grow to love each other and how Wanderer grows to love Melanie's family while leaving her own behind.     First of all let me put this out there I am a big fan of the book. I think the story is great as it goes and the ethical and philosophical issues that the characters deal with are ones that make you think. But lets ge...
