Bong Joon-Ho's Parasite promises a twisted tale

When I hear of a movie called Parasite from the guy who made The Host, I expect one thing. Having just watched the trailer, I did not get what I expected. At all. No monsters, at least in those couple of minutes. But it does look like a film that will be intense, funny and has something to say about class. Given it won the Palme d-Or at Cannes, Parasite is not crap. All the praise spread throughout the preview also cements this is probably a must see for any true cinephile. Give it a watch: Parasite screens at the Toronto International Film Festival next month, and opens in U.S. and Canadian theatres Oct. 11. Source: Neon

Red Band Snowpiercer trailer so good it chills

It's been a long time since a trailer has been so good it's given me chills . Well, OK. The Godzilla trailer gave me chills. But so does this Red Band trailer for Joon-ho Bong 's Snowpiercer . This doesn't happen every day. Personally, I haven't paid a lot of attention to the flick because of the controversy surrounding creative differences between Bong and The Weinstein Company , who apparently edited the crap out of it, which naturally upset the director. Drama and I don't get along.
