MoonMoon was my favorite movie from 2009 (I've seen most of the big name flicks of '09, yet to see Avatar though). I first saw it sometime in October or November after having wanting to see it all summer but never getting the chance to.Yesterday I got a free bluray player with a new HDTV, and I decided to pick up a couple movies (but dang Bluray is pricey don't think I'll be buying too many @ $30 each for new releases at Best Buy). Having already seen everything there was on sale I decided on The Hurt Locker and Moon. Both very good movies IMO (in a year where most movies have been Meh), I was torn between getting Star Trek or The Hurt Locker because I was already decided on getting Moon (there was only one copy left so that kinda also pushed my decision) I figured not getting two spacey movies just to vary it a bit. So I rewatched Moon with my mom last night, and that movie it just stays with you in your mind, from the isolation of the main character (played very well by Sam Rockwell) to the haunting soundtrack which was done by Clint Mansell (always does amazing movie soundtracks). What I found interesting was my mom told me the same thing today that the movie was in her thoughts all day. To me the sign of a good flick, makes you think and stays with you. Its not a long movie or over done with special effects, it was done by a smaller studio IIRC. But it looks and feels great, the lunar landscapes look great especially in 1080p. What is your favorite movie from the past year or so? LINKED MEDIA
