District 9

Year: 2009

Why'd I Watch It?: Jonathan assured me I'd like it.

What's It About?: Aliens who have been living in slums in Johannesburg for a couple of decades and the guy in charge of forcibly evicting them to a new area.

What'd I Think?: Western movies with mechs make me so happy. I loved this movie. The story is great. Sharlto Copley is wonderful. Weta's awesomeness makes me weep openly since I will never be able to work there and witness such beautifulness first hand. It might have helped going to this movie without knowing anything about it, but from what I hear even people who knew the whole story liked it a lot.
