Yeah, I enjoyed it. It wasn't Michael Clayton good but it was pretty good.

Just saw this earlier this evening. I must say I wasn't disappointed. This film really to be honest succeeds on many levels IMO. It's a Sci-Fi film with a very thought provoking story line, terrific cinematography, very good special effects (with very little or no CGI, not really sure), and above all this film contains a damn fine performance from Sam Rockwell! Seriously Oscar worthy. Now even though this movie is probably classified as being "Sci-Fi" I think that term should be used a bit loosely. This is very much a character driven piece despite all of the "Sci-Fi" elements in it. Rockwell delivers a compelling and convincing performance in what is virtually a one-man show. Rockwell plays a multi-layered character who is rich, engaging, frantic, subdued with pain, and yet quietly unassuming in nature. His character has a certain level of quirky craziness and moving vulnerability to him as well. I also enjoyed Kevin Spacey as Gerty as well. He was a nice compliment to Rockwell's character. IMO this is one of the best films of the year (might be my favorite of the year), and one of the best Science Fiction films I've seen in a long time. On that note I've also seen Sunshine which I also enjoyed immensely, however that being said between the two films Moon takes the cake IMO. I actually wouldn't be suprised to see this movie at the very least, be nominated for the Best Picture award at the Oscars either. Overall I felt that this film was stunning and certainly thought provoking. Though it may or may not be perfect, if you get a chance to see it, do yourself a favor and watch it. I don't think you'll be too terribly dissappointed, if at all. |

Wife made me watch The Proposal this weekend.
Spoiler!
As expected, the wife loved it. I did not. She's banned from the Netflix queue. |

I recently watched a couple of movies that I liked. Neither are new. One was called "Simple Men" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105411/ Kind of a quirky little movie, but good.
The other was called "Once". It's about a street performer musician who meets up with a girl who gets him to write and record his own songs. It's a good film. My only complaint is that the music itself didn't appeal to me very much, but the interaction between the actors was very good. |
