2 Flicks for the long weekend

Volver%202.jpg The%20Host.jpg

1 new one for the theatre from Korea, 1 new dvd release from Spain

2 of the big hits of last year's Vancouver Film Fest are out right before this long weekend. Korean Bong Joon-ho's the Host is finally out in theatres this week. While it's been called one of the best monster movies eva, the movie itself is not so much about the monster itself as what's behind it (domestic and foreign). And though, this aint the first, its still also pretty cool to see Korean movie trailers being played on prime time TV and in the megaplexes too.
The Host is playing at Tinseltown, Silver City Riverport & Coquitlam.

You can also bring Penelope Cruz home this weekend albeit under Pedro Almodovar's direction in Volver. The incomparable director from Spain teams with Cruz for the first time since All About My Mother and Cruz gives what most are saying his her best performance to date in a familiar Almodovar theme of female resilience. Volver is out on DVD this week.
