District 9

It’s been quite some time since District 9 was released, and I’ve heard some funny things about it so I thought it was about time to find our for myself.

I brought District 9 home to watch and Amelia and I didn’t know what hit us. Now, I would not say it was movie of the year material, but it was crap funny. The production team managed to find so many ways to rip off other movies and others countries when producing this film it is simply incredible.

I would recommend that you watch with subtitles, just to make sure you don’t miss anything due to the pronunciation. The main character is brilliant and did a great job and keeping the tone of the movie serious and insanely funny at the same.

We’ll be watching this again some time, if you haven’t watched it yet you are missing out.

Seven Pounds

After seeing Will Smith‘s interview on Oprah and hearing them rave about the movie, Amelia simply couldn’t wait to see what they were all on about.

We looked for it in video stores a few times before finally finding it in, after ordering a Scooter’s Pizza, Saturday Special, buy two large pizzas and get a DVD for free. Now that’s what I call a deal.

I’m not sure if I should be happy or sad about this one.

Seven Pounds takes you on a slightly confusing, emotional journey which becomes almost predictable mid way.

This movie is graphic and thought provoking and you will catch yourself wondering who’s side you are on some of the time.

Seven Pounds reminds us of how important it is to be vigilant while driving, the huge impact of being an organ donor and most of all that we should appreciate every moment we have with our loved ones.

Life is short, so make is sweet.

Rise – Blood Hunter

Amelia and I have looked at the cover, a few times but never got to the point of taking it out.

This weekend, we were not sure what we wanted so we took it out.

Rise was not particularly exciting or nerve wrecking, if you are in to gore this this is up your ally, with plenty of bloody scenes typical to a vampire film.

The film did however take one of two twists, but not so much as to the point where you jump out of your chair in astonishment.
