![]() ![]() “I was not surprised at the negative reviews or the haters that surface every time a book or a movie with Stephenie Meyer’s name attached to it comes out. Lizzie commented on this post and what she said stood out for me: Is it associating Stephenie Meyer and Twilight with it? Is it the subject matter of aliens? Is it just a bad job at promoting it? Or is just a really bad movie? I am still stumped at all the overwhelming negative reviews. I really don’t know what happened with this movie. Of course, Stephenie Meyer still has not finished writing the second novel, so that complicates matters further. The hordes who swarmed the film adaptations of Meyer’s Twilight saga apparently did not find a romance about a parasitic alien nearly as compelling because they did not show up at the cineplex last weekend.” “A spokeswoman for The Host says information regarding the probability of a sequel “is not available at this time,” but the film’s dismal opening weekend does not bode well for a follow-up. ![]() I am wondering if it will drop out of the top ten this weekend completely. According to Box Office Mojo, it is sitting at over $24 million right now total with six days of release so far. Based on both international and domestic box office results, the film has not made back its $40 million budget. The girls at Strictly Robsten tipped us on an article published today at Movieline (source) addressing the issue if there will be a sequel to The Host movie. ![]()

I didn't get a good picture of my Black Lady, a dummy strung up on a pole, before one of my teenage helpers roughed her up a little too much, so she's a little saggy-baggy in this photo. Toward the end, guests spotted the Black Lady, source of the Shadow Plague, by a tar pit (our trampoline) with long black lines extending out from her across our big lawn and headed toward them. This effect didn't work out quite as well as I would have liked, and I didn't get a good photo of it. ![]() Guests then had to walk past our (empty) swimming pool and risk getting grabbed by a naiad. ![]() I recorded a soundtrack for the tiny battle going on, that I filled with high-pitched voices, bugle horns, and sword clash sounds.

The Mariner is surrounded by the dead Sailors and cursed continuously by their gaze when he notices beautiful Water Snakes swimming beside the ship. After Life-in-Death wins the soul of the Mariner, the Sailors begin to die of thirst, falling to the deck one by one, each staring at the Mariner in reproach. On its deck, Death and Life-in-Death gamble with dice for the lives of the Sailors and the Mariner. But the joy fades as the ghostly ship, which sails without wind, approaches. In this terrible calm, trapped completely by the watery ocean that they cannot drink, when the Mariner sees what he believes is a ship approaching, he alerts the crew, who all grin out of joy.

Going into this book, I thought maybe it would be more about Henry and Beezus planning stuff together, or getting into trouble together, but more often than not, Beezus just happened to be there, or she - and Ramona - tagged along while Henry resigned himself to their company, or at best was indifferent. Scooter McCarthy is probably mentioned more often than Beezus, though Henry's relationship with Scooter is kind of about friendly one-upmanship, and perhaps not title-worthy. ![]() The book it titled Henry and Beezus, and Beezus does have a nice supporting role, but their relationship wasn't exactly a focal point, like the way the relationship between Beezus and Ramona was a central concern in Beezus and Ramona. Isabelle emphatically wanted to give this book 5 stars, and I probably would have given it 4 stars, so I'm compromising with 4 1/2. *** Warning: This review contains spoilers! *** ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Grace Sheridan comes back to Los Angeles so she can be a working actress, it is a second chance at her life long dream.
