Topic: Review a film that you think is worth watching (not one that you don't)

Head's up:

District 9 was pretty bless'ed cool. 

In the interest of not spoiling a movie that just came out, I will say no more.

That's really good to hear. It looks really cool. I was really hoping it didn't get messed up, and it really would be good.

good news. I really hoped it would not be a big fail.

Apparently I saw the previews of this when we went and saw Pelham but I saw dont remember. The reviews are astounding from all age & genre groups. I suggested trying to get a good copy to download and the "Fam" said,  "Heck no, lets go to the theater to see it". So.........

I actually wouldn't mind seeing it again.

From what Peter Jackson said, they made the entire movie without anyone from the Hollywood media ever asking one question of the production.

The film doesn't have any name actors in it, you see, so it probably fell off everyone's radar.

What 'action blockbuster' movie is made without having some big name douchebag to star in it?

Well, this one apparently and I think it helps the film tremendously to not have to cater to the action star's ego about what can and can't happen to his character, amount of screen time and dialog, etc.

For me, the fact that the hero was unknown and unlikely that made it better...

District Nine is gonna ROCK!

Hey guys,, got a new one the other day that surprised me.
Im not only into horror, but into the Sci Fi thing too ( ok ok,, im a geek, I admit it).
 Check out Mutant Chronicles.
SOunds cheesy,, yeah,, but its more Steam Punk than anything else.
Good idea,, decent story,, and a couple decent stars ( Ron Pearlman and Thomas Jane).

I liked it ,,,

You need to check out Outlander too,, good story, good cast,, good camera work, and one of the most original aliens ive ever seen.
Closest thing I can come up with as a comparison was Predater done in the Viking era.

*snortsss* I still haven't been brave enough to watch it. I was worried my brain would fight beteen coolness.. and horrid badness... and my head would explode in an aesthetic inspired dilemma

I simply cannot express how surprised I was from this movie! I started to watch it thinking it would be another disney-kinda-movie with Robin Williams. It is not. I t is definitely not for little kids. It is one of the best dark comedies I have seen in a while and maybe one of the best movies in 2009. It is simply wonderful.

OK, the movie is not perfect. Personally, I could have lived without the happy ending.
Nevertheless, Robin Williams is brilliant in it. After crap such as RV and Night at the Museum, he has proven us once again he can play in a tragedy. Because this movie is a tragedy.

I will stop here, because I do not want to spoil it anymore. Just watch it.

Uuuuuhhhhhh........wow.

Spoiler (hover to show)

One thing you forgot to mention here CMF is this was written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait. It is SO him. I loved seeing him in the little bit part as the chauffeur too. The movie was a bit slow for me but it was well done. It definately falls nicely under the heading of "Dark Comedy".

Not quite sure why you say that the ending was a happy one because I definately didnt see it that way but that is one thing cool about this kind of film. Interpretations vary greatly. I would recommend this film to people that dont like the obvious. It is very unpredictable and honestly...... hilariously off-kilter. I hate sounding repetitive, but once again, the ending makes the movie for me and this one was brilliant. I would love to hear peoples feedback on this it after youve seen it.

Thanks for the recommendation CMF. Im really glad I saw this and dont know if I would of if you hadnt of said something about it.

[xtopave]

Now I really want to see it. 

[mishca09]

could you tell me the ending?
