The Host

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

Anyone see this one yet?

No where in sight where I am. I KNEW I should have seen it while in San Fran. this past week. :mad:

yeah. i couldn't wait for the release so i bought the HK dvd on the street. it's an odd mix of monster, horror, family drama, and social satire. i'm not sure if it fully works, but i have to see it again. i feel there's some specifically Korean angst that is supposed to come through, which i am not catching. it also probably would've been clearer on the big screen.

the monster is the highlight for me.

This movie had really been trumped up for me and then I when I saw the film is was quite apt to how kid cue described the film. I wish it had been more of a monster film and contained less digressions into some of the other genres like family drama and social satire. I wish it would've been more straight forward monster-scare-film.

Just watched the monster's first rampage in the park and it was pretty awesome.;)

I read a rave review about this a while back so I downloaded it, but haven't had a chance to watch yet...

I thought it was overrated but I did fully enjoy it. Just don't buy into the hype too much...

avoid the hype at all cost.

watch the film if you must.

I'd say find a nice download of the monster's park romp and be done with it. The rest of the movie was kinda lame and not at all about the creature really.;)

[King of Snake]

ok finally saw this last night and I was kinda dissapointed. I felt it was really trying to be too many things without doing anything especially well. It also really drags on in the middle although when the action finally starts at the end it's pretty decent.
There was also absolutely nothing scary at all in this film. In fact it felt more like a comedy in most places (why did people keep falling over?).
