The Host

You wake up and see through eyes that are no longer yours. You hear a voice in you head, that isn't you. And worst of all, that voice talks to you.
This is the setting for Stephenie Meyer's first adult novel The Host.
Planet Earth has been occupied by parasitic aliens that attach themselves to host bodies, meaning us. Melanie Stryder is one of the few humans to survive the invasion until a risky plan to save a loved one sends her into the heart of the beast. She is captured and becomes the host body for the alien Wanderer. But Melanie does not go away lightly. Melanie becomes a nagging presence in her hijackers mind.
The two slowly from a bond to find the one that they both love, Jared. Through this sci-fi love story we learn a lot about perseverance and what it means to be human. Melanie and Wanderer's shared love for Melanie's lost flame, Jared, unites the two unlikely allies.
This is the first Stephenie Meyer book that I have read. I have heard a lot of great things about her Twilight series, so I thought I would give this a try. It has it's ups and downs. The first couple hundred pages are an exciting thrill ride, that mixes past and present in unfolding the story. The middle of the book can be a slow read. Some parts of it had me yearning for the end. However, once the book starts to race towards its somewhat expected ending, the love comes back and you don't want to put it down.
This was a very interesting twist on the whole body-snatchers/alien invasion genre. I thought it was well written and well thought out. There could have been some parts nixed in the final draft, but all in all it is a solid book.
I give this book high B. If it wasn't for some tedious parts in the fat of the book, it would have probably received an A.

The Dark Knight

Before I get started on a review I want to say something. First off, I think Heath Ledger was an absolutely amazing actor. I think he was sometimes underrated. I also think that, this was his best acting performance ever. He was wonderful and he will be missed. With that being said I just want to say that I am not taking his untimely death in to account with this review.
This was not only the best Batman movie to date, but possibly one of the best movies ever. For starters, Christian Bale is hands down the best Batman. He showed us that in Batman Begins and solidified that in this movie. He brings resounding darkness to Bruce Wayne and Batman unlike we have ever seen. Long gone are the days of goofy leather bound heroes and crackpot villains. This movie is powerful and real and it all starts with Bale. This Batman is deep and depressing. The double persona of Bruce Wayne and Batman begins to tear into his soul. Through the course of this movie he realizes the type of "hero" he must become in order to save Gotham.

As aforementioned, Ledger's Joker is stunning. He is also brilliantly terrifying. This Joker is much darker than Nicholson's role in 1989 Batman and Romero's role in the television series. This Joker is an "agent of chaos". He becomes Batman's arch-nemesis by consuming Batman's world in darkness and death. He is a sociopath, who coats himself in clown paint and is here to bring Gotham a "better class of criminal". Initially the Joker wants Batman to come clean with his true identity and he wants him dead, but later he becomes so enamored with the Caped Crusader that he doesn't want to kill him, because he says to him, "you complete me". Ledger is amazing, disturbing, terrifying and fascinating as possibly the best comic book villain of all time. His performance is worth the trip.

Aaron Echkhart really surprised me in his role as District Attorney Harvey Dent. He first allies himself with Batman and Lt. James Gordon (Gary Oldman) in order to bring justice to Gotham. He eventually becomes the disfigured Two-Face in a freak accident. This accompanied by a surprise death forces Harvey Two-Face over the edge. The duality of Two-Face is magnificently portrayed. With his trusty coin handy, Two-Face goes on a vigilante rampage intended to destroy(depending on a flip of the coin) those that have ruined his life.

Once again director Christopher Nolan brings us an amazing story, chock-full of interesting characters and excitement. The writing was amazing. The background and settings were beautiful. The acting was superb. Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman all did an excellent job reprising their roles as Alfred Pennyworth, Lucius Fox and James Gordon, respectively. The only slightly sore spot in the movie was Maggie Gyllenhaal. Not to say Maggie didn't do a good job portraying Rachel Dawes, her acting just wasn't as good as the rest of the cast. Now I know that this was a dynamite cast and the movie was near perfect, so I am not dogging her too badly.
All-in-all this movie was absolutely amazing. I may even go see it again and I never do that. It was almost perfect; we even got a surprise, albeit short, appearance from Scarecrow. If you liked the first one, you will love this one. If you haven't seen the first one, rent it immediately then go see this one. This movie will make you laugh, it will terrify you, it will make you scream a very Keanu Reeves like "whoa". And if you are a Heath Ledger fan, you might even shed a little tear.
I give this movie a very, very outstanding A.

No Air Conditioning = Very Grumpy Household
Imagine yourself taking an ice cold shower at 6 am. Your tired, your grumpy, you definitely do not want to hop into a 40 degree shower. After your shower is over you step out, you immediately start to dry off (because it is 86 degrees in your house). Within minutes you are dry. And then you start to feel a little more dampness on your body. Miss a spot? Nope that's the sweat building up. Keep in mind it is 86 DEGREES!!!
So now within a matter of 20 minutes you go from half asleep/filthy (you did just sleep with no air) to wide awake freezing/somewhat clean to sleepy/filthy again. Thank God it ends today!
I keep telling myself, it will be okay. We have a pre-approved mortgage and we are buying a house within the next 3 months. Everything will be okay. If I can sleep tonight with air I think that murderous crankiness will dissipate.

Hancock is not your parent's super-hero. Hell he isn't even your super-hero. This film is a very interesting take on the super-hero genre; that I found both keen and refreshing.
The story follows John Hancock (Will Smith) a regular Joe with super human abilities and a complete lack of respect for...well respect. We discover that Hancock woke up in a hospital bed some 80 years ago after a crack in the noggin, shattered his skull. Miraculously his skull heals seemingly by itself, but he has a hard case of amnesia. Within a few hours of his regeneration he develops the powers that make him the Hancock of our time; a drunk, under-eager, destructive pinball that has fallen far out of the public's favor.
Will Smith delivers another dynamite performance. He completely becomes the character of John Hancock; a man who is not a man and is hopelessly alone in the crowded world. Smith is magnificent at snatching the essence of the character and making it his own. The lonely Hancock did not smile even once throughout the flick.

Hancock develops his first real relationship when he rescues quirky and pensive PR professional Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman). Embrey is on a quest to save the world, one donated product at a time. Embrey feels that he has stumbled on a feel-good gold mind when Hancock saves his life. Embrey steers his focus to reshaping the public image of the abject super-hero.

Bateman provides a dry comic relief to this sad story of a lonely man. His character helps mold Hancock into the kind of hero the public wants him to be. He takes baby-steps with Hancock, pushing him like no else would dare to.
Embrey's wife Mary, (Charlize Theron) has a very dark opinion of Hancock. She doesn't hide this either. We later learn that she has a little secret of her own, that both progresses the movie and puts an unforeseen twist on its outcome.
And of course as you can see from the picture below, Charlize Theron was smoking hot in this flick.

The movie carries an overall sense of grief and sadness, but it tries very hard to be funny. The first half was actually pretty entertaining. There were a few scenes that were over the top; but what a Will Smith Summer blockbuster be without that?
The second half careens to a much darker side and the turning point will be something you either like or really hate.
The film lacks a central arch nemesis that we normally find in this genre, instead it kind of portrays all the evil in the world as Hancock's villains. The few villains that they try to incorporate for a brief period feel forced. It almost felt as if they threw them in their just to have the feeling of a good vs. evil.
If your in the mood for a pretty decent movie, with really good acting and an interesting story; I would suggest checking this one out. It probably won't be what you expect, but it won't be terribly disappointing either.
I give this film an overall grade of: B
Great acting. Great idea. A little bit of a falter on the story and the portrayal of it.

YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY SUCKS?
I will take a nice warm, moderately comatose shower over an ice picks in my skin, drenched in Mother Nature's Red Bull shower any day.
You know what else sucks? When it's like pulling teeth to get your water heater fixed! Or anything else for that matter. I swear I will never rent again! (For those of you who may not know, Melody and I just got approved for our first mortgage. YAY!)
Ahh, the Rant is off my chest. I feel better now. Happy 4th!
