This Rumpus piece on Moon is a great read. It's a glowing review, followed by an interview with the director, Duncan Jones. I especially like the line, "He's like a cuddly David Bowie." Being a cuddly David Bowie is an achievement in itself. We saw Moon on DVD about a month ago, and my first reaction was, you know, it's pretty good. Better than average. Plus it has Sam Rockwell,...

... brilliantly realised bit of unsettling science fiction. And yet another promising new director in Duncan Jones. Upsetting and brilliant. Here's my review - I got told off for including spoilers, so read with caution. 5. A Prophet (France) Pretty much as good as everyone says it is - where this film really impressed me was in its dual portrayal of toughness and sensitivity. It has...

... Cannes 2011 debut. Budgeted at $5m, this won’t be any Cameron sort of sci-fi, and probably not any Duncan Jones sort of sci-fi, either. While the title evidently refers to a looming planet called Melancholia, expect to see most of the action taking place on earth, as the film explores the “psychology view of a disaster.” Meanwhile, Antichrist did quite well at the Film Academy of...

Last night I watched the 2009 Sci-fi psycho-thriller, Moon, starring Sam Rockwell. The film is directed and co-written by David Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones. On top of being an excellent movie, the soundtrack also got my attention. Check out the trailer. Kevin Spacey is the voice of GERTY, the computer. Doing a little online research, I found [...] Related posts: Procrastination, Part...

... not watching the trailer. Go rent the film. Moon is a fine example of science fiction done right. Duncan Jones, son of stellar rock star David Bowie, took a story he wrote specifically for actor Sam Rockwell, and with a small crew and miniscule budget they crafted a brooding, contemplative story that examines humanity through the eyes of a man and a machine. Moon is a film that builds...

... to tell a good story about humanity. The film is directed and co-written (based on his story) by Duncan Jones (who, for completeness sake, has to be identified as David Bowie’s son, Zowie) and it is an astonishingly assured feature-length debut. There is a confidence and unfussiness to his direction, a belief in the strength of his story, and the desire to tell that story as...

The 2010 Oscar nominees were announced this morning and, as has been the case with just about every other awards event this season, one film in particular from last year was overlooked once again. I am talking about "Moon," the inventive one-man sci-fi show from newcomer filmmaker Duncan Jones. Part of the problem with "Moon" -- [...]
