Trying to come up with something to blog about today, but the weather — along with the movie I saw this afternoon — has ground me down to a fine paste.
This is cool, though; I even hadn’t realized the Gamera franchise was coming back. Apparently the producers are taking the character back to kid-friendliness, which is a little disappointing after the intensity of the previous Gamera pictures. (Have you seen “Revenge of Iris”? Seriously, it takes some huge balls to crucify a giant turtle.)
And speaking of giant monsters, that DVD of “The Host” I mentioned yesterday is indeed legit — the official Korean disc was released this week, and is starting to turn up in Toronto’s Chinatown. There might be pirated versions around, though, so make sure to patronize a trusted retailer.
Where does one find Korean dvds in Chinatown? The only Korean films I’ve found there are the ones out on Hong Kong labels.
I believe Magnolia plans to release The Host in the spring. Does anybody have Canadian distribution?
