District 9

   Friday night my husband and decided to see this movie with some friends.   I have no problems with most sci fi movies.  I am fairly open minded about most movies and usually wait till after I have seen the whole thing to pass judgment on a movie.  This movie however was an exception for me.    I went to see this movie having no idea who was in it or much of what it was about.  Even with all of that I still was shocked at how graphic it was.   I have seen some pretty graphic movies and had no problems watching them.  District 9 for some reason just did not sit well with me at all.  More than once I actually had to look away from the screen so I would not get ill from all the graphic scenes.   All in all it was an interesting story line but the graphic scenes in the movie turned me off.   I did not regret seeing it but think that we could have seen something better.   My best friends says to me as we are walking out of the movie that her hubby owes her for sitting through it.    I told her she should cash in two chick flicks for District 9.
