Great job. i also love basterds and thought Pitt was trying way to hard on his southern accent, but Walz more then made up for Pitts inadequecies. Walz was the best hans since Hans gruber. I would disagree on your GI joe hatred. I was waiting for this movie for a very long time and i loved it. I wasnt expecting Shawshank but i thought it was entertaining fun. I also belive we have the same humor so its no surprise that i also loved Bruno. Its only humor and if more people would lighten up and take it for waht its worth we would be a lot better off. Keep up the good work and i ll keep reading and writing. OK so now im totally hooked to the site and your reviews.

There was hardly any action in that movie until after at least an hour into it. And the action we got was awesome.I also thought the conclusion, for lack of a better term, WAS a bit tricky - the cliche of having to choose between escaping and saving Wikus was avoided, and CJ simply leaves us with the hope, however faint it may be, that he'll be back in 3 years. @ Lagrange

I very liked how unusual it was, but I expected a misterous movie, like something with a storytwist or tricky conclusion. It was too much fighting action, too much people beeing blown up by laser guns.

It may be better than Sunshine, I am unsure of what my take on it is. I wouldn't rate it above The Matrix so at best, it's the best of the last decade. But, again, a lot of people are saying it is the best since Blade Runner.And my brother saw The Final Destination. He said it was one of the worst films he had ever seen which is saying something since he reeeeally enjoyed Date Movie, a movie I actually walked out of and demanded my money back. @Madison: Like I said, District 9 was the best Sci-Fi film since Sunshine without a doubt.

Should I be happy I did?@ TakerGamer looks like an interesting concept, I haven't yet made up my mind if I'm going to see it or not. Maybe if I'm very, very bored...I will likely see 9. Even if it stinks, the animation looks spectacular. Aren't you looking forward to Avatar??? @ Josh

Plan on picking up Moon, on DVD when it comes out, is it full of cliches like the trailer somewhat implicated?Anyone going to see 9? Only movie im looking forward (That i can remember) thats coming out this year is Sherlock Holmes and thats only for Robert Downey Jr. I saw District 9 when it first came out and i would have to say you have to be somewhat shallow minded to not be blown away, yesterday i saw Gamer for kicks and i would have to say it should of and could of been so much better MCH was the only thing saving it from total oblivion.

Nice.@ LauraDepp looks like he could be in his 30s; it's so surreal. Seeing Public Enemies in that Chicago theater must have been amazing.I'm sure if I read the Potter books I would have appreciated the movie more, although, I have enjoyed the prior 5 movies (particulalry the 3rd, 4th, and 5th) a great deal, so I was still disappointed.You need to see District 9. @ Korinthian

Pretty high praise! Nice.

I still can't get over how young Jonny Depp still looks. Michael Mann is a great director, and I thought the movie was splendid. It did seem to drag at some times, but that's just how movies go. My friend lives in Chicago and saw the premiere at the theater where Dillinger was shot which is pretty awesome.I personally loved Harry Potter. However, I have read the books, so there was more disappointing things that weren't in the movie versus the book, which I'm sure hard core fans would argue, but I realize that it's a movie and the book will always be longer than what can be depicted on screen. And I'm cool with that. Unfortunately, the sixth book wasn't really that exciting in action terms, and basically just sets you up for the last book, in which there is a crap load of action. And I found myself laughing a lot in this last movie.Everyone hated on Funny People, but I agree that it was funny. That opening prank call literally had me in tears, and it was nice to go to a movie with a large audience who appreciated the movie.And I forgot that Angels and Demons even came out this summer. I've been wanting to see District 9 (I totally fell for their awesome marketing posters), especially with all the praise it's been getting and the fact that I like science genre movies (Star Trek...I've been waiting impatiently for it to come out on DVD) Good summary of the movies.
