Just watched District 9 - What a movie.

It's a belter isn't it? The best sci-fi since the glory days of the Alien Franchise (though I'm a sucker for the gore-fest of the AVP films). Didn't you think the sentimental ending of D9 was the perfect touch? I had tears in my eyes!

This is England - and a lot of other Shane Meadows' stuff (though it gets slack when he resorts to known actors who get in the way of the essence of it) - the TV sequels to This is England were pretty good too, harrowing & insprational by turns. Near perfect storytelling though.

Just for the music I'd say Duck You Sucker is one of the most inspirational films ever even if does fizzle out in a blaze of not very special effects.
