Moon



A quick note today about a film that is very near and dear to my heart: Moon. This film opened quietly last year, and it's garnered quite a few good reviews, as well as a number of awards. Currently, there's a bit of a campaign to get Sam Rockwell an Oscar award, despite Sony providing few resources, such as screeners, for that to happen. Still, even if Rockwell doesn't get the award, it's a shining star in the Science Fiction genre, as an original SF film with a low budget and physical sets, with a kickass story that is just plain excellent. The film is out on DVD today, so if you haven't seen it yet, you should really go and pick it up.
