This week's (a little bit awesome) new movies!
(500) Days Of Summer - the rom-com of the year that's not quite a proper rom-com but seeing as it's both 'romantic' and 'comedic' I'll call it one. Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zooey Deschanel are the cuter-than-cute couple who can't quite sit back, relax and enjoy their relationship. Smart, sassy and with plenty of cheeky winks to the audience. Quite lovely. 5 stars.
District 9 - the sci-fi of the year, that just beats Star Trek by being so full of surprises. Big ups to unknown South African director (Neil Blomkamp) and unknown South African star (Sharlto Copley) Yes, they love the FX and action in this tale of an alien ghetto on earth - but this is also emotionally gut-wrenching. Prepare yourself. 5 stars.
