District 9
Jeff Goldblum has had sex with Uma Thurman. As improbable as it is, this is true. Go google it. I bring this up because The Fly seems to be popular again. And, well, because Uma Thurman — HELLO!
What’s also surprising is District 9. This is a movie everyone has seen. The Fly + Black Hawk Down + Enemy Mine. Mash it all together and you have District 9. But, to get it right takes skill. The skill of noob director Neil Blomkamp (no relation to Jeff Thurmanhumper).
Not since Black Mama, White Mama has a movie so thoroughly mashed familiar grounds to create a new piece of art. Aliens are stranded on Earth. And, of course, Nigerians are there to try to take advantage of this situation. In the future, they don’t need your help getting their diamond money out of the bank. Black people will oppress you openly in the ghetto, and white people will oppress you with biological research. And then the sequel is set up.
I give it a superb:
