District 9


I haven't gotten around to making a Top 10 Movies of 2009 list yet, but if I ever do, you can be sure that District 9, which comes out tomorrow on DVD and Blu-Ray, will be on it.

District 9 is the freshest take on an alien movie that I've seen in a long time.  The aliens, commonly known as prawns ('cause that's what they look like), have been on Earth for years, and are forced to live in a ghetto.

The film is shot in a pseudo documentary style.  The first half acts as social commentary, while the second half is balls-to-the-wall sci-fi action.
