Why just the other day we were talking about how cool the new sci-fi movie Moon looks.
It looks especially cool if you enjoy Kubrick's 2001 , but that's really neither here nor there because I
can't imagine director Duncan Jones has never seen that movie.
Here's another space oddity: The isolated astronaut who can't reach out and touch his family (Sam Rockwell) is a
slightly similar storyline to a David Bowie song about an astronaut stuck in space, and curiously enough, David Bowie... Read Full Story
Donklephant founder Justin Gardner mentioned that he was watching this, so I had to go over to MakingOf.com to check it out for myself. Though I don't expect this movie to make a ton of money, it has so many of the right components that it's definitely high on my summer movie list, like Danny Boyle's Sunshine a couple of years ago.
Based on the trailer, Moon looks like gripping, dark sci-fi with an unpredictable ending. It stars Sam Rockwell as an astronaut in the final weeks of a years... Read Full Story
You'd have to look long and hard to find a better, more underappreciated actor than Sam Rockwell . Remember that three-pack he turned in with Galaxy Quest, The Green Mile , and Charlie's Angels ? Those films help lead him to George Clooney's Confessions of a Dangerous Mind , and he simply killed it in that movie.
Ever since, though, it hasn't been easy sledding for Rockwell, but I sense he's mostly back on the radar now, thanks to a funny leading role in Choke and a good supporting turn in... Read Full Story
Perhaps breaking some kind of hush-hush embargo, Sam Rockwell gave IGN a little more information
about his role in next summer's Iron Man 2 . I dig Rockwell, think more people should have seen him in Moon earlier this year, and am glad he's getting a bigger spotlight for a change.
Now, sure, if you've read some Iron Man in your day, you know a little
about Justin Hammer, so this might not be news to you. Plus, we already knew he was leaning toward the dark side,
just based on... Read Full Story
Sam Rockwell Stars in Moon
Hey what’s up? How is your Saturday going? I just got in from a pass through Trader Joe’s (milk chocolate covered peanut butter crackers, mmm) that I made on my way home from seeing the amazing new film, Moon . All I knew about this film going in was that David Bowie ’s son, Duncan Jones is the director, and it stars Sam Rockwell (who I love to pieces). If you don’t know much about Moon , I would recommend not reading any reviews, because the element of... Read Full Story

Damn, I like Sam Rockwell . He had so many memorable roles seemingly right in a row with The Green Mile , Galaxy Quest , and even Charlie's Angels , before his brilliant turn as Chuck Barris in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind . And then it got kind of iffy. The choice of roles wasn't as strong and the good stuff was really sporadic.
Then he kind of rebounded with a supporting turn in The Assassination of Jesse James and was great this past year in Snow Angels and Choke , although more... Read Full Story
