Elysium Movie Review (Major Spoilers)

By Ken Parker

Why do I always set my self up for disappointment? Elysium might have been my favorite movie of the year had I not actually watched the movie this past weekend. It has some good elements including Neill Blomkamp, who did a very good job directing and writing District 9 in 2009. I like Jodi Foster and Matt Damon has his moments. Sharlto Copley (District 9, Europa Report) is also someone I'd like to see more of in movies. So what went wrong?

Life imitates the movies: Jodi Foster comes to the aid of the search for aliens

Actress Jodie Foster memorably played a scientist searching for alien life in the 1997 film "Contact." Now, she's helping out the real-life search for signs of life in outer space.

Foster is among 2,441 private donors who came to the rescue of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute, according to a report by OnTheRedCarpet.com. Budget issues had forced the nonprofit to shut down its Allen Telescope Array earlier this year.
