One of the best movies of the year, Moon is so much more than a story about a space station, and with a standout, virtually one-man performance from Sam Rockwell, hopefully those in the know will take interest come awards season.
Thriller
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant
An interesting story that doesn’t really deliver on its potential, this one may get in on the big vampire train making its way through pop culture, but its inability to find itself is disappointing.
Pandorum
Nothing we haven’t seen before, Pandorum is still a suspenseful take on the “lost in space” theme that sci-fi fans will enjoy.
The Informant!
Often funny and always well-acted, it’s sometimes a bit inconsistent, but still proof that Matt Damon can handle just about anything.
Duplicity
More character-driven spy romantic comedy than espionage movie, this film harkens back to the classic days of the “star” film, and for the witty back and forth alone, this is better than you may have heard.
Whiteout
Whiteout could’ve been a taut, suspenseful crime thriller, but instead, it’s a lot of bad dialogue and dull mystery that leads up to a lackluster climax — but the snow is pretty.
