[Review] Moon


rockwell-moon-2

Moon is one of the most refined science fiction films of the 21st Century. Its a visual feast filled with intriguing themes, ideas, and it even conveys a heartfelt friendship. It is a dramatic character study that uses science fiction as a back drop for the story.

The story centers around astronaut Sam Bell who has been on the moon for three years working to supply earth with it’s primary source of energy, Helium-3. Sam Bell has been suffering with loneliness and stress, and his only companion is his loyal computer friend Gerty. Two weeks before Sam Bell gets to return home, he starts seeing things that may or may not be real.

The 15 Most Exciting Summer Movies

By Jack Giroux

2008 was a great summer for the movies. Good entertainment was had, and not just dumb popcorn movies for once. We got The Dark Knight, Wall-E, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Iron Man, Tropic Thunder, and Pineapple Express. This summer is even going to be better. Although the start was a bit shaky with Wolverine, Star Trek kicks it off right this weekend. Here are the top 15 stand out films this summer:

15- Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen

Release Date- June 24th

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen will inevitably offer no more then a lot of explosions and CGI, but with robots. While the first film wasn’t a landmark of any kind, and mostly dumb, it was fun none-the-less. The 147 minute running time for the new one is a bit bothersome, but long running times are fine when the story calls for it. My only question is do we really need to see robots fighting for that long? Its a Michael Bay movie, there will only be good action, nothing more. Even the length of the first movie was a problem, the last thirty minutes turned into nothing but repetitive action. Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen will without a doubt be a fun action movie, even if it extends its welcome.

This list intends to pay homage to recent classics that have not been given the appropriate respect. In no particular order:

1. Lord of War (2005)  - dir. Andrew Niccol

Nicolas Cage as a smooth-talking gunrunner. The opening credits alone are haunting.

Darren Aronofsky Finds A New ‘Fountain’



Celebrated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky tells MTV he is interested in revisting his 2006 masterpiece “The Fountain”:

“It wouldn’t be a ‘director’s cut,’” he said — more like an alternate story told with the addition of unused footage from the first go-round. This would be a complicated project on a couple of levels, though, and it’s at least a few years away.”

I saw The Fountain in theaters and fell in love with it right away. The project first started with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett but was scrapped and Aronosfky got Jackman and Wiesz to star. For a film that failed at the box office, I find it hard to believe Aronofsky can find the proper funding for this reimagined film. I still have full faith and can’t wait to see where this goes. I look forward to anything Aronofsky does, especially after seeing The Wrestler at the Toronto International Film Festival this year. Check it out when it hits theaters this month.
