Skyfall

Starring Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes & two gorgeous "Bond girls"

"Among the most ambitious imaginings of Bond to date: dark, supple, and punctuated with moments of unanticipated visual brilliance." -Atlantic
"
It ought to win a prize just for reconnecting with what made the franchise successful in the first place, while also repositioning the Bond films for the '10s." -Movie Metropolis

Moon

Starring Sam Rockwell & Kevin Spacey; directed by Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son).
Recommended.
Rockwell plays Sam Bell, the solitary employee/astronaut of Lunar Industries harvesting helium-3, a clean energy source on the dark side of the moon, for shipment to Earth. Near the end of his 3 year contract, an accident with the harvesting machine reveals that he is not alone after all. Spacey provides the calm, perhaps too calm, voice of GERTY, his robotic assistant that harkens back to Hal 9000 in "2001."
A throwback to the golden era of 1970s sci-fi, Moon is a long overdue and morally relevant antidote to the overblown bombast of today's science fiction. -M Pejkovic

Shaolin Soccer is on Netflix streaming. I own the DVD. I always watch it in Cantonese with English subtitles. No idea if the Netflix streaming version is dubbed or not. Stephen Chow also did Kung Fu Hustle which is even better.

Yes, a lot.

That's why I wrote "recommended."

Rockwell left it all out there- no idea why he wasn't nominated for an Academy Award.

I'm about 4 episodes in to the BBC's Sherlock. Pretty good, though a tiny bit annoying that they used the same musical style as the two movies, even though it is particularly fitting, I think.

Flight

Starring Denzel Washington, John Goodman, Don Cheadle, Kelly Reilly & Bruce Greenwood.
Director Zemeckis uses a functional alcoholic in a riveting event as a springboard to explore the intersection of morality and legality.
"Washington [plays] a substantial antihero with a genuinely tragic dimension." -Observer (UK)

I ran out of obvious things to watch on Netflix streaming and watched a couple of chick flicks.

Morning Glory with Rachel McAdams as a television producer of a failing morning news show. She does a good 'perky'. Worth a watch.

The Rebound with Catherine Zeta Jones and Justin Bartha (Nick Cage's sidekick in National Treasure). Not quite as good as Morning Glory but also worth a watch.

Recently started on Fringe. I had been dying to check it out since it was on FOX but never got around to it.

Truth be told, Joshua Jackson doesn't suck. It's pretty cool...think X-Files but a little more campy. I dig it. Rumor has it that it gets weird in the second season.

That show gets pretty out there...

Just finished a slow 10 day binge watch of Orange is the New Black. Thought it was great.
