SCI-FI VS. COMEDY @ THE BOX OFFICE THIS WEEKEND

AFTER LAST WEEKENDS BLOCK"BUST"ER "G.I. JOE RISE OF COBRA" DISSAPOINTED MANY, WHAT MOVIE WILL STEP UP AND NOT SUCK ASS THIS SUMMER??? A COMEDY OR A SCI-FI??? THIS WEEKEND TWO MOVIES DROP THAT I WILL MOST LIKELY GO CHECK OUT STRICTLY BASED ON THE FACT THAT ONE LOOKS VISUALLY APPEALING WITH CRAZY SICK CGI AND THE OTHER HAS JEREMY PIVAN IN IT.. NUFF SAID!! FULL SYNOPSIS AND TRAILERS BELOW... BEWARE OF SPOILER ALERT THANKS TO www.IMDB.com



DISTRICT 9

Thirty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare - they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable - he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9

THE GOODS "LIVE HARD SELL HARD"


A smooth-talking jack-of-all-trades attempts to save a struggling car dealership from certain bankruptcy in this comedy starring Jeremy Piven, directed by Chappelle's Show creator Neal Brennan, and produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Gary Sanchez Productions. Don Ready (Piven) takes sales seriously; he's always up for a challenge, and he parties as hard as he works. Approached to help an ailing car dealership from falling into the red, Ready recruits a crew of his best men and descends upon the quiet town of Temecula determined to succeed. Before long the dealership is flourishing and Ready's crew are kings of the roost, but what happens when the man who made his mint by hustling cars meets the one woman who isn't charmed by his formidable skills as a salesman. Realizing this may be his one shot at true love, Ready starts working overtime to convince the woman of his dreams that he's the best bargain on the lot. Has the hustler finally found his soul, or is he so locked into his anything-goes lifestyle that there's no looking back? Ving Rhames, Ed Helms, James Brolin, and David Koechner co-star.

When superstar George Simmons (Sandler) is diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia, he's forced to re-evaluate his life and begins a friendship with Ira Wright (Seth Rogen), an up-and-coming comic who idolizes George and whom George reluctantly mentors.
