This was the best movie I have seen in a very in a very long time and immediately jumps into my favorite movies ever. MOON puts a relatable human touch on an intriguing and deep sci-fi story that, while it originally appears to be taking the path of 2001 Space Odyssey, is a unique adventure. Sam Rockwell puts on a spellbinding performance and Kevin Spacey's GERTY voice-over is eery and excellent. I have never seen a movie that had me so engrossed and intrigued from beginning to end. Some may say the film starts slowly but I found the first half hour to be an important and gripping portrayal of what it would mean to be alone in space, without which the movie would not be as effective. I don't want to ruin the plot so I wont go into further detail. As an avid movie watcher who is not a sci-fi buff I would recommend this movie to anybody who wants to see a movie that will take over their lives for 2 hours and have you leave the theater wanting to do nothing but discuss how beautifully layered it was.

No Country for Old Men
(2007)
gripping
25 November 2007
"No country for old men" is quite possible the most gripping movie i have ever seen. It takes what is a fairly simple story and through the complexities of Chigurh and the sheriff makes it deep and fascinating. Bardem absolutely deserves an Oscar for Chigurh. What makes the movie so appealing is that it doesn't sacrifice it's suspense and action to be deep, and as a result you don't want to look away, and throughout the movie you continually wish there was still at least another hour left. It isn't a crappy thriller where the action is the only thing that keeps you watching, or a horror movie where you want to look away but cant. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen and i can't stop thinking about this movie.
