Moon (2009)


Moon staring Sam Rockwell, was a darkly fascinating film. Sam's character Sam, is working on a moon base sending energy from the moons surface back to earth, very Dune like with harvesters and a cool A.I. buddy very like HAL 9000 from 2001. This film is a little like Fight Club mixed with a little Cast Away. It's a bit of a psychological drama, with a look at how those corporate bastards are just out to screw people over.
I really enjoyed this film, Sam does a wonderful job of playing multiple roles, Kevin Spacey as the voice of the computer GERTY does a great job voice acting.... or what ever you want to call it. This film is available on Netflix for instant viewing, Totally worth the time spent!

Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008)


Holy crap it's Crap! So I watched this film on Netflix from my Wii, and I am surprised my Wii did not need a good wipe down after this crap came out of it. Lets take a classic great vampire movie and ruin it with surfing vampires and too much sex for it's own good. Ok, so Corey Feldman needed some cash, and what do we get?
Weak story, weak plot and I just got bored! Sorry thats my complaint. It just was not interesting. From Frog brothers comics to Frog brothers board shapers... LAME!!! Sorry this is a short review, only cause much can not be said.

Avatar (2010)


The much anticipated 3D film came out screaming! I had high hopes for this film and it did not disappoint. If we were to take Fern Gully and Dances with Wolves and mash them together in 3D, Avatar is what would come out.
Ok it has a relatively simple and familiar story, What I'd call Americans, have come to an alien planet in the quest for unobtanium, a resource native to the planet and a large deposit of it just so happens to be under the alien species home tree. There, as we know from history, the outsiders try to take what is not theirs not caring who they displace or kill on the way to get it.
We follow a marine who learns to love the people he is sent to infiltrate. Enough said.
This film is worth seeing, in 3D any of the flavors of 3D just don't wast your time seeing it in 2D. A film this beautiful must be seen, so go see it, I know it's getting pricey it cost nearly $30 just for my wife and I to see it, that was just ticket cost...
