Where's Chappie when you need him? Hanging out in District 9 probably...

Open Grave. This was a pretty sweet flick. It reminded me a lot of Lost, but instead of scientists dressed as hobos, The Others were zombie-like plague victims. So it goes like this, guy wakes up in a pit full of dead and decaying bodies, with zero memory, played by Sharlto Copley, who is a great actor! Convincing in all his roles as far as I'm concerned! So with the help of a mute woman he gets out of the pit and meets a group of strangers all with the same memory problems. Are they friends, enemies, who knows?? So they all slowly trust each other, and start exploring... I want to say 'the island' but that's just Lost sneaking up on me again... They find abandoned buildings, living quarters, and of course, cells. And as they explore memories start to return and the disturbing truth is exposed! But of course you'll have to watch to find out. Thomas Kretschmann pops in there as one of the memory stricken, and does a pretty sweet job of losing his marbles! Check out Stalingrad sometime, another cool pic with Tommy in it! And seeing that I'm mentioning other random movies, if you haven't seen it, check out Sharlto's Europa Report, pretty sweet! Well there it is... Peace!
