after winning an academy award and making universal a solid all star comedy, the coen brothers decided to make this film- a low key, personal story apparently about their upbringing.. anyways, this film was so depressingly funny and poetic and posed some really solid questions about faith and ... well, basically... WHY???
beautifully photographed by their regular collaborator roger deakins, this film is an endearing and at times testing film that demands (i believe) multiple viewings! the acting is all top class by a bunch of relative unknowns but you know you're in capable hands with the coens! and talk about an ending!! phew!
7) District 9
based on the short film - "alive in joburg" - district 9 is the first feature film from director neil blomkamp! made on a budget for next to nothing, this film looks amazing! set amongst the slums of south africa when aliens have landed on earth and become stranded, therefore becoming refugees!
this movie was such a ride and it started off with a slightly unlikable main character but by the end of the film i was crying over an alien!!! it was ridiculous! and the soundtrack is tops too! i love the way the african vocals combine with frenetic bourne ultimatum-esque action music!! twists and turns and turbulent triumphs, district 9 is so, so so much fun!!!
ok, i cannot finish this list at the moment and may have to post a part 3! i am seriously struggling to make 10 films... looking at the list of films that have been released this year it is going to be tough!!!
anyways, talk soon kids!!! xox
