'Attack The Block' is an alien invasion film set in South London. It's about a group of kids who are some petty thugs, who have to find the hero in themselves, when they attack.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The 'block' in 'Attack the Block' is not just a physical thing. It's people; it's families.
'Battle For The Planet Of The Apes', was just a film for kids and didn't have any deep meaning.
The kids have all seen it on DVD or videotape.
'The Lego Movie?' I've never heard of it.
The first song is called 'London.' It's about two Russian soldiers who desert the Russian army and escape to London, where they indulge in a life of crime.
I locate a great deal of the power of Occupy Wall Street in the name itself, 'Occupy Wall Street,' or '#OccupyWallStreet.' It works because the name contains everything you need to know: the tactic and the target. The name is also modular. You can create your own offshoot in your own city.
'Homeland' is a thriller with a lot of cloak and dagger spy stuff, which is one of the things that makes it so much fun.
There was a band in Australia named Midnight Oil, and they were a very, very political, and they literally hit you over the head with a hammer. U2 sometimes can hit you over the head with a rubber hammer.
The beauty of doing film is that you construct whatever you do block by block and you can build something that will stay.
'Border' was the first movie that I watched on the big screen. It always takes me back to my childhood.
