Cats are great
I'm really looking forward to 9, the movie Shane Acker directed, hopefully it'll still be good even though it has Burton as it's producer along with that obnoxious song in the trailer.

Just saw 9, it was pretty good, can't say I liked the ending though. Not awful or anything but I would have preferred to see it go in a different direction. I find it odd that some people are talking like conservatives won't like it because it has an anti-industry, anti-war feel to it, but as a liberal type I ended up feeling almost offended at how anti-science it was without, as far as I could tell, even meaning to be anti-science. That might just be because I get pissed off whenever a story conflates outright alchemy with science, though. It can be done right - Golden Compass did a great job with alchemical science - but it really gets up my nose when you're in a modern setting, and what you're looking at is clearly alchemy, but everyone in the story calls it science. Seriously, Ghostbusters science was way way less magical than the science in 9.
The characters were pretty broad too but what are ya gonna do. Everything was definitely cool as hell. Some plot points I didn't really get till near the end, and the end itself got muddled - I was sure the movie had pointed out the solution towards the end but what they actually did was totally different and didn't make a lick of sense to me.
Much darker than I expected though which was nice.

Just came back from seeing 9 and Whiteout. 9 was over all good but kinda boring I liked some of the ideas used in the movie. Whiteout was better then I thought itted be, had some boring moments to but the investigation was interesting and it kept my attention.
I just wantes to comment back on district 9 , i thinking the movie must have been one of the movies that i have enjoyed in a while. I was at a poker game at a friends last week and was surprised how many people actually hated it, but then again even tho these are my friends they are the kind of people who thought transformers 2 is the most awesome movie ever.
I saw 9 and thought that while it was well executed, the plot had a lot of problems.
I mean really, if that 9 guy had never shown up, the main robot guy wouldn't have woken up in the first place and all those other automaton guys wouldn't have had to die. Yet they built 9 up like some kind of hero throughout the movie when in reality, if they'd just listened to 1, they'd all probably be alive and just fine. Also, a lot of it didn't make sense. That 'talisman' gave power to the evil computer brain, yet when 9 ripped it out, it still functioned? Why was it taking souls anyway? Maybe I missed the point, but I just don't see why there was a need to fight the brain in the first place other than 9 made a boo boo. Why would the scientist create them to destroy (if that's indeed why he created the automatons which is sort of what they state in the movie) the brain if it was already a pile of rubble in a building (the scientist had the power source?)?
I just saw Capitalism: A Love Story.
Wow. That was really something else. I don't know if I've ever felt more emotion over a documentary. He really sucker punches a lot of Americans in the gut. I know there's more to this story than what's presented here in the movie, but what he does show turns your stomach. Michael Moore has really worked out how to pull people's emotional strings.
The crowd I watched it with applauded at the end. I haven't seen that in a movie in awhile.

I saw Zombieland with my brother and a friend last night and we all had a great time. Many, many laughs to be had. It really was more of a comedy than horror flick, think Shaun of the Deadish, it didn't take itself seriously and I couldn't find flaw with it. Thumbs up here.

I completely forgot to post how I thought Zombieland was. Well, it was really funny and I enjoyed it immensely. It also has one of the best (if not the best) cameos I've ever seen in a film. I highly recommend it.
I'm looking forward to Where the Wild Things Are, as well, but I also want to see Shutter Island, the new thriller by Martin Scorsese. That and there are a couple scary movies I'm interested in checking out: The Fourth Kind and Paranormal Activity. Also, the more times I see the trailer the more interested I am in seeing Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes. While it doesn't look anything like the Sherlock Holmes I'm used to reading, it does look like a lot of fun, and I love Robert Downey Jr. Other than that, there isn't much else I'm looking forward to seeing.
As for next year...The Wolfman!

Thank you. It was pretty enjoyable I guess its what your into. I feel ya about taken a chance with movies but for me I go to costco to get 2 tickests for 15 not a bad deal. But anyhow I thought it was a good thriller.
