The Host
January 28, 2015
Posted by on
Alien body snatchers called Souls invade Earth possessing nearly all humans. A few humans are able to resist and even fight back. One Soul possesses a young woman named Melanie Stryder and meets strong resistance. Over time the relationship between Melanie and the Soul, that calls itself Wanderer, possessing her becomes cooperative and even friendly. As Wanderer learns more about humanity it’s attitude changes.
This movie is based on a book by Stephanie Meyer who also wrote the Twilight series. The movie is done really well. I have not yet read the book so I cannot say how well the movie follows it. I suspect not everyone will be happy with the alien body snatchers being referred to as Souls. The vehicles with chrome-like exteriors were kinda cool. There are some great sports cars in the movie especially the Lotus. I also like the Unimogs. I enjoyed this movie.

When Aliens Attack
November 22, 2014
Posted by on When Aliens Attack is a National Geographic movie that outlines what might happen if Aliens arrived and decided they wanted to take ownership of the Earth or plunder the Earth for resources. Actual scientists theorize what might happen and the steps mankind might have to take to ensure survival.
Although at first glance this topic seems pretty silly they make a reasonable case for the possibility this could happen. I suppose it is reasonable to think the topic through even if you only do so for mental exercise.
This movie was actually well done and I enjoyed it. I found it thought provoking and informative too.
Available on Netflix, YouTube, National Geographic Website, Amazon Instant Video, Discovery Channel UK,
