The Host

     From the Twilight Saga's author, Stephenie Meyer, comes The Host. The story of The Host starts with an alien species erasing minds to inhabiting human bodies. There are very few humans left with uninhabited bodies, and these people make up the "resistance". We meet our main character, Melanie Strider, straight away. Melanie, part of the resistance,  is taken over by a member of the foreign race called Wanderer or as later renamed, Wanda. Wanda is being used by the "Seekers" to find the location of the resistance. Or "Rebel Base" if you will. Before the seekers can find out too much about the resistance, Melanie's spirit starts rebelling from within. A while after Melanie starts resisting from within, she convinces Wanda to take her to the "rebel base" so she can make sure her little brother, Jamie, and her lover Jared are still safe.


     I absolutely loved this movie! I am going to give The Host a POP!!! The film directed by Andrew Niccol, had an absolutely amazing cast! The actress playing Melanie/Wanda is Irish actress Saoirse Ronan. I haven't personally seen any of her movies, however she is featured in many films such as, Hanna, Atonement, The Lovely Bones and The Way Back. Some of the other amazing actors included, Max Irons (Red Riding Hood, Being Julia, and Dorian Gray), Jake Abel (Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, I am Number Four, The Lovely Bones), Diane Kruger (National Treasure, Troy, Unknown) as the Seeker, and William Hurt (The Incredible Hulk, Into the Wild, Dark City) as Uncle Jed.
    

     On top of the amazing cast, the screenplay by Andrew Niccol and Stephenie Meyer was amazing, and very close to the story line in the novel. I think that this is an amazing production and that many people will enjoy it. Yes, it comes from the author of the Twilight Saga, but it is very different from the Twilight stories. So even if you didn't enjoy the Twilight series, I think that you would really enjoy this movie.

Let me know what you think of this movie! Also I would love some feedback on the overall blog!!
