Also, tonight is Alice in Wonderland midnight movie. Let's see if Depp and Burton can butcher another American classic. Check back tomorrow for more details.
One last piece of information, it is about time that the Academy Awards recognize a sci-fi film again. This has not been done since Star Wars in the '70's, but they snubbed it's bigger-better brother The Empire Strikes Back was snubbed all together. But this year they finally pulled it out and put District 9 into the mix.
For anyone who did not see District 9, this film broke down the genre barrier for an action/sci-fi film and was shot in a truly unique way for this unique story. The acting is above average, and it is a believable story that brings back memories of aparthide in South Africa.
This movie is certainly a dark horse in the best picture category, but it is one step closer to recognizing a film genre that has been missing from the academy for thirty years.
IT'S A TRAAAP! That actually is the coolest news I have heard in a while. I might just want to go to school there if it happens.
ReplyDeleteAnd I actually really enjoyed District 9. I'm a pretty big Scifi fan, and I was a little unsure walking into the theater on this one, but it did not disappoint.
