UFOs
District 9 (2009)
The unknown Sharlto Copley is simply wonderful as the hapless Wikus, and some impressive CGI is used to excellent effect, especially in the rip-snorting final half hour. Destined to become a cult classic and perhaps, to a certain degree influential (and undoubtedly yet hopefully to a lesser degree, a template for copycats), District 9 is one of the most enjoyable films of the year…

The Nazca Lines
High on an arid plateau in Peru, some 300 figures and geometric shapes are etched into the sand. The Nazca desert, south of Lima, is home to one of the most enduring mysteries of South America.
