CRIME 101 starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, and Mark Ruffalo

 
This week I'm reviewing a couple of new releases that I saw in the theater.  First let's talk about CRIME 101, starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, and Mark Ruffalo.

Go See District 9 ASAP!!!

me and my boy copped some free passes to a sneak preview showing of the new documentary style sci-fi joint District 9 produced by that dude Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings,King Kong) and directed by his protege Neill Blomkamp. the film takes place in Johannesburg, South Africa where an alien ship has been hovering for twenty years, and the shiftless aliens inside have been relocated from the dormant ship to the alien superghetto, District 9. the South African corporation MNU has designs on the aliens' technology, which will not work for humans, but as the documentary framing sequence foreshadows, something goes horribly wrong.

Dope on a rope...

okay... i have a small dvd collection so i borrow movies from my friends (mostly khalid...) and watch them over and over 'till they make me give 'em back...
this weeks movie is Fight Club starring Brad Pitt (12 Monkeys, Troy) and Ed Norton ( 25th Hour, American History X)...directed by David Fincher (Se7en)

gah! this movie is the bomb! i've watched it like 15 times in the past week! brad pitt and ed norton have crazy chemistry onscreen... and the dialouge and direction are gonzo. fincher needs to direct a comicbook movie... like Daredevil 2 (with Pitt Replacing Affleck as Matt Murdock, of course) or a Wolverine spinoff. if i was running things for Marvel or DC, i would definitely tap Fincher to adapt something... the tone of his films reflects the jaded, conspiracy-theory-laden vibe of post-Watchmen comics (did you say "what is watchmen?" PHILLISTINE!!! peep this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmen)
while i've been working on stuff for my portfolio, i played this movie in the background... i'm really impressed with it! i think when i get some money, i'm gonna buy it (the good movies are never cheap)!
(NOTE: i wrote this review a long time ago... i have Fight Club on DVD now. yay!)

peace.
