I found a funny trend in movies these days, especially those concerning the end of the world. Perhaps you’ve also noticed this, but the best way to explain the end of the world is to use a fruit. This got me wondering, why use a fruit as THE go to end of the world metaphor?
I just saw the trailer for the movie, The Fourth Kind, and can’t remember when since I’ve been this creeped out by a trailer. Go check the trailer first and come back to read further.
So after two weeks of torture I finally managed to see the most hyped film of the year. Coming into movie I hated having such a subjective view on it: rave reviews, bombastic claims, South Africa etc, yet this probably is the first movie that has ever justified its hype for me. Before I continue, I warn thee of a potential spoiler alert. So please refrain from reading further if you’ve not seen the movie. If you haven’t… shame on you! Go see it! NOW!
This iconic image from the new sci-fi sensation, District 9, seems all handy and dandy, right? Amazing even! The sense of grandeur among the dirty townships is a stark contrast… yeah yeah yeah, this movie sounds awesome! Twitter can’t shut-up about it. It’s making me so jealous.
I’m going to skip the formalities here, after all this is a blog. I presume you already saw the first Transformers movie and know the actors: all that mumbo-jumbo back story stuff that good reviews do. Alas, I’m very lazy, and just want to talk about this movie. You know, what I thought, what I liked, what was weird and such. It’s like a review, but not really. [Spoiler Disclaimer: Don't hold me responsible! You've been warned!]
