First clip of The Host 2 from director Park Myeong-chan
I really dug Bong Joon-ho's The Host, the 2006 Korean monster movie that's full of dark, bitter comedy and surprising emotion. I was barely aware that a sequel to The Host was in the works, but here is the first footage from it. The Host 2 is from director Park Myeong-chan, who's apparently done commercials in the past. (Bong Joon-ho didn't wish to return; he's currently doing post-production on Snow Piercer starring Chris Evans.) There's no indication of the film's story or possible release date. Maybe the coolest thing about this footage is that you get to see how Macrograph, a Korean effects company, did the CG. Macrograph is also responsible for the digital effects on the 2011 version of A Chinese Ghost Story and Journey to the West, Stephen Chow's forthcoming Monkey King movie. [Via Twitch] Did you know?

2:00 PM on 05.08.2013 Next Korean Movie Night NY series features Sunny (YAY!!!)I love Sunny. I love it so much that I don't feel awkward typing like a preteen girl talking about how fantastic it is.

9:00 AM on 05.07.2013 Teaser Trailer: [REC] 4: ApocalypseI've felt that the [REC] series has been a case of diminishing returns. I really liked the first one, thought the second one was good but had an issue with the break in tension midway through, and, well, then there was a thi...
8:00 PM on 05.06.2013 Tribeca Reviews: Whitewash and Big Bad WolvesI like film festivals for a lot of reasons, but one of the best is the way films are forced into context with a number of other, entirely unrelated films. The act of watching multiple films in a day alone creates all sorts of...
5:00 PM on 05.06.2013 Tribeca Capsule Review: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?Here's an interesting fact: Taiwan is among the most gay-friendly countries in Asia. Gay marriage is not explicitly legal (a bill attempting to fix that stalled nearly a decade ago), but even as far as 2006, a poll of the pop...
11:00 AM on 05.06.2013 Tribeca Capsule Review: NorthwestIn some ways Northwest could be written off as another movie about how crime doesn't pay. There's an escalation of criminal activity, there's the brief taste of a modest sweet life, there's the tragic inflation of egos, and t...
