Can we declare the era of the pseudo-reality movie over already?  First there was Blair Witch.  Not very good, but at least it was original.  And it was a low budget student film.  It was a novelty.  Good?  Not really.  But at least it wasn’t something you see everyday.

Then came Cloverfield (Godzilla meets Blair Witch) and Diary of the Dead (zombies meet Blair Witch) and that one with the reporter in the apartment building which was really annoying because they showed the last freaking scene in the movie commercials over and over and over again.  I’m sure if I cared to look, I could find two or three dozen more.

Now comes District 9 (Alien Nation meets Blair Witch).  Thanks, but no thanks.

There comes a time when a gimmick wears out its welcome, and I declare this concept dead, finished, kaput.

Never thought I’d wish for more 3D movies.
