The Host (2006)

Much ado about nothing

[6/10 · 9 December 2006]

I've seen this movie today cause I stumbled upon a website containing the most grossing movies in Korea this year. This one was number 1 on that list. So I became excited wanting to see a mutant beast causing chaos in a town in Korea. Positive points: 1.The special effects are shown in broad daylight, so nothing is hidden. The victims are not who you expect them to be. Negative points: 1. The special effects are sometimes dodgy/bad. 2. The dramatization is too much for its own good. 3. Sometimes scenes are dragged too long. 4. Dialogue is not very good. 5. Characters are mediocre.

Nothing new to see here. I hope Korean cinema doesn't carry on like this following cheap Hollywood mutant movies. Long live Oldboy!

911 Mysteries Part 1: Demolitions (2006 Video)

Objective view

[9/10 · 2 November 2006]

This documentary is meant to be a wake up call for all who live in this world. Our lives are merely a small and anonymous part of the whole greater idea that 'terrorism is endangering our democracy'. In fact, the reality is that our 'protytype' of a democracy must secure his hunger for oil. 9/11 mysteries lets you decide whether the official story of the happenings on that shameful day are true or whether we are being puppeted like Hitler and co. brainwashed the Germans in WW2. If you take the time to watch this piece, you will ask yourself: 'How can we be lied to like this in the 21st century, using modern media and the experience of WW2'.
