Fake Plastic Trees & Houses

The idea of deceiving the enemy as to what you are doing is not new. Trying to hide individual items from observation is not new, trying to hide whole factories from aerial bombing during The Second World War was new

After December 7, 1941 the Lockheed and Boeing aircraft factories along the West Coast were put under netting to try and hide them from Japanese aircraft attack. The Boeing plant went even further with fake houses and trees over the factory. The effectiveness of this was never tested – no Japanese aircraft got anywhere near these factories, but it did instill the sense of the war, the collective threat, to the people not on the front lines in those areas

Misfits But You Know It

Attack The Block
Menaces II Society’s Rescue
Official Website | Trailers & Mo
R | 88 min

For some reason, aliens always land in highly caucasian areas.  So what if some aliens landed in the hood (where some white folk also happen to live)?  Could the hoodrats stand a better chance than the white collar crowd??????  Such is the question that no one asked cept writer/director Joe Cornish, and he answers it in his Attack The Block.  With a crew of novice actors (including John Boyega, Leeon Jones, et al) + a few seasoned ones (Jodie Whittaker, Nick Frost, and Luke Treadaway), a soundtrack by Basement Jaxx, and a teeny budget under 9 million £ss, Cornish makes good use of what he has at his disposal for a solid and fun run through the urban jungle.  It’s hactually quite impressive what he pulled off with so little.  His CGI furry aliens with glowing teeth look more believable than most CGI creatures that run amok in mucky big budget disasters!!

And while we did have a jolly good time watching this (it’s hard not to), we will say that it did not fully live up to the post-SXSW hype.  Guess what, it’s not the best movie of the year.  Attack The Block thinks itself mad super dope cool, clever and hilarious, but we didn’t love it as much as it loves itself.  Hell, it’s not even on par with the brilliant Misfits.  Wait, you haven’t been watching the best show on telly for the past 2 years??  Attack that block (on Hulu) before you attack this one
