Those wary of sci-fi or teen angst will be pleasantly surprised by this mature and imaginative thriller, propelled by equal parts action and emotion.

Isn't it more convenient to insert 0 (zeros) for the other color wheels rather than have it permanently planted there? There's less room for error. Tamad kasi. Ayan.

The Host DVD
2007-08-09 12:59:00 we recently viewed The Host on DVD and i have admit that it exceeded my expectations as a horror film. the horror genre certainly isn’t a personal preference of mine so i wasn’t totally sure if i’d like the flick but since it had been getting a lot of positive buzz and plus the fact that it’s korean got me to place it on top of my netflix queue. the movie starts out a bit like one of those old monster B-movies and suddenly takes off when the creature emerges from the Han river. the well written characters and carefully crafted visuals save the flick from being too campy. there’s no Jerry Bruckheimer style hero to save the day here. just a dim-witted slacker trying to save his daughter from the mutant creature with the aid of his family. i loved the dopey korean humor in the film and the scene of the creature’s initial rampage through the park was a real thrill to watch. The Host gets a big thumbs up from me and i highly recommend that you place it on your queue.

How to be the Host with the Most
2007-07-15 10:32:00 Now that the summer is here, your friends and family likely have more time to come and visit- and stay for an extended period of time. I know this holds true for me- in the next month, I will be hosting my grandparents, childhood friend, my in-laws, and my sister with her 3 children. Not that I mind, of course- I knew when I moved far away from my loved ones that those who were brave enough to make the journey would require beds, food, and a lot of TLC. That being said, hosting guests can be an overwhelming prospect for many people- myself included…which is why it’s helpful to have a strategy for dealing with your guests and making sure that they (and you) are comfortable at all times. One easy way to ensure the comfort of your guests is to provide them with as much privacy as possible. In our house, the guest room is upstairs, while our family sleeps downstairs, thus giving the guests their own space and keeping them as far away from our (potentially) screaming babies as po...

Commentary: Why All The Hostility Towards Environmental Action?
2007-05-28 15:03:00 I?m confused (which is pretty much my natural state). Before going any further, I have to admit that until I started paying attention to the research and development of alternative fuels with my two websites, I was paying little attention to environmental issues. There?s no real excuse for that, so none is offered. A chance phone conversation with an old high school chum in the Midwest sparked my interest in ethanol and, eventually, the entire alternative fuels picture. That led to my establishing two websites: one a collection of links to news stories on research and development of alternative fuels; the other a podcast site covering the same topics. That?s when I first paid attention to the immensity of our environmental problems. On April 1st of this year, a misunderstanding on my part led me to Green Options, and my eyes have been opened even further. And that has led to this state of not understanding the hostility some people have to cleaning up our environment. What ca...

2007-03-19 01:29:00 fundamentally, due to cultural differences, most, if not all, foreign films follow a different set of conventions that often leave the largely western audience with a good dose of healthy befuddlement and some thought-provoking after-movie glow.the host is a fine example.the korean monster flick, directed by bong joon-ho (memories of murder, barking dogs never bite), is evertyhing that a creature feature should be and more. in essence, it is a tale of ordinary people facing extraordinary odds.central to the story is the parks, a family of misfits who owns and operates a snack bar on the banks of the han river. all live a relatively quiet life until one day when a monstrous mutant creature emerges from the river and decides to unleash some royal rampage and carnage on the local populace. in the midst of the frenzy, the granddaughter of the family is snatched by the creature and is taken away. so begins the tale of the once-ordinary family's desperate attempt to do battle with the mu...
