Moon - I'd never heard of this and it was recommended to me on Netflix's instant streaming, so I thought I'd give it a shot. It's a pretty solid sci-fi / psychological drama starring Sam Rockwell as a lone astronaut (OR IS HE????) manning a fuel mining station on the moon. Heck, aside from Kevin Spacey's voice, it pretty much only has Sam Rockwell in it. It's a pretty understated story, and it kept me interested throughout, and Rockwell does a great job carrying the film along. The special effects are simple but effective, which was a nice change of pace from most other recent sci-fi movies that constantly throw CG animation in your face. Well worth a watch. A-

Watched Knowing by myself after I got tired of playing games. Such a polarizing movie, I think it's quite good but so many people hate its guts for some reason. I can partly understand why, but some criticisms leveled against the movie are really unfair IMO.
I might make a thread about it because I thought we could discuss the Christian symbolism and imagery contained in it. But now I'm too tired so it'll have to wait, have to get some sleep in.
Anyway, I had fun with it and it was very nice to have a night for myself to play a good game and watch an entertaining movie.

I haven't seen Knowing (sadly).
Roger Ebert's brilliant review made me want to see it after initially scoffing.
Plus, it has Rose Byrne.

You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling him about Mohammed in the same breath. You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal’s death...

I rather liked Knowing. 
And I just watched The Social Network... which I also rather liked.
Not sure about the guy playing the new Spidey. I see him being alright for the part... but not so much if he's still in high school. :/

Meh. I've seen worse, but that isn't exactly at the top of the heap.
Also, Angelina Jolie makes a ugly man.
