After seeing Simon Abrams's reference (http://extendedcut.blogspot.com/2009/08/255-district-9-2009.html)to the "faux-doc style shaky cam" in this film, I decided to pass on it. Furthermore, the directors responsible for foisting this horrible technique on the world should all be taken out and horsewhipped. It is the most annoying thing in movies next to product placements. It seems to be much more egregious in action movies but who knows. Maybe it will begin showing up in Merchant-Ivory movies. Can't you see a costume drama with people sipping tea in a Venice palazzo while the shaking camera makes them look like one of those scenes in the old Star Trek TV show when the starship Enterprise is being attacked by Romulans? ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
