Big Screen Weekend:
Went to the flicks twice this weekend had some catching up to do.
First was MOON by Duncan Jones which is really good a simple cheaply but well made scfi thriller set on the moon. Excellent simple twisty story.
There's been some talk of cheap effects but I loved the Space 1999 style lunar models, that's what the moon looks like!
Sam Rockwell is excellent as the only actor! If you've not already I think you should catch it.
Next up and down to earth with a bump is The Hurt Locker by Katherine Bigelow who's always great at action . This one is set in Iraq and about UXB squad and is tense as F*CK. Excellent small cast and well done full on action. Not as comic book as some of her other films.Again if you like action I should check it out.
Weird addendum: Came out the flicks slightly wired from the tense scenes to find it all go on in the Middle of Greenwich, a guy rolling around on the floor claret every where. Fortunately I think it was old wound on his calf that had opened up and his mates where helping him but it was a bit intense.
Had to have long walk down my the river in moon light to blow away the Adrenalin!

I'm really buzzed for Moon,so glad it's goody. Have you seen Shadow of the Moon - I watched it last nigght - incredible!! But I wish I'd seen it before reading Moondust, as I'm finding it a bit of a slog. Moonwalk 1 is next on the list..
PS picked up a reggae version of Stars Wars theme last week - I may upload when I finish Moondust
