Gory Movies

Two gory movies in a row. The nausea continues.

Friday night I took in the 3D movie 'Final Destination' and hoped to see the latest in 3D technology. Oh yes I saw absolutely spectacular effects but OH MY GOD did I have to see the sickeningly gory images? I think the movie could have been successful without the graphic stuff, but I'm sure the targeted audience, the youngees enjoyed it. *---- (the star for the 3D)

Last night I saw 'District 9' and so looked forward to scenes of South Africa....and that I got. But once again the producers chose to include graphic, bloody scenes...and again I assume to attract the younger audiences. The South African accents were spot on and I found the spoofing of apartheid interesting but wondered how many non South Africans would understand the references. **--- (2 stars for the amazing special effects!)
