Moon

Sam Bell is a lonely guy. For almost three years he’s been alone on the moon working as a miner, his only companion the ship’s chatty computer. His long contract with the Earth-bound mining company is almost up, though, and his replacement – and his ride back home to friends and family -- is en route. Then something goes horribly wrong. Giving away anything else about director Duncan Jones new film, Moon, would spoil the fun of watching it. Suffice it to say that this highly entertaining Sci-Fi film is the kind of film that will not only give you your money’s worth while you watch it, but also give you the added bonus of having a lot to think about – and talk about –when it’s over. And while it isn’t the kind of movie that screams ‘Oscar bait’ it features one of the best performances you are likely to see on celluloid this year from the very talented Sam Rockwell. Most actors would have a very hard time holding your interest all alone – or virtually alone – up on the screen for more than a few minutes; Rockwell’s same Bell keeps you absolutely riveted.
