Alright now let's just get something straight from the get go. Me + crazy ass alien plot = me enjoying myself.
aliens. YES! robots. YES! beef beef beef! YES! crazy afrikaaaaaan accent in the mix. YES! YES! YES!
District 9 is the shiznit. I loved the new take on alien invasion. The setting was sick (the whole apartheid theme was all too obvious in JoBurg) and the effects were lively. (That's Peter Jackson money right there!) The effects also got me buzzing for Avatar... (Peter Jackson owns Weta Digital, the effects beast behind Avatar's effects...) I feel the plot was lacking in certain areas and at times was a bit unoriginal. but uh-hum: did i mention ALIENS ROBOTS and BEEF BEEF BEEF?!
Those who know me also know I'm a Cloverfield F-A-N-A-T-I-C and this film draws on that filming style. Hand held shooting styles and lots of panicking. nice! It was also good to see some transformation themes which made Peter Jackson's Bad Taste such an epic film. If you still haven't seen Bad Taste go rent it NOW!
Anyway, District 9 is definitely worth watching. Go check it.
Verdict: 78%

Final Destination 3D
I love the intricate death traps!
This is a pretty poor choice to kick the blog off on but hey I watched it 2 days ago so what the hell....
I love Final Destination films! I'm warning you already, if u don't like gore, especially when it's jumping at your face in 3D don't watch Final Destination 3D. I however was laughing my ass off the whole way through. Watching those films reminds me of watching Youtube videos where people make elaborate domino chains (if you don't know what I'm talking I can see how dull that might seem). You wait and you wait with every new grizzly detail added to the equation, only to all go pear-shaped which a guy throat-fu*king a pole till it comes out the other side of his face! lovely.
It might have been that I was scoffing a tub of Strawberry Cheesecake, hyped from the Avatar preview I had just caught, but I couldn't help but cheer for joy when the guy got his liver sucked out through his arsehole.
Also, I was also able to catch the preview to Sorority Row and I'll let you on to a little secret... They're ripping off I know what you did last summer!! Literally. Mixture of guys and girls accidentally kill girl. Girl actually isn't dead. Guys and girls kill her again. Guys and girls slowly die some time later. Suspect Girl. bla. bla. fu*king bla.
So as for Final Destination 3D, I didn't go in expecting a miracle. I got what I wanted.
Verdict: 66.6% (u love what I did there...)

New blog!
Hello to all,
My name is Ludo. I love films. A friend of mine the other day said I had become a reference to him and his friends about films to see. I've had an unlimited card for a year now and I will honestly watch a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. As I've always said. If someone has taken the time to make a movie, I'll take the time to watch it.
So a few things about me... I'm half french, half canadian, 23 years old, finishing my Master's and about to embark on a career in Paris to become a full time rapper/musician. (if you don't believe me check www.myspace.com/kisstheas. video will be finished on the 13th september so be sure to check that out!
My favourite films include Cool Hand Luke, He Got Game, Point Break, Totall Recall, The Squid and The Whale, The Family Stone, A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, Gattaca and Leon... I know I know, I have very eclectic taste but at least you'll see where I'm coming from when I'm reviewing these films.
I've been wanting to keep a tab of the films I've watched so far so from now on. Any film I see, I will post my opinion and rate. Send this blog to your friends. If you, like me, believe in watching every film, I hope this guide will at least help you make good choices!!
