Moon on DVD

Moon: Sam Rockwell plays Sam Bell, a Lunar Industries employee who is nearing the completion of his 3-year stint on the moon. Lunar Industries is there to mine earth's primary source of energy on the dark side of the moon. Sam is alone, his only contact with other humans during his 3 years is through taped video messages sent back and forth to his family on earth. Soon a strange accident takes place which leads to a mind-bending discovery. This is intelligent Sci-Fi that I just ate up with a spoon! Sam Rockwell's performance(s) is outstanding. The film has a very unique look to it, it most definitely was influenced by sci-fi films of the late 70's. The movie is directed by David Bowie's son - Duncan Jones, who does an excellent job with the low budget constraints. I can not express how much I love a movie that gives me a surprise....and then makes me think about it. Houston - We DON"T have a problem, this movie rocks!

Terminator Salvation DVD Review

Terminator Salvation: Being a terminator fan I waited a long time to finally watch this latest chapter in the saga. I did not wait long enough....my eyes still hurt from watching this clunker. This is the 1st Terminator to take place after "Judgement Day" - and hopefully the last. The story was terrible, Christian Bale was awful and the action sequences were meaningless. I really have a tough time thinking of anything good to say about this picture. What a shame that this was my 1st Blu-Ray watch.

Blindness

Blindness: Simply put, this was the worst movie that I have seen in a good 10 years. I hated it! Was it trying to make some sort of social message….I am still not sure. Maybe it was an experiment, to see if a horrible movie like this could actually blind you. As for the plot – the entire human race is going blind. The disease is contagious so the government quarantines the blind by themselves in an old hospital. Without their sight they become savages – fighting amongst themselves for survival. To add insult to injury, Danny Glover has a small role that has him wearing an eye patch and mumbling some meaningless rhetoric. Stay far away from this rubbish - it will blind you!

The Mist on DVD

The Mist: The most fascinating aspect of The Mist is how all of the town people unanimously refer to the hazy cloud as “the mist!” Not one person veers from the consensus and argues that it should be called “a fog”. I myself would use “smog”, “fog”, “haze”, or even “the vapor” to describe the phenomenon before dubbing it “The Mist”. Oh well. The story comes to us from Stephen King - The Master of Horror (using his full title). After a wicked storm runs through a small east coast town, a strange “vapor” or “mist" if we must, rolls in. At this time, most of the people in the town (or the ones we care about) are at the local supermarket stacking up on your typical Y2K items. Now the mist is scary, but what lurks inside the mist is even scarier! In between some good frightening jolts, the story focuses on how fear affects people’s psyche especially in a religious sense as one of the ladies in the supermarket is a holy roller. As with a lot of these monster movies, the film has a little bit of a b-movie feel. If you are really into this genre of film I would tell you to Pick it Up, but for the rest of us….
