This week on Reel Spoilers we bust out our flux capacitors and travel forward in time to 2154 for Neill Blomkamp’s latest work, Elysium. Blake and Dan were gone this week, so we brought in intrepid Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa Steve to discuss the film. He does such a fine job, you won’t even notice […]
Movie Review: ‘Elysium’ Excels in the Hands of ‘District 9’ Director Neill Blomkamp
Author: Kevin Brackett Neill Blomkamp took Hollywood by surprise in 2009 with his independent Sci-Fi thriller Distict 9.

Movie Review: ‘Elysium’ Starring Matt Damon, Sharlto Copley, Jodie Foster
Unless you’re South African or were a huge fan of Nike’s Crab commercial, there was probably a pretty good chance that before 2009, you’d never heard of Neill Blomkamp. Hell, I still had to Google his name to make sure I spelled it right. After the release of District 9 though, one of the biggest sleeper hits […]
Jodie Foster, Matt Damon, Sharlto Copley to Star in Neill Blomkamp’s Next Film “Elysium”

The two have now become a hot Hollywood commodity with the surprising critical […]
Skyline
When I first saw the trailer for Skyline I was actually pretty excited. District 9 was one of my favorite films of last year. Similar to that film, Skyline boasts some impressive visual effects on a meager budget. But the last shot of that first trailer brought me two steps back in my excitement level. […]

The film is not a remake of the Slyvester Stallone film of the same name, but instead is based off of the original property. “The main […]
First Look at “Battle: Los Angeles”
District 9 was one of my favorite films of last year. One of my favorite parts about the film was how you really didn’t know that much about the story going into it. The marketing team on the film did a great job. It seemed that both critics and the general population loved it as […]
