The Host

Tuesday, March 31, 2009 Tim and Katie hosted movie night during their last week in East Falls. We watched The Host (2006) and enjoyed a delicious authentic Korean meal of bulgogi, seaweed, kimchi and rice.

The movie was great: In Seoul's River Han, a giant mutant creature has developed as a result of toxic chemical dumping. When the squidlike monster scoops up the teenage granddaughter of humble snack-bar owner Hie-bong (Hie-bong Byeon), he races to track down the murderous beast. With no help from the authorities, who are convinced the girl is already dead, Hie-bong and his family will have to band together to save her -- and possibly the entire city.

Dinner was fantastic: vegetable dumplings, rice, kimchi, seaweed and bulgogi, grilled by Tim. Mmm!

In attendance: Tim, Katie, Joe, Eric, Lindsey and Barb
