Moon
Posted by Greg at 01:24, 21 Nov 2009Best movie of the year for me. Hands down. Go watch it in a local cinema, or pick it up on DVD/BluRay (details beneath the trailer). Sam Rockwell in Duncan Jones' Moon:
It's one of those (unfortunately rare) movies that combine a brilliant storyline with a quality actor and tasteful directing/editing. And the soundtrack - part of which you can hear in the trailer - sets the vibe perfectly. All for a fraction of the cost of most 'blockbusters'.
Moon is now out on DVD and BluRay in the UK. The BluRay version is multi-region (despite what Amazon UK says), so US readers can purchase it if they can't wait for the January 12 release in the States:
Two other things worth noting for those that have already seen the film and loved it: Props from the film are currently being auctioned on eBay (Gerty's already gone, but there's a few things still left). And if you thought Sam Rockwell's performance was first-rate (considering he is almost the only on-screen actor for the whole film), you can join the push to have him nominated for an Oscar.

And in jaw dropping synchronicity, when I got in my car after leaving the theater and turned on the radio, Space Oddity by the director's dad, David Bowie, came blasting out of the speakers. Sometimes, you just gotta love the universe!

The day after seeing the movie with some friends, I heard Life on Mars three time. Synchronicity, or just a case of it casting light on everyday happenings?
Kind regards,

Once you understand what's going on, you'll sit there mesmerized. Rockwell's best performance by far. Too bad he'll get overlooked come awards time.

Painstakingly directed; clearly some very inspired people made this film!

I recognised the star sam rockwell as the captain beezlboob or nother in the movie hitch hikers guide to the universe. I had the feeling this moon movie was a snip of hitch hiker and 2001. Otherwise, I will try to netflix it Jan 12 09 or amazon it. Whatever.

One of his best performance is, IMO, in The Green Mile. The character he creates is both funny and creepy at the same time.
It's not the depth of the rabbit hole that bugs me...
It's all the rabbit SH*T you stumble over on your way down!!!
