The story is brilliant
As are the special effects... the one thing I kept thinking was "how the hell did they make this for 30 million".

Been hearing a lot of great things about District 9. Methinks it'll be the sleeper hit of the year. Shall see it on Tuesday afternoon.
This morning I watched "The Counterfeiters", an Austrian film about Jews who were forced to help the Nazis forge UK currency in the Sachesenhausen concentration camp. Excellent stuff. And this afternoon I watched David Mamet's "Heist", starring Gene Hackman, Danny DeVito and Delroy Lindo. It's a David Mamet film. It's a heist movie. Pretty much what it says on the box.

Just watched "The Getaway" with Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw. Great stuff. Never seen the remake with Baldwin and Basinger.

Sure did, 2007 Best Foreign Language Film winner. It's a Holocaust film so it had a good chance of winning anyway.

Saw District 9 last night. Possibly the most I've ever enjoyed a movie at the cinemas, and right up there with the great alien films of all time. It's awesome.
It's not a movie Americans could make, I think. Or if they did, it would be a very different (and shit) film.

Watchmen - pretty good, far too long. The story swung back and forwards
with human superhero character backgrounds which made it a little tricky
to follow due to the massive running time. The action was great and the
story was interesting enough but I did find my patience wanning a few
times as the night got later and I started thinking about what time I
could eventually get some sleep. Only one true superhero here and
excessive superhero action is not abound as might be expected.
Hard Candy - a somewhat uncomfortable movie to watch but clever
nonetheless. Well a very clever 14 yr old girl who plays a suspect pedo.
Gripping to say the least.

I saw District 9 tonight. Quite good, but I thought the first half dragged a bit. The shaky camerawork made me nauseous.

I didn't find the shaky camera distracting... it settles down after the first 20 minutes (once the movie has established the setting)
Saw D-9 last night.
Was good.
Definately an unusual form of film-making which added to it's realism..
Open for a sequel too....

heavy metal in baghdad

I know this has been out for a while but I only recently watched and found it enthralling. I checked on the band and see Acrassicauda were relocated to America earlier this year by the International Rescue Committee.

What they went through to play metal is unbelievable, no wonder James Hetfield gave them a guitar when he met them! I wish them the best of luck with their metal quest in the free world.
