Columbia Pictures released a five minute segment of 2012, a $200 million blockbust that will be released next week. It looks like a lot of fun! Click on the link above to see the video.

District 9 is flat-out and hands-down the most enjoyable film I've seen this year. It is a smart, satirical, raucous and glorious pile of a film. It hits the ground running, and barely pauses for breath until the credits roll... [The film] makes its points loud and clear. Whether it's stealing riffs from Alien Nation and Robocop, nodding at David Cronenberg and Walter Hill, or firing off pin-point satires of the United Nations, apartheid, and immigration/refugee policies the world over, District 9 never drops the pace, but it also never stops thinking.

Bring it on!
