Dollar store find of the day, and Charlie goes to the movies
For those nights when old Donna Reed reruns just won't do the trick:
Your local 99-Cents Only store is there, for all your supplements-of-ill-fame needs.
In other news, District 9 is either an action-packed think movie with lots of gore, or a very thinky action movie with lots of gore. In fact, it might spend the whole movie transitioning from one to the other, but there's a really elegant shift in perspective happening at the same time, which I think excuses some of the excessive explodey-ness. Either way, it's a sci-fi story you haven't seen in movies before, and it achieves incredible tension, purely by dint of good direction. Neither a popcorn movie nor a genre classic, but worth a serious watch, if you're into that sort of thing.
