For weeks I had been trying to see the Host, and I kept not doing it.  I heard about this Korean monster movie and it sounded very cool, but I just couldn’t make it for one reason or another.  One time I actually went to the theater and I got the time wrong and it wasn’t showing.  Another time I stopped by, but it wasn’t playing until much later that day.  Luckily, I got a chance to see it before it left theaters.  It was beautiful, fucked up, and unlike any movie I have ever seen.  The movie is about a mutant fish monster who steals a small girl because he wants to eat her later.  Her father is trying to save her, but the government is at him because he may or may not be infected with a SARS like virus that he got from the fish monster.  This movie is funny and violent; the two most important things in any movie.  I think you should see it somehow.  If you live in NYC it is playing at the Sunshine and is well worth the $11.  If not, go see it when it comes out on DVD.  I know I am going to buy it and force all my friends to watch it.  Get on it.
