Moon
This is one of the best sci-fi and/or indie films I've seen in a long time. How can you go wrong with Kevin Spacey as the voice of "the computer" on a lonely one-man outpost on the moon? This film is the story of that one man (Sam Bell, played brilliantly by Sam Rockwell) running a plant that harvests helium-3, a super efficient and clean-burning fuel that solves all of Earth's energy problems. It's only available on the dark side of the moon, and Sam is the lucky guy spending three years up there, accompanied only by the aforementioned AI. Moon is a tense, slow burn of a movie and I don't want to give anything else away. Do NOT watch any trailers because there are a lot of spoilers out there. This is my first movie pic not currently streaming on Netflix, but it's worth the wait for the DVD. Go get it.
