Make Way For the Prophets of Rage

OMG The Host. Every one of you bastards needs to see this movie. (I call you bastards out of love.) Yeah, I saw 300, and although it had its moments, it was better as a comic. For every great image there was a line of horrid dialogue or narration. I'm not saying you shouldn't see it, necessarily. But, it will be there next weekend, and The Host may not be. I'm not kidding. GO!!!

What makes 'The Host' rise above other movies in the monster-movie genre? I must admit the trailers look pretty cool, though :)

Re 300: Is it just me, or did they overuse CGI in that movie? The trailer made it look like all the backgrounds were washed out, and it reminded me of those 90s PC games with the actors superimposed over CGI backgrounds.

Man, I have been waiting half of forever for The Host to come out - finally seeing it tomorrow. I'm glad that you thought it was awesome!

I hope The Host does that Korean movie thing where there are all these abrupt tonal shifts and people are weeping about their dead lover one minute and laughing about someone farting the next. Seriously, Korean films LOVE that.

I will back you up. I saw this a few months ago. It's great.

The Host = happiness all over. Best monster movie ever. I LOVED it.

Did you see the NYT review? I was very cranky with the way he kept saying how ugly the monster is. The monster was beautiful! But the Little Miss Sunshine comparison was on the money.

You should check out this review by Rob Hood.

I found 300 to be inadequate. No prisoners! (action) No mercy! (action) *le sigh*

Yes, yes, v. late on this, but I wanted to wait until I saw it to comment.

I loved this movie. I *lurved* this movie. And we deserved every shot it took at us. That was one of the best parts, I think.

My sweetie was glad to see some respect given to catfish. Cuz that thing had to be a mutant catfish. Look at the shape of the body.

My hubby's thing for catfish? Uh--best not to get into that here.....
