103. "District 9"
I'm not a fan of science fiction (I tend to like the 'mainstream' stuff like "Hitchhiker's Guide" and "X-Files" but don't pay any heed to shows like "Dr. Who") so I was surprised that I even saw this film (which also doesn't make any sense since I rented it). It was much better than I anticipated.
The film paints with broad strokes. It's damn near impossible to ignore the modern day overtones. That being said, it's ambitious enough to have a message and a summer release date and budget. Kudos to having balls.
If you're able to suspend certain realities and don't let personal politics infiltrate your film going psyche, this is an extremely enjoyable film.
