I recently took a little time out to see District 9. Now, I am slow when it comes to the latest trends and usually miss things because I am too busy with my head up my ass (or some equivalent). Usually I don’t recommend movies because my taste is incredibly different than most. For instance, I liked the Adventures of Ford Fairlane when I was a kid. I refuse to watch it now because it may suck. That said, District 9 is a movie you have to see to believe. The main reason I liked it so much was not really the social commentary or the special effects but this: I couldn’t guess what would happen next.
I always spoil movies because I make statements like, ‘you know what’s going to happen…’ then add what I think… and it’s usually right. I’m no genius, it’s just movies are so predictable these days because filmmakers and movie studios are too focused on audiences and familiarity instead. Other movies like this are: Blue Velvet, Weekend (Godards one) and to a lesser extent the Usual Suspects. I love a movie that surprises me!
