All Hail Paranormal Activity!!

Hey guys, Julian here to fill ya in about a little movie called Paranormal Activity. (Note: this post may seem outdated, but was written with the Dutch Movie audience in mind and they only get to see the film in November.) Now I’ guessing that most of you have heard at least a little something about the ongoing internet-phenomenon that is Paranormal Activity. I mean, even if you don’t enjoy wetting your pants in a stuffy theater full of screaming girlfriends and their male… Continue

9 - My Review

This is just a short review that I typed up for my University. Tell me what you think. Plus, what do you think of the movie '9'?

Cinepub Review: District 9

I don’t think it’ll come as much of a shock that I think this has been a pretty bad year for films. Sure, there was 'Star Trek' and I liked 'Watchmen' more than some internet folks seemed to but things like 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' and 'Friday the 13th' just can’t be overlooked and oh how I wish they could be. I held out hope, however, for one shining jewel in this sea of mediocrity and downright awfulness and that hope lay in the hands of a movie set in South Africa which was odd b… Continue

9 Movie Review

9 is movie unlike anything I have ever seen. It's a very strange movie. But sadly I can't say it's strange in a good way. I mean, visually this movie is one of the best films of the year. But story and acting wise, it's no… Continue

Late-ass Reviews: 9

I saw 9 the other night, and after I did, I couldn't help feeling that I should of watched Inglourious Basterds for the fifth time instead. Usually, I don't watch animated films. That's mainly because I don't like sappy kid movies, and 99.99% of them are exactly that (though I must admit, I loved The Incredibles & Toy Story). When an animated film that does cater to an adult audience comes along, I'll go out of my way to watch it (Heavy Metal, for example.). But ultimately they all fall sho… Continue

(Late) 9 Review

A few weeks ago, movie fans were blessed with the gift that was District 9. First time director Neil Blomkamp (along with producer Peter Jackson)'s dark action packed sci-fi film (which was based off a short film) became a smash hit and is still currently in this weeks top 10 at the box office. And here we are now with a similar flick, 9. This an edgy sci-fi animated film by another firs… Continue

"9" Film Review

"9", directed by first timer Shane Acker, is a film unsure of itself. Whether that be the fact that it's stuck between adult content and child-like simplicity in terms of character and plot, or the vague morale message it uses as a weak excuse for its post apocalyptic setting. It's contrived, the dialogue, thankfully spare, drags the film, and plot progression only comes in when they animators need another excuse for a fight scene. The short film that the movie is based on (they share a t… Continue

My unproffesional "9" review! :(

So on 9/11/09 I saw the movie 9.

It was a disaster, nawwww just kidding, I really enjoyed it. As most people know this was based on the 2005 acadamy award nominimated film.

It had a dark feeling that reminded me of the Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline (2 films I really loved), but since I'm a nit pick… Continue

9 Review

9 *1/2 out of **** Spill Rating: RENTAL! What happens when you get a kids film that is too scary for children but not appealing enough for adults? You get a film that doesn't please anyone. 9 has some mind-blowing visuals and imaginative action sequences but a contrived plot and under deve… Continue

Review: 9

You ever see a trailer for a movie that looks totally bad-ass, only to get to the end of the trailer and see: "Coming December of next year"; or something like that. Well, several months ago, while I was sitting in the theater waiting to see "Coraline", I saw for the first time, the trailer for "9". I wanted September to be arrive right then and now. Instead, I waited six months for the film to arrive. For the past few weeks, I had been growing anxious, waiting for 9/9/09 to arrive. Was this fil… Continue

9, or How I Stopped Worrying and Loved Stitchpunk

9 (not to be confused with the musical Nine, coming out in November), began as a short film of the same name made by Shane Acker in 2005. The plot of the short film is very simple: a sentient doll (referred to as a 'stitchpunk' by Acker) called '9' is being hunted by a mechanical cat beast in a ruined landscape. There is no dialogue, but the audience is shown that the other eight stitchpunks were destroyed by the beast, including 9's friend and mentor, a stitchpunk named '5'. Predi… Continue

A Review of DISTRICT 9, by me, EL FOGGY

Welcome to the Indie Sci-Fi! This movie is the definition of the term "EPIC WIN!!!" Low budget, but a genius director and produce using every penny of it to make something, not only visually amazing, but emitonally too. The tail is simple yet so deep, it takes you to dark places and you leav… Continue

The District 9 Aliens Invade EA/Maxis Game

For those unfamiliar with PC gaming as of right now, there is a game out there by Maxis and distributed by EA called Spore. It’s pretty much Will Wright’s last project before he retired to focus on other things and can be best described as Sim Everything. You start out as a single cell microb and then evolve your way into a galactic race capable of beaming down onto other planets and abdu… Continue
