District 9....man this is a hard movie to review. It was unexpected, original, a bit gory but all in all if they make a sequel i would see it. The special effects were spot on. I don't think this is a date movie though, FYI. ill wait to see if anyone else sees it before releasing any spoilers.

All we're really looking for is a 'good / bad', 'x out of 5 stars'...

i guess i should have added AVATAR to the list....James Cameron's first film since Titanic....over 12 years he has put into this film.....release date Dec. 18th..

Well in that 12 years he has been doing a crap load of stuff, so he has hardly been spending 12 years just on this movie...

Hello Special Effects.....

So he spent 10 years working on special effects technology to make a movie that looks like a video-game trailer or something I'd see on SyFy. I think Mr. Cameron forgot that his formula for making a fortune was a universal story built around a giant room full of water and a Hollywood megastar.
Instead he'll be mocking humanity with rubber-people and pixels.

[ALUmnus]

I've been seeing commercials for this one, and I'm really looking forward to it. '9', produced by Tim Burton.

It is rather low budget and a very slow, simple story but I'm recommending 'The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry'. Very strong evangelistic message. Yeah, I know Christian cinema generally is lame. But my wife & I enjoyed this one that is set in 1970. It comes out in a couple of weeks.

Sooooo, a Christian version of "Tuesdays with Morry" starring Captain Steubing, Benson, and The Cheerleader's little brother?

[Sly Fox]

That's one way to describe it. It has some Stand By Me vibes working as well.

The Wolfman

It's got some big-time talent in this one. The embedding was disabled, so you're going to have to follow the link.

did you try using the youtube tags around the link? I wonder if the embedding is affected by that.

Exactly what I thought. It wasn't like, "man that was the best movie ever!" But it was definitely something never done before. Must see movie I'd say. Crazy, the effects were great, the camera work was great, the story was just different than any other "alien" movie. A sequel would be awesome too. 5 out of 5 definitely good

I saw it thought it was pretty good. It would have been better if I had known before I watched it that it wasn't a true story.

[Sly Fox]

Very fair complaint. But it never stated or implied it was based on a true story.

[kel varson]

Yeah, Sly I know. I just somehow had the impression it was a true story...especially after what they did at the end of the movie, showing what each kid ended up doing with his/her life.

Just got back from seeing Inglorious Basterds. I thought it was a very solid film. It's definitely not for the faint of heart. It has several obvious Tarantino-isms. I liked the vocal cameos from Samuel L. Jackson and Harvey Keitel. I'd recommend it if you like his other films.

Raw and hilarious. Tarantino to the core.

Next Batman to be filmed entirely in IMAX?
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/42153

The THIRD chapter of Christopher Nolan's Caped Crusader's saga could very well be FULLY shot in IMAX, not IMAX Digital - but the beautiful, stunning IMAX that we saw pieces of THE DARK KNIGHT in.

Now this is something that I'm sure a lot of you will feel is a no-brainer. Nolan blew us away with the IMAX sequences in that film - but it was a very tough process to work in. Mainly due to the limitations of how many available real IMAX rigs there are. Not only that, but lenses had to be created, adapted and god forbid one broke down. Part of the reason that Nolan went forward with INCEPTION first - besides taking a creative break from the cape and cowl adventures... was possibly to create a few new IMAX cameras made to his specs. Once again - the cost of shooting an entire feature film on IMAX... the stock, the time it takes to reset, to load, to move the cameras... Well... it is daunting, but as Nolan proved with DARK KNIGHT - the difference is stunning.

Anyone see The Dark Knight in an IMAX theater?

[LUconn]

IMAX is not what it used to be.

http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/aziz-ansari-imax.html

Apparently, IMAX rolled out a digital projection system last year that can be easily installed in a normal movieplex and doesn't require those huge film reels of a traditional IMAX projector. The downside is that the screens of these "Fake IMAX" theaters -- as Aziz calls them -- can be as much as a quarter of the size of standard IMAX screen. The size discrepancy between them is shown here:

But the real problem is that the IMAX Corporation along with its partners, theater chains AMC and Regal Cinemas, are refusing to distinguish between the two formats. Moviegoers will not know what kind of IMAX experience they will have until their tickets have been ripped. The theaters however, are charging the same price for "fake" digital IMAX as they do for "real" film-based IMAX.

[ALUmnus]

Yes, but if you read the post, he says that it will be filmed in "real IMAX" and not digital IMAX. So it will be what it used to be.

So has anyone heard about 'Paranormal Activity'? Supposedly it's the scariest movie to come along in a very long time, and was made on only $11,000.

ive heard about it and would probably see it if my fiancee didnt loathe horror movies, i usually find them very interesting.

However that small of a budget makes me think of blair witch project, and how awesome that was when it came out and now has no luster

[LUconn]

Just saw Tranformers 2. Yeah I know, I'm a little late. It was a pretty dumb movie. The first one was awesome though.

Did anybody think it was funny that they made a few references to Obama being president, instead of a fictional one like in a lot of movies? And then that staple bureaucratic wet blanket that comes in and trys to take command and will doom the earth has orders directly from the president to do so. They really hung him out to dry, but not on purpose I'm sure.

I saw Paranormal Activity last night and wasn't impressed. I love scary movies and found this one more comical than scary. IMO you shouldn't waste your money seeing it.

On another note, I also saw 'Orphan' last night and that was pretty good.

I haven't seen Paranormal Activity yet, but I thought Orphan was a really really good movie.
