    Disappointment 9

    The short verdict on "District 9:" Watch "Enemy Mine."

    Apparently, Peter Jackson's toadies use the same formula as the big man, himself.  Take one element of the plot from "10,000 B.C.," drop it in a straight-up action movie, add dramatic music and claim that the result "has plot."

    "District 9" wasn't the most boring thing I've ever seen but that's not a very high bar to clear.  After all, I've seen "500 Days of Summer."

    The thing that pisses me off most about this movie is that it was grossly misrepresented in its trailers.  Don't be fooled: the interrogation scene in the trailers has nothing to do with the movie.  "District 9" is nothing more than an action film with decent special effects.

    The "Prawns" were cute, though.  Especially the juveniles.
