The Host

Yes, see 300, but also see The Host, a South Korean film (subtitles), which is a great monster movie. Not as scary as I thought it would be, but it was tense, and had chumbuckets full of humor. I laughed out loud several times. Really. And it was interesting to note how South Korean culture came into play (cell phones, protesters, cops, agitprop, homeless), as well as a portrait of our good ol' USA, which I think came across as the real monster, at least in this filmaker's vision. You tell me.
