11:59 Cinema : District 9

Ok, I have to start with this... I LOVE PETER JACKSON. Like, LOVE HIM, in a weird fan-like obsessed with his work and ideas kind of way. The man is a main reason for allowing me to REALLY LOVE and ENJOY movies and films again! Having said that.. I this past week's visit to the 11:59 Cinema Session was to see a movie he produced called "District 9". IT ROCKED!!!!!!

Man, From about 2 minutes into the movie, I turned to one of my friends and said.. " I love this so much"... I am kind of a nerd for a good sci-fi film, but I am obsessed with quality spcial effects and story-telling, and on that front Peter Jackson and his team have never failed me.

This is not your typical, Aliens come to Earth type of flick either.. First off, the CG (computer Graphics) are like nothing else. If you saw the work that Peter and his team did on Lord Of The Rings, you know that they have some skills in that department.. I tell you, this blows it all away. The visuals will leave you completely wanting more..and the story is pretty original.

They movie is shot in an almost documentary style way, and the characters are so well played that it just takes you directly into the scene. I cannot wait to see it again. The consensus amongst the group of friends I went with, was that it was "probably one of the best films I have seen in a long time.. " and that was said by most of them, almost word for word. If you like a good action flick, sprinkled with a quality story and almost perfect special effects.. go see this flick! I will be seeing it AGAIN, soon!
