District 9 (2009) Movie Review

District 9 Television Trailers

The push is on to promote Niell Blomkamp’s District 9, the story of aliens that come to visit and the nasty reception they receive. I think the film is going to be great Sci-Fi but it seems like the anti-apartheid lesson it illustrates seems a bit dated. I can’t imagine any real aliens being...
