Saw The Host, a Korean monster movie with a refreshingly unsentimental take on the genre. Great creature, oddly political plot, and a realistic portrayal of how people would actually respond to a giant monster. More black humor than schmaltz. Worth seeing.

Ignore the terrible reviews. Van Helsing is a gloriously over-the-top monster movie that never pretends to be anything else. Great effects, genuine surprises, good acting (mostly), intentional and unintentional humor, and obscure B-movie references. Leave realism at the door and you'll love it.
