Moon
Sci Fi June 22nd, 2009
I went to see Moon yesterday after the Gold Coast race. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it given that the whole cast is basically Sam Rockwell. If I was casting a movie with one actor I wouldn’t really think Sam Rockwell. But he works it, he is pretty good. Anyway, Peter Rainer from the Christian Science Monitor says, “It just may be the most boring movie ever made — period.” That’s true too. It was pretty hard to stay awake. Don’t go after getting up at 4:45 AM and running/cycling/running a race. I guess Peter Rainer is in a tri club too.

I guess Rainer hasn’t done his homework… like watching Tarkovsky’s Solyaris, clearly one of the influences of Moon, and a beautiful movie, but also one of the most soporific movies in history. Watch the whole thing here… if you have a couple pots of coffee on hand. Solyaris
