The story is great, the CGI is phenomenal, it's a movie where you genuinely can't predict the ending after only 30 minutes, and it is just a blast to watch. Very highly recommended.
Agreed. District 9 has a very unique storyline. It isn't your ol' "Aliens vs. Humans" movie. I definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone. You will not be dissapointed.
Talking about Sci-Fi and all that, has anyone seen Moon? I hear it's got good reviews, but I'd like to hear opinions from ordinary folks - SF reviewers are wont to go over the top when reviewing a SF film, and I might have been unlucky and heard of reviews from SF nuts.
I started watching Gamer earlier, but the quality was shite (and shaky - some fool forgot to take their tripod to the cinema) so I gave up. From what I did see it looks like a decent film, and the story was interesting.
Anyway, I'm about to watch Monsters vs. Aliens.
EDIT: Ah, FFS - it's out of sync with the audio by about a second. And lol - Stephen Colbert is playing the President.
Tonight I watched The Spiderwick Chronicles. For a film that feels like it would be more at home in rural England, rather than American New England, it wasn't at all bad. It was obviously aimed at a much younger audience, but for all that it was also quite... well, not scary to the older ones like me, but I can imagine it would have the little uns shitting bricks.
A decent score from James Horner but, for all his brilliance, he's a dick for re-using One Last Wish from the Casper film. You just don't get the same emotion in Spiderwick when you hear it as you do in Casper (the beautiful piano tune at 3', and when they're dancing at the end (4' 16") and Casper says "Can I keep you?"):
And there's the small fact that Freddie Highmore just ain't Christina Ricci.
