Last night we watched Moon starring Sam Rockwell on Netflix streaming.

It was surprisingly good. I woke up in the middle of the night as I often do, and was running through the plot in my mind, thinking about it. It's a good movie. Well done.

My only beef is they didn't even try to get the gravity right. Probably the correct choice, since the real story has nothing to do with the gravity, and it would detract to see the actor bouncing around.

Sam Rockwell's adorable....and that was a pretty good flick too.

Code 46 streaming from Netflix, came up on my radar as it's science fiction, but it's only Sci fi in that it's set slightly in the future with a different social structure and technology, just like western or period drama, that's the setting not the plot. Actually it's a love story and quite tragic, well acted, a subdued tone, great photography I thought.

The Ghost Writer , drama, mystery, Pierce Brosnan is an ex british PM and Ewan McGregor is brought in to Ghost Write his biography, after a trusted aid who was working on it suddenly dies.
Pretty good, monster stayed awake to the end.

Not DVD, but close enough ... free OnDemand.

The China Syndrome

and I watched the first half of Full Metal Jacket. I like the bootcamp sequence best.

I've seen that R. Lee Ermey scene many times but never watched the whole film.

zippyt 01-23-2011 12:45 PM

you should its a good flick

we recently watched Sweeny Todd , Singing Slasher flick , Verry weird !!!

wolf 01-23-2011 02:24 PM

I agree with zippyt on that one. I actually went to see it with a Vietnam Vet who said it was the best of the 'Nam movies that were quite in vogue at the time.

I always boggle that the locations were all in England. Even Hue.

Repo Men ... wtf? was that Bobby Ewing getting out of the shower?

The Machinist - Christian Bale really brings it, two thumbs up.

I gave up watching when he went and picked himself up after he crashed the mining vehicle. I tried watching again when I caught it already showing on a movie channel...there were three of him!!!

"Buried" is an OK movie, a little slow at times. Nice plot twist.

It also features the most fuel efficient Zippo lighter in the history of fire.
