I don't trust that site either btw.

They only gave Idiocracy a 74%, and another GREAT recent scifi type movie, The Man From Earth, isn't even rated, for some reason.

I totally get what your saying about District 9, but did you see it?

Yeah, I saw it. I didn't care for it that much, but I didn't hate it either.

The social commentary was pretty obvious. Too obvious.

I hated the camera work too.

I thought The 4th Kind was a lot better and it really makes you wonder and think about whats happening out there. That town Nome, Alaska has all these disaperances that they blame on the weather and alcohol, it sounds like bullshit to me.

Maybe I'll check it out, I don't know.

If you like scifi, watch The Man From Earth. It's certainly not a big explosion type of movie, but does have some really neat ideas in it.

It was made for about $200k or so and has become a bit of a cult classic. It was written by Jerome Bixby, who wrote one of the favorite Star Trek episodes ever, Mirror Mirror.

It's not a movie for everyone. Someone with ADD, like DrugS, I don't think would be able to handle a dialog based movie.

I will check it out, but 4th kind is really not sci fi... Its all true, its more of a documentary with actual footage of these things happening... Its really strange, I wish someone could comment on it, I guess they have to see it first lol

Oh. I thought it was supposed to be some sort of scifi/horror flick.

I'll check it out.
