Listen, why don't you relax. Why don't you take a pill, bake a cake, go read the encyclopedia.

Rating: 10/10

So many people have told me I will adore this film. It's set in space, it stars Sam Rockwell, it's basically right up my street. I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to get round to watching it. I missed out on watching Moon's BBC preview at the end of last year, but I knew that the first time I watched this, I wanted to look back over some of the director and production team's tweets I caught that night. A quick query in the twittersphere and I was helpfully pointed to a Storify of  all the fun stuff. 

Pillows plumped up, laptop in hand and I was ready to go.

Within five minutes I was so involved in the film I forget that the tweets were there. It says an awful lot for Sam Rockwell's talent that he can command your attention throughout a film where his main interactions are with a computer (voiced by Kevin Spacey) and himself.

It's hard to describe Moon,  not without giving things away. If you haven't seen it, seek it out. This is a wonderful piece of film-making.

It wasn't brains that brought me here; I assure you that.

Rating: 7/10

In the least eloquent way possible, I will describe this film as thus: a group of beautiful people, wearing shiny suits, sit around a large table and talk about finance for almost two hours.

Somehow, I really enjoyed it. I think it was the solid cast of actors I like watching, who managed to make the dullest of all financial talk a little easier to understand.
