Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; Soundtrack Spanish; English Subtitles Genre master Peter Jackson produces this science-fiction film, the directorial debut of Neill Blomkamp. In DISTRICT 9, South Africa has become a haven for refugees--from outer space. District 9 Reviews: "[T]his grossly engrossing speculative fiction bears Jackson's blood-spattered fingerprints but also heralds first-time feature director Neill Blomkamp as a nimble talent to watch."-- Justin Chang, Variety 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[The filmmakers] have stealthily laid the artifacts of these dark days beneath the guise of an Alien invasion movie that is intense, graphically novelistic and just funny enough to keep thoroughly entertained, even while the subtext is of a very serious nature."-- Tim Cogshell, Box Office "[I]t's a helluva movie. No true fan of science fiction -- or, for that matter, cinema -- can help but thrill to the action, high stakes and suspense built around a very original chase movie."-- Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "You'll be wowed by Copley. His heart-rending tour de force deserves comparison to Jeff Goldblum's in THE FLY."-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "DISTRICT 9 fuses science fiction mayhem and biting social commentary as well as any film since STARSHIP TROOPERS. It's the rare alien invasion story that has the aliens running scared."-- Scott Tobias, A.V. Club "A thinking person's sci-fie movie from an inventive director...DISTRICT 9 revels in the fun of mashing up narrative styles..." -- Grade: A-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly 3.5 stars out of 4 -- “With its clever faux documentary style, this is the most imaginative science-fiction movie to come along in years.”-- Claudia Puig, USA Today "DISTRICT 9 is very smart sci-fi, but that's just the beginning; it's also a scathing social satire hidden inside a terrific action thriller....It's a blast..."-- Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times 3 stars out of 4 -- "[A] seamless merger of the mockumentary and special effects. And there's a harsh parable here about the alienation and treatment of refugees."-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "[O]ften inventive....DISTRICT 9 begins in cinéma vérité style with a collection of talking heads..."Wall Street Journal "[The filmmakers] embed their ideas in an ingenious, propulsive and suspenseful genre entertainment, one that respects your intelligence even as it makes your eyes pop..."-- A. O. Scott, New York Times 4 stars out of 5 -- “[A] fascinating sci-fi specimen....The historical resonances only enhance the film’s blazing neo-realism, as does the dizzying, docu-style camerawork...”-- Matt Mueller, Total Film District 9 | List Price | $28.96 (You save $7.53) | | Orig Year | 2009 | | CD Universe Part number | 7579528 | | Catalog number | 27514 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | New District 9 DVD release date Dec 22, 2009 | | Rating | R (MPAA) | | Running Time | 112 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled | | Movie Details | Color; Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled |

PUNISHER: WAR ZONE, the third screen appearance from Marvel Comics' angel of death, continues the saga of Frank Castle, normal New York City citizen turned Mafia-slaying vigilante following the murder of his wife and daughter. Upping the violence level to the intensity of a horror film, this outing requires no prior knowledge of the character's screen antics and features an appealingly stoic performance from Ray Stevenson, who cuts an imposing physical presence, and is a more-than-worthy successor to previous Punishers Dolph Lundgren (1990) and Thomas Jane (2004).
Six years after the death of his family, Frank Castle is still waging war against organized crime in New York. After he ambushes a party for an aging mob boss and turns it into a bloodbath, the battle moves to a recycling warehouse where Castle pushes gangster Billy Russoti (Dominic West) into a swirling vat of broken glass. During his escape, Castle accidentally shoots one of the FBI men who have arrived on the scene. Russoti undergoes plastic surgery, but after seeing his badly disfigured face for the first time, he shoots his surgeon and dubs himself "Jigsaw." While a deeply regretful Castle attempts to make amends with the widow (Julie Benz) of the agent he ...

Those prepared to hate the reboot of STAR TREK--whether they’re diehard fans or those in the anti-sci-fi camp--may be convinced to lower their shields after seeing this fun, action-filled film. Best known for creating mythology-driven series like LOST, J.J. Abrams has imbued his version with the elements that have made his shows such mind-bending entertainment while still keeping the soul of the saga intact. STAR TREK begins with an attack by an impossibly advanced Romulan ship captained by the tattooed, snarling Nero (Eric Bana). Among the survivors is the infant version of James T. Kirk (Chris Pine), who grows up to wreak havoc on the Iowa countryside. When Captain Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood) meets an adult Kirk, he encourages him to join Starfleet, giving him the opportunity to meet Spock (Zachary Quinto), Uhura (Zoe Saldana), and the rest of the characters audiences have loved for decades.
Abrams has assembled a fine cast who seem to be aware of their predecessors but never resort to impressions. Both Quinto ...

Writer-director-producer Michele Maher uses her two years' experience working in the New York City fashion industry to create the fanciful and fun GARMENTO, an independent film set in the ruthless world of Manhattan's rag trade.

Malone is shocked when she quickly gets a job at Poncho Ramirez, a company that is desperate for a big hit. When her suggestion of going back to Ramirez's roots as a hot 1970s jeans designer results in the rejuvenation of the ...

District 9 DVD
This collection of zany comic shorts is split between live action films and animation pieces. SAVING RYAN'S PRIVATES is a one gag parody, with the contrast between the soaring score and the silly antics providing far more humor value than the endless synonyms for male genitalia. In BOY NEXT DOOR, a teenage brother and sister taunt each other as both lust after their hunky male neighbor. Directed by Carl Pfirman, the film is finely crafted, but offers limited laughs. JACKPOT, directed ...

Jennifer Venditti makes an astonishing directorial debut with BILLY THE KID. A New York City-based casting director, Venditti discovered the 15-year-old Billy Price while working on a short film in Maine. Misunderstood by seemingly everyone around him, Venditti decided to return to the small town with a camera to follow Billy around for a week and let him tell his own story. The result is an exhilarating work of nonfiction that is both heartbreaking and hilarious. Billy has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, yet Venditti doesn't call attention to this diagnosis. Instead, she follows him in a vérité fashion and allows him to speak for himself. And speak he does. A well-read, thoughtful young man, Billy unleashes quotes and references that will leave viewers dazed and amused (his spectrum covers everything ...

Though HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN director Alfonso Cuaron still holds the crown for best film in the series, David Yates is making an attempt at a coup with HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE. Dark, gleefully funny, and beautifully shot, this adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s novel should please fans despite numerous changes to the 650-page source material. In this sixth film in the series, Harry’s (Daniel Radcliffe) inevitable confrontation with the dark wizard Voldemort grows closer, and Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) wants the young student to be prepared. He guides Harry through a memory of a young Voldemort, but an important moment is missing. Harry must extract this memory from the new Hogwarts teacher, Horace Slughorn (a perfectly slimy Jim Broadbent), who is as eager for fame as he is reluctant to revisit this painful moment. Meanwhile, romance rules the school of witches and wizards, ...
