I was just checking out the USA Today movie news and found myself in complete disagreement. Today's "Summer Movie Report Card" and it's conclusion that the "Season starts fast, then slips" is wrong. In truth, this has been one of the best seasons in years. With Hollywood actually slipping and fewer movies coming to wide release, the summer of '09 turned out to be a steady delight.  READ MORE

The buzz is picking up on this one: District 9 could be the surprise event for the summer. Peter Jackson is no stranger to success and he has his hands all over this one. Neill Blomkamp, his pick to direct District 9, had originally been slated for Halo (the popular video game to movie adaptation) until that effort stalled. District 9 could be bigger, much bigger.

Based on an original film by Blomkamp, the story is about visitors from space, drones trapped on a space ship with no leaders (think Alien Nation meets Cry Freedom). The idea is fresh, thrilling, almost original and something seldom seen in the safe world of sequel Hollywood. See this the first weekend as I predict the lines will grow.

Here is another new trailer for District 9...this time it is revealing way more about why the aliens are here and why they can't leave.

I have a couple of new trailers for the alien concentration-camp themed film District 9 that arrives in theaters August 14, 2009.
The film was directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson. READ MORE

The new Peter Jackson-produced District 9 has now gone online with it's own Official Website. 
The website references clues into the plot details of this much anticipated Sci-Fi movie. From what we know the alien visitors are being kept in a restricted area in the slums of Johannesburg, South Africa where they first landed but have also have been forced into slave labor. A government group called Multi-National United (MNU) is keen on exploiting the alien's technology, engineering and biology. A resistance group has been organized to shed light on the lies MNU is feeding the public.

Disctrict 9 arrives in theaters August 14, 2009.
