The Host

Starring: Saoirse Ronan, William Hurt, Diane Kruger

Directed by Andrew Niccol

Rated PG-13

Because of a little series of books called Twilight, Stephenie Meyer, the author of those books, has enjoyed success not only in the literary world (but only because of sales, not accolades) but in the film world as well.  Just in case you’ve just now crawled out of your bomb shelter you holed up in due to the YK2 panic, these Twilight books were turned into a massively successful film franchise (again, only in terms of dollars, not accolades).  The franchise, seemingly hated on by everyone, but seen by most everyone (myself included) launched Stephenie Meyer into the stratosphere and now it seems that everyone in Hollywood wants to get in on the action.   The problem is, Twilight was lighting in a bottle and Meyers isn’t that good of a writer.

In a pre-Oscars interview with HipHollywood, Zoe Saldana responded to the backlash that resulted when she took the role of Nina Simone in the upcoming biopic Nina, replacing R&B star Mary J. Blige. 

"What keeps me focused and what kept me from getting stressed from being hurt by the comments is I'm doing it for my sisters, I'm doing it for my brothers, and I don't care who tells me I am not this and I am not that," the Star Trek actress said. "I know who I am, »

Right so Oscars.

Only in Hollywood can winning the highest acclaimed award in your chosen field actually be a bad thing for your career.

I’m going to mention actors who are loved, that have been apart our lives since we can remember. From the kidnappings, the murders, the weight gains, the whole shaabang… Not forgetting of course actors who even Hayden Christensen could out act, but before I begin, I want to make this clear… Like Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, this doesn’t mean some of these winners weren’t great, it doesn’t mean they still can’t be great, this just means that they haven’t been great for a long while.

5. Al Pacino

Don Michael Corleone, John Milton,  Carlito ‘Charlie’ Brigante, Big Boy Caprice – the list goes on.

This is Al Pacino: The man, the actors actor, a guy who’s voice feels like Zeus judging »

Looking for something to fill the void Twilight has left behind  and The Hunger Games just won’t fill you up? Well, The Host may well fill you up, its the latest book to movie adaptation, with Stephenie Meyer (Missus Twilight) behind the book. Andrew Niccol (In Time, Lord Of war, S1m0ne) is on the directorial comeback trail, as this is only the second movie hes directed since 2005 (In Time being his most recent). But he’s got a really solid track record (I rather like S1m0ne) and no doubt Meyer knows how to work her audience. We’ve just been sent the latest banners for The Host and besides them reminding me of Heroes, they look rather decent, steamy and possibly a bit too futuristic (even though its set in the future). Anyway…. Synopsis: From Stephenie Meyer (author of The Twilight Saga) comes The Host, a love story set in the future, »
