One small step for Bowie

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2010)

"You look like a radioactive tamponlike a banana with a yeast infection." Sam Rockwell's character, also named Sam, has some pretty nice one-liners in the movie Moon directed and written by Duncan Jones. Little know that Duncan Jones is also known as Zowie Bowie and that he is the son of musician David Bowie. I found this out after the movie and was glad to see that his family name wasn't used as a selling point. Not that the movie need any help. With a well- written story and screenplay it would be hard to mess a movie like this up.
Sam Rockwell did a great job acting and keeping the viewer interested in the movie even though he is really the only live actor in it. Much like Tom Hanks in Castaway. Kevin Spacey was the perfect choice for the voice of GERTY the computer. GERTY could tell you that he was going to eat you alive and make it sound like a good thing. I don't see how Sam's character didn't go crazy sooner on his three-year mission with only GERTY to talk to.
