Moon

Directed by the son of music icon David Bowie (Duncan Jones), Moon, starring Sam Rockwell in the lonely lead role, is a mesmerizing, inescapably thrilling kind of a film.

The 28 Films: What Happened?

Ask pretty much anyone and, unless they have awful taste in movies, they will, undoubtedly, think that Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later is a great film: classic, you might say. And it couldn’t really be much better in the intelligent shock / gore department, could it? The brit film is a landmark in horror and features some of the most disturbing horror / suspense scenes in recent years, bar none.

Personally I support the second opinion and I got certain in my belief after seeing “The Exam”-a thriller that caught my attention and truely surprised me with its simple, at first sight, plot and at the same time complicated and fascinating scenario.

This UK made film by paranoid pictures was the gem of this years Sundance film festival and is possibly best described by the man not quite behind the camera Banksy as, “the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed.”
