District 9

This film is well....wierd at best but I watched it from start to finish.  After you stop laughing at the prawn aliens and once the guy gets infected then it's a pretty good story. It wasnt at all what I had expected.  Most of the cast are unknowns to us. So, when aliens land on Earth, global business conglomerate Multi-National United forces them into rigid containment zones where they are compelled to labor, even as MNU commandeers their otherworldly technology for profit. As tensions build between human and non-human races, a rogue agent leads a resistance movement against MNU's ruthless consolidation of power. Neill Blomkamp directs this cinema verité-style sci-fi thriller.

Love and Other Disasters

Since the death of Brittany Murphy, I have been going back and watching her films. Which many were really good. This is actually quite cute and easy to follow.

Problem is, she's so busy hooking up everyone else that she can't see her ideal match right under her nose.

Film Locations:
Although shooting was to be done in Vancouver, which was where the previous three films were shot, David R. Ellis convinced the producers to shoot in New Orleans instead to bring business to the city, and because the budget was already large. The opening crash sequence at "McKinley Speedway" was filmed at Mobile International Speedway in Irvington, Alabama. Filming began in March 2008 and ended late May in the same year. Reshoots were done in April 2009 at Universal Studios Florida.

At first I didnt think this was going to be good at all, but it actually faired pretty good. When Kyle was a kid, he claimed he woke up from sleep to find the Tooth Fairy about to kill him. From then on, everyone figured him for a loony -- except his childhood sweetheart, Caitlin, and her brother, Michael When Kyle returns to his hometown, it seems he wasn't so crazy, after all: An undefinable evil has settled in the town of Darkness Falls, and Kyle must save everyone from it.
