Stephenie Meyer’s post-Twilight film The Host is a highly ambitious sci-fi yarn. It’s the tale of an alien invasion, a benign one at that, and as much as there is the potential to be a great story about rebellion and survival it’s really about life in the aftermath of said invasion. In short, they’ve won so what story is there to tell? It has a complex set-up/backstory, one with fantastically grand world-building yet we only see a very small portion of it. So how can that be engaging? Enter Andrew Niccol, director of equally simple sci-fi films like Gattaca and In Time. Here he lends his visually simple but elegant creative muscle to Meyer’s story and…

G-S-T Review…The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2
Brace yourselves Twilight fans, it all comes down to this. No more brooding, no more long awkward affectionate stares or lip-biting. This final installment gives fans the climactic showdown between the Cullens and Volturi they’ve been patiently waiting for (well, kind of). Suffice to say nothing in the series has been more thrilling or satisfying than this. This final installment also finds Bella, with baby in tow, joining the Cullen clan in the way she believed herself born to live, as a full on vampire. There’s less focus on Bella’s former life (sorry fans no Anna Kendrick and co here) as the story moved with long strides to meet, head on, the Volturi…

Trailer…'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2'
Every saga has its end, and aside from Christopher Nolan’s final Batman film, Twilight’s sunset is imminent (let’s forget about the reboot rumors for now shall we). Likened to Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill and the final Harry Potter film, apparently there was just too much juicy brooding and lip biting in the Breaking Dawn book that it needed to be told in two parts. So here we are with the first full trailer for the second half of the last Twilight film…did I go too fast for anyone? Behold, Edward, Bella and Jacob’s final hurrah. In this film, Bella and Edward’s daughter Renesmee is misidentified as an “immortal child” which leads the Cullens…

Teaser Trailer…'The Host'
Now that the saga of the Cullens is breaking dawn, I mean winding down (and we’re not going to see The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner on the big screen) what will fans of Stephanie Meyer do? Well there’s always fan-fiction and aside from reading/watching the series again and again, they can start getting excited about Meyer’s other fairly popular novel The Host. Going for a sci-fi angle this time, Meyer’s story is about an alien invasion and focuses on one of the last humans who chooses to fight back. Not much to it but it’s got an interesting premise. Have a look… The Host stars Saoirse Ronan as Melanie Stryder the girl who takes a…
