Andrew Niccol directs this science fiction romance adapted from the
novel by Stephenie Meyer, creator of 'The Twilight Saga'. An alien
race has begun colonising Earth by taking over human bodies and
erasing their minds and memories and only a small band of survivors
remain who are working to protect themselves from extinction. One
of them is Melanie Stryder (Saoirse Ronan), who, when out on a
search for food, meets another human being named Jared Howe (Max
Irons) and it isn't long before they begin to develop feelings for
one another. However, when Melanie is taken by the alien species
and is made host to one of their own, it seems all hope is lost.
That is, until Melanie's mind begins to fight back against her new
inhabitor and her human emotions and memories ignite some empathy
in the alien parasite.
This is a new release of the original 1934 edition.

"It's the Journey that Counts" begins the story of a young Air
Corps Lieutenant and his wartime bride. The two are separated
during World War II when he sets sail on the USS Joseph T. Dickman
as part of a large military convoy. Bound for a destination
unknown, he and four special friends will participate in the
best-kept secret in modern warfare, the African Invasion. Of the
five men, only the writer's husband will return.Later, widowed at
fifty and left with two minor children and no permanent home, the
writer experiences feelings of inadequacy and trepidation. A good
life will follow, but satisfactory answers never seem clear to the
nagging and persistent "whys" of life.At age seventy she returns to
her Alma Mater, a highly structured woman's college in the Deep
South, to celebrate the 50th Anniversary for her class of 1942.
When the weekend brings unusual encounters with aging friends, a
unique perspective of life's history begins to unfold. Only then
does she accept the fact that the "whys" of life may never be
satisfactorily answered: yet life, like her mother's quilt tops,
may likely reveal the greatest warmth and coziness with the final
quilting.
