Today I watched The Host. First off, when I saw the trailers for it, I wasn't aware it was a Korean film. Then I learned it's official site is in spanish, yet the movie itself is dubbed in English (the DVD may contain Korean with English subs, I'm not sure). So knowing all of that, I was unsure about watching it. I decided to watch it anyway, knowing how poorly dubbed movies usually are. For special effects, the movie is great. It has a really good story and it's worth seeing.
Even though this is a fairly new movie, their is some US movie studio that already owns the rights to do a remake. Although I'm not too fond of remakes, I'm sure it'll be done well, as long as they don't get a ton of famous actors to play in it (I don't care for movies full of faces I've seen in a dozen other movies). The only reason I say it should be good, is because of the English dubs on this version. It makes the movie almost laughable at some points. It's not bad, but I wouldn't mind reading subtitles for this one.
