Film: Moon (2009)
Director: Duncan Jones

Running Time: 01 hour 37 minutes
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.

Film: Seven Psychopaths (2012)
Director: Martin McDonagh
Starring: Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken and Woody Harrelson
Running Time: 1 hour, 50 minutes
Rating: 4/10

Seven Psychopaths is the tale of a screenwriter who gets caught up with the wrong people when his best friend, a professional dog-napper, takes the dog of a local, slightly mental, criminal.

I had such high hopes for this, it has a brilliant cast and I have so much love for Martin McDonagh's previous outing, In Bruges, but there was something about it that didn't connect for me.

Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken both excel but I felt like they were acting uphill against a script that was nowhere near as tight as it could have been. This film had so much potential but, for me, something was lacking. The story seemed disjointed in places, it didn't flow in a way that made a lot of sense. There were some moments I found myself chuckling (mainly down to the wonderful Sam Rockwell) but overall I wasn't impressed.

Although, it would appear I was alone in this, the rest of the screen were laughing throughout. I've decided I must be odd. Go see it, I might be a lonely person fighting against the tide (it wouldn't be the first time, I'm the only person, it seems, who does not like Anchorman).
