Katherine I watched My Sassy Girl recently and I have to say it almost had me in tears (almost haha). I also watched 200 Pounds Beauty abroad and have to say that was a decent movie as well to say I’m not into those comedy-romance type thing.

I’ve really started to like korean movies now, I should start studying that soon haha….

Valerie: Here’s a movie I think you would like to take a look at: Elite Squad (Tropa de Elite), not my fav subject but I did watch it because of Wagner Moura (he plays Capitão Nascimento, main character), he’s awesome!!! Tell me what you think when or if you watch it, falou (oKie dokei)? Beijos

Thanks Angie…Do you have a link where I can watch it on the web?

Hey Val, try here first: Tropa de Elite They also provide a link for you to see a bit of the movie.

From Korea The Host / Gwoemul / 괴물

Released July 2006

The beginning – A Korean Scientist working for the U.S. Army is ordered to dump highly toxic chemicals into the Han River in Seoul, South Korea. Because of that, something in the Han River eventually mutates into a terrifying creature that hunts humans as its prey.

A great movie – very good effects, a lot happens in it, some very Korean aspects to it, a lot of not so subtle comments about politics.
