"There's a lot of secrets in District 9..."

District 9, the searing debut feature of South African director Neill Blomkamp, is a summer flick of a rare breed: it's a science fiction movie with depth and provocative ideas that also leaves space for violence and action.

Still A Better Love Story Than Twilight (20 movies items)

"Catfood and Prawns This poor little things sit on shelfs for days months, all they wanted was for someone to buy them and love them and eventually they did.
