Rant of the Day

“The Host” opens this weekend. It’s times like these (when Stephenie Meyer releases a movie) that movie reviews become hilarious. 

Via Rotten Tomatoes:

“Director Andrew Niccol is completely unable to add any depth or elegance to Meyer’s pedestrian storytelling and thin characters. We can only presume that those aliens have already gotten hold of his body already.”

“Invasion 
of the 
time-wasters: ‘Host’ alienates audience.”

“Make no mistake, The Host is a bad movie, but it’s the kind of bad movie that’s almost compulsively watchable if only to see how much worse it could possibly get.”

“Meyer has concocted an extremely silly story made worse by Andrew Niccol’s ponderous, self-important adaptation.”

p.s. Critics take note. She’s still gonna sell a gazillion books and movie tickets and DVDs.
