Babe-factor blowed, but really loved District 9 and loathed the thought of turning into a crustacean from space. Guess that was the point and drove the thriller through to the very end. But really, that ewes me out. Turning into this guy and all. Not sure I'd go so far as to choppin' off my thumber or anything whack like that, I mean, that would sting like sh*t. I also wouldn't risk using a cell phone when Jean-Claude Van Damme's evil clone and military commander is on the hunt... that would be down-right st*pid. But goin' right into the lion's den, a la Christian Slater into Gary Oldman's in True Romance, well, that sh*t's classic, so count me in. Guess bein' part alien could be exciting after all.
If you have yet to see this, you haven't a clue as to what I'm talkin' about. No matter 'cause this movie is extremely original with the sole exception of the alien look and style also along with the signature gurgling and clicking voice of Predator, so you'll want to see it and go while it's in all its glory on the big screen. Not that it is particularly beautiful to look at, rather, it's just helpful in transporting you into a world that you frighteningly will recognize -- the setting and the circumstance (al beit the oppression is upon a, er, person with a different skin... green, fleshy and slimy). Just watch the movie trailer and read on because...
FilmBender Movie Reviews are written by a different kind of alien -- one who looks equally as horrific from watching far too many movies. Anyway, the flick is written by a different type writer/director as well, Neill Blomkamp, who is South African and helped bring his personal experiences onto the screen from a land that has far greater problems and suffering than the Western World has witnessed. Peter Jackson produced, so prepare for quality film that deftly puts you in an alien slum on Earth and then sets you up nicely for a sequel that's sure to have lots more shrimp on the menu.
After reading a few of your sci-fi movie reviews, I'll know to never, ever, EVER listen to ANYTHING you EVER say. EVER.

And after reading your comment, I now know you must never, ever, EVER really say much of ANYTHING at ALL. EVER. (Except the word "ever.")
