The Host

Date: Monday, August 13
Location: Clifton Living Room

I'm not sure what exactly to make of this movie. It's very well-made, with shots and situations worthy of Jaws, to which it's been compared. It also has a lot of screwball humor and political satire that works only about half the time. And the ending, while "brave" in the way it upends the expectations of movies like this, left me very cold. But I'm glad I saw it, and I suspect director Joon-ho Bong will be a talent to watch for some time.
