If you haven't seen District 9 (I liked it better than The Hurt Locker), you're missing out on one of the best acting performances of the last couple years.  The lead, Sharlto Copley, provides an incredibly plausible and forceful portrayal of a man turning into an insectoid alien.  If there's an emotion he doesn't convey over the course of the film, I'm not sure what it would be.  And he gets to vaporize people, which is cool.  I sure hope this is a breakthrough role for Sharlto, but if this doesn't do it, his upcoming turn as The A Team's Capt. 'Howling Mad' Murdock is likely to cement his stature in the hearts and minds of at least the 18-35 male demo (gosh, I miss that demo).

Just FYI for ya.
