movie talk 3: alienated

to be honest, i am not a big fan of alien movies. reason being i think that having aliens on earth is more unrealistic than having ghosts here. furthermore, many alien movies sent me go disappointed in the past but not this one. the movie is "District 9".

the plot is about an alien spaceship that parked above Johannesburg in 1982. humans tried to established contact with the alien race and what not. soon over the course of 20 years, some people and the alien population are living on the area known as District 9. now, scientist and military troops are looking to relocate them due to the rising rate of protests and what not.

i was first drawn to this movie when i looked at the amount of money involved. it only took about US$30million to make and its gross revenue is about US$210million. this is crazy. plus, numerous friends said this film is rather unique and so i finally gave it a try. indeed, no regrets. the way the film dictate the storyline is rather interesting. plus, there are numerous heart-warming scenes in the second half of the movie. the ending was pretty touching and awesome. somehow, the director lets you think of your own ending.

movie talk 2: dark and light

this time i'm going to talk about the movie "Beautiful Creatures". watched this movie only couple of weeks back after a friend of mine recommended it to me. did not regret watching it.

the movie is actually based on some novel if i am not wrong. the story revolved about Ethan meeting this strange new classmate Lena. she was not the ordinary student everyone expect. the town was always bad mouthing about her and her family. soon Ethan knew Lena was some sort of sorcerer. Lena was approaching her special birthday where traditionally, her kind would be classed to be either dark or light after that date. Lena's family and her were trying to break the curse of being dark. this struggle grew more and more complicated and the story goes on.

personally, despite a slow and rather draggy introduction of the movie, i think this movie is a rather well-made one. the scenes are awesome. the suspense and excitement is there. the ending is kind of those that let you write on your own kind of thing. mild twist as well which is definitely a plus point. strongly recommended movie. :)
