The Host
I have watched The Host recently. 
I like it, but I thought a large portion of it has to be credited to the "sound effect" in the theater ... ha ha ha ... As usual, I seldom like the "comic/exaggerated acting scenes" in the beginning ...

Memories of Murder
I recommend this film to a lot of people. Apart from the things you have mentioned, I want to say it has one of the better "ending" ... though some people may hate the "ending" ... the "ending" has so much food for thoughts ...
