I just saw Moon at the theatre last night. What an incredible movie that was. Kinda slow paced from the start, but the story kept getting more intriguing as it went along, and I never could have predicted how it would end. Plus, the emoticon robot puts Wall-E to shame. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I've never heard of moon but i guess i'm going to have to see now that i got a good recommendation on it.

If i can reccomend a movie to you: The Hurt Locker
An incredible story about a bomb-tech squad in Iraq.
Good plot, good action, humorous, suspenseful.

Just great.

Hey, I saw that recently too! Yes, that was an amazingly intense movie. Really made you feel like you were there, and I liked how it didn't succumb to typical bullshit Hollywood drama or political agendas.

YES! Politics should stay the hell out of the Arts media: Music, Movies, TV shows etc.. I need to see it again though. I didn't quite get everything in the ending. And that sniper scene was amazing. <3

Too bad Hollywood does not make more often those good "thinking man's" movies like Moon. I too saw Moon and I got to say that the last time I saw a serious space movie like that, was 2001: A Space Odyssey. And most of you were not even born yet when that movie first came out in theaters.

Just recently they celebrated the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11's first manned Moon mission that led to some talk from the media and to some extent from the U.S. government about man going back to the Moon, with an eventual manned mission to Mars. Let's hope this dream does not die out.

I really, really want to see this movie. Downloaded the trailer for it a long time ago and it pulled me in instantly. Sam Rockwell is awesome, too.

Well Strider, you Aussies have a documentary I can't wait to see: Love the Beast. Who knows when they'll finally release it over here. A lot of people say it's purely for car enthusiasts... and that's just fine by me.

I liked moon very much too. It exceeded my expectations in every category.
