Check out this clip! It goes 7 minutes but tell me it don't look exciting as hell! Made in south Korea I guess. Asian monster films are looking better these days.
I have not seen it yet because all the copies are out at my local Blockbuster.
Called "The Host". Has anyone here seen this?

Ive seen it,and I really liked it.But here are a few things you should know:
The story is not a conventional Monster movie plotline.It features a strangely disfunctional family,and some heavy political undertones in which the U.S. does not fare well,IMHO.But you have to give the filmakers credit for going in a new and very interesting direction with a familiar genre.

Very cool. I gotta get that one. I did notice there weren't any jet planes with bic lighters for power. :D

Thanks Jimmy, for the heads up. I'll keep an open mind then when I get a chance to see it. I love a good monster movie! I hope it is in stock this weekend.

Took me a few seconds to get that!:D

Excellent movie, but 2duals is correct, nNot a standard monster movie plot. Bought it on DVD when it first came out based on reviews alone, something I rarely do, and it was worth it.

Oddly, I like Korean movies and love monster movies, but I really didn't care for this.

I had heard great things about this and was pleased when I got to see it and yet I thought it SUCKED go figure

WOW! That looks like a cool movie. Will have to locate and get a copy of that.
Thanks for the link.

It looked good, probably really good in the original language.

I looked for it, 14 bucks, I ordered it.

He Heeeeee!

I got a copy of this dvd off the bay for $0.99 plus $5.00 shipping. OK, for $6.00 used, I didn't steal it, but I don't like to steal things that I don't know about anyway.

Sooo, looking forward to viewing the whole thing.

:smoke: :beer:

I still have'nt been able to rent it. Maybe THIS weekend!

("Cloverfield" due out soon on DVD....have not seen that yet either.)

Cloverfield arrived from Amazon yesterday, but was too beat from jury duty to watch it.

Finally watched it, pretty good, better than many. better than I would have guessed. Watch it in Korean with subtitles!

OK so I just watched "The Host". I liked it but to tell you the truth the best part (for me) was the scene of the monster attack I began the thread with!


I also just finished watching "Cloverfield". Much better (as monster movies go) in my opinion. Not such a great story.....just a better monster. :D

Russ

but I would not pay extra for the Blue ray because I don't think it would do much for the picture quality. I loved the ending.:thmbsp:

I liked Monsters Inc. Does that count? LOL

There's a pretty good monster at the end of Stephen King's "The Mist" which I checked out last night.

Had me buggin'.....:yikes:
