		<description><![CDATA[Moon, which I saw during it's limited U.K. run in the Summer and for the second time this morning with the newly released Blu-Ray transfer, is the best isolation movie I've seen in a long, long while, and possibly the best movie of 2009 to deal with the human condition. At least that I've seen so far.

It's rival in that regard is Up but Moon is more consistent with the theme, more gut-wrenching at it's big pay-off moments. 

It's a certain future classic. The movie that all those who reacted favourably to Sunshine two years ago thought Danny Boyle's movie would end up being until it's third act crippled the greatness of the first two. No such foul up's here.


A Criterion collection style cover design
from Sony Pictures Classic. Great job!
I didn't review Moon when I saw it during my July screening. I think I mentioned a few times in passing how much I enjoyed it, but Moon is a tough sci-fi drama to review because you can't really talk an awful lot about the main body of it for fear of spoilers. I've noticed that a lot of my blogging peers decided to take exactly the same position as I ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the first scene, a man named Colter - Gyllenhaal’s character - wakes up on a train headed through the New Jersey countryside. He has no idea how he got there and nobody he speaks to can offer him any clues, though he is told that, to his surprise, he has taken this train every day for the last three months.
...writes /film's UK reporter Brendon Connelly, describing the opening of a draft he read for The Source Code, a Jake Gyllenhaal led sci-fi movie lined up to be Duncan Jones' follow up to Moon, which will shoot early 2010 for Summit Entertainment. That's according to today's Variety.


So far, so Memento. He goes on...
After some interaction with the various characters in his train car, many of whom become more important as the story unfolds (particularly Christina… but I won’t say why, and mention her in part to just raise the question of who the female lead might be), Colter heads to the bathroom where, quite surprisingly, he finds a bomb. Unfortunately, just after Colter finds it, a cell-phone detonator is triggered and…

…he’s killed. In fact, the entire train explodes. There’s a big ball of fire and, for just eight frames of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Landing at Obsessed Towers yesterday was this piece of Blu-Ray beauty and as much of a pain in the ass this damn postal strike has been for getting review copies in on time around these parts, when p.r. publicists have the foresight to send things out via special delivery, then guys like me gets loads of lead time to devour the product before writing our review.

Good job!

I'm looking forward to my second viewing of this extraordinarily original and emotionally thought-provoking movie which is one of my favourite movies of the 2009 and for me... has to be considered for Best Actor (Sam Rockwell) and Best Original Screenplay (Duncan Jones) come Oscar balloting time. No question it has to be up for those.
Moon Blu-Ray is out next Monday in the U.K. 
and will be reviewed in the coming days.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

The nods to 2001: A Space Odyssey, the classic Andrei Tarkovsky film Solaris, and maybe a more obscure reference Bruce Dern's Silent Running are present with Duncan Jones' directorial debut Moon, one of the highly praised films that came out of the Sundance Film Festival which Sony Pictures Classics will release on June 12th in the U.S. (no U.K. date yet).

Moon feels like it belongs firmly in that late 60's/early 70's era. The time where challenging science fiction stories, even those not set in space like Planet of the Apes, were constantly being played on our screens where aliens were no longer the enemy, it was man itself and his failings as the imperfect human being. Unable to live with other people, and unable to live all by themselves.


There's been a telling shift recently back to this kind of character based science fiction storytelling, obviously with Soderbergh'sremake of Solaris, Danny Boyle's 2/3rd's classic Sunshine and even the Disney kids movie with a robot lead... Wall*E. 

And I'm so happy that in the usual mindless Summer blockbuster season, our American friends will have the opportunity to have their mind tested by a movie that isn't doing everything in it's power to make $300 million. Hopefully it ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We've spoke about first time director Duncan Jones' upcoming drama MOON a couple of times here at Obsessed With Film this year and if you haven't been hooked by the ambitious plot which follows an astronaut's decent into madness when he is stranded in solitary confinement on the moon for three years, then these images might just do it for ya.



Sam Rockwell plays the astronaut and for the most part (with the exception of flashbacks and maybe the film's opening) he is the only actor you will see on screen for two hours.



Kevin Spacey voices the computer, who similar to Hal in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, is the antagonist of the movie and heightens Rockwell's madness.



The movie, which will have a score by Clint Mansell (the guy who did the memorable themes for Darren Aronofsky's THE FOUNTAIN and REQUIEM FOR A DREAM) will be out sometime next year.

		<description><![CDATA[Kevin Spacey, last seen manipulating M.I.T. students into card counting Las Vegas casino's out of thousands of dollars, will voice the likely to be evil computer robot in the upcoming Sam Rockwell starring drama Moon.

The movie sees Rockwell isolated on the lunar surface for three years as a miner, desperately seeing out the last of his contracted work so he can get home to his wife and kids but presumably with the mental torturings from Spacey's ever present voice.


Things get worse from him however, as he finds out before the end of his deal the LUNAR coorp have decided to replace him with his own clone...
[In] Moon, that guy's got a big problem. He's been stuck on the moon for three years, and he meets his own clone. So he's got a big problem and he has to get home. Oh and he doesn't know how long he has to live. So he's got some pretty Shakespearean problems.
Duncan Jones (the son of legendary Brit David Bowie) wrote and directed the film, which has a particuarly small cast (IMDB list 6 other actors but they are mostly supporting voices back home) and will focus mostly on Rockwell's character, and him alone.
