10 indie films to catch in 2009

I know, I know. Indie is kind of a dirty word. First of all, it’s rarely used in the correct context (I have even included one film in this list that is definitely NOT an independent film). Secondly, it draws connotations of arrogant, obtuse, ultra-cute or overly alienating material. And who wants to see that?

Now that’s out of the way, I’m going to use “indie” to describe films that celebrate unique vision and independent spirit. For example, films as phenomenally touching and one-of-a-kind like Paranoid Park, The Diving Bell and Butterfly and The Wrestler are rarely produced by major studios.

So think of this as your guide to the future indie classics of 2009. Each one is a must see. I highly recommend checking out each trailer, just to get a taste of something a little different to the norm.

And a shiny new penny if you can guess which one will be sold in the advertising material as “This year’s Juno!” (more…)

Almost Halo Movie Director Show the Alienz in District 9

Remember those awesome Halo shorts? Well, the director who made them Neill Blomkamp has his first full-length movie coming out, and it looks hella badass.

Neill Blomkamp originally made the Halo shorts with Peter Jackson as proof of concept for the Halo movie that he was supposed to direct. As it was to be his first film, the studios got nervous, and now that film looks unlikely to be made. So instead he made a movie based on his own ideas rather than Bungie’s.

So not only is Neill Blomkamp at the helm, but he’s again got Peter Jackson’s WETA doing the special effects for him. As for the story, it’s about a world where aliens have landed and settled on Earth. They want to leave, but we humans brilliantly make them second-class citizens and put them in ghettos while we try to figure their advanced technology out. Things don’t go well.

The movie is based on a non-Halo-related short film that Blomkamp made that you can see here. District 9 comes out on August 14th, and I will be seeing it that night. Click Read More for the trailer. (more…)
