Push

This film wasn't as bad as some of the reviews I've read on it. It starts off by saying in this world there are those that possess special abilities; Pushers can move matter, Sniffers by smelling can gain knowledge of the past of an object, Watchers can see into the future and another type can insert lies into another's head and force him to believe they are truths. Finally another type screams and can shatter matter. They are all "owned" by a military arm.

The story's set in Hong Kong as the main characters move about trying to piece together why everybody's after a girl, and a suitcase...

The tale isn't too bad, nothing really unoriginal though it moves fairly quickly. The special effects as can be imagined are pretty good and looked really snazzy on Blu-Ray.

The actors aren't that well known and they played their parts well. A good mindless Sunday evening film I reckon.

5.5/10

District 9

Saw it last night, really enjoyed it, my friend thought it was weird, but then she tends to find stuff like that weird

Few gory bits as previously mentioned, only went eeeeew! at one or two of them though, good film, I dont feel like I want 2 hours of my life back, two things that bugged me though.

Every time Wilkus said f**k (and he said it A LOT) his accent suddenly changed from a South African one, to what sounded like either Irish or Scottish, and it did begin to grate.

Why when the alien got back on the ship and powered it up, didnt he take all the others with him? Or was that setting it up for a sequel?

On the whole, a good film 8/10

that is actually the south african way to pronounce it, or at least the half dozen South Africans I've worked with previously all said it that way. Admittedly not as often as him though.

Sequel I believe. Plenty of room for it, especially with the prawns having been moved to District 10, the concentration camps.

She's not too bad. Forgot to mention above though it was kind of weird too. They gave her a skimpy little mini skirt and she's clearly more child than woman if that makes any sense.

District 9

In 1990, a massive star ship bearing a bedraggled alien population, nicknamed "The Prawns," appeared over Johannesburg, South Africa. Twenty years later, the initial welcome by the human population has faded. The refugee camp where the aliens were located has deteriorated into a militarized ghetto called District 9, where they are confined and exploited in squalor. In 2010, the munitions corporation, Multi-National United, is contracted to forcibly evict the population with operative Wikus van der Merwe in charge. In this operation, Wikus is exposed to a strange alien chemical and must rely on the help of his only two new 'Prawn' friends.

9/10
A very good film. It's a very nice twist on an alien film. However lots of exploding bodies and guts despite not being all out war. Only thing that let it down slightly was the end, I wanted a proper conclusion.

Well worth watching though.

Edit - where did you watch it knip?

I think they left the ending as they did ready for a sequel.

[Glaucus]

Yeah it doesn't strike me as a film that would have a sequeal, but i agree he ending was odd.

The "Christopher" prawn said he would be back in 3 years, so he can fix him, and then by the end he had completely transformed into a prawn, so I guess the sequel will be him coming back to get the others, turn blokey back
