Source Code on Saturday afternoon. Looks sweet. BIG fan of the director's previous movie (the sci-fi gem Moon with Sam Rockwell).
From Netflix is the internet porn drama Middle Men with Owen Wilson. It sounds like sleazy fun and I've long been a fan of George Gallo (Midnight Run, Bad Boys).
Still have a bunch of HD On Demand options...
Seeing "Source Code" at 4:00. The reviews are glowing, the trailers are excellent, it's sci-fi...SO YES I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
ReplyDeleteAlso wanna see "Insidious."
And I'm seeing "Your Highness" at a screening on Tuesday, as well as "Hanna" on Thursday.
Just saw "Source Code" and all I can say is what a great film. Although the action was a bit lacking the story was solid. The writing was great considering it was Ben Ripley's first real foray into writing something serious with a hyped release. Also Duncan Jones did a great job by directing which should be expected since he was the director behind Moon which was a generally liked movie. Jake Gyllenhaal's performance was as good as his performances in Donnie Darko and Brokeback Mountain which was a good for the film because of it's need for strong acting. Also Michelle Monaghan did a good job portraying her part in the film alongside Jake and was not lost in his shadow. Overall I would give this film a 3.8/5.0 for an original and surprisingly good story and good acting.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all that you say below, Peter. Loved it. You should check out Moon if you've never seen it. Jones is now a certified big-shot.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite film of the year, actually. Smart, thought-provoking and purely, breathlessly thrilling. I could watch it over and over and over, etc.
