Moon – Review
by john on Jun.27, 2010, under Reviews
Don’t you just love to discover great, little-known movies? Usually a friend will say something like, “You have GOT to see this!!” That usually comes with an odd twitch in the eye that adds an unspoken subtext of, “or you’ll never see your puppy again.” I embrace my friends’ recommendations, but I often wonder if they followed up their viewing with a ransom note.
Actually, we all love to give our friends movie suggestions. Hell, it’s part of why this site exists. We give our loved ones a bit of happiness when we share good movies. So think of these reviews as “Free Hugs” signs.
By now you know Moon is one of these movies I’m talking about. I was late to the party on this one and had several friends recommend it. But as each person told me I needed to see it, they reminded me of what makes these little gems so special. No one can say a damn thing about anything. Remember when a friend said you needed to see Memento? It probably went something like, “You need to see Memento. It’s about a guy with memory issues and that’s all I’m gonna say. I probably ruined it just by saying that much.” For Moon, all I got was that there was this dude who was on the moon.
And that’s all you’re gonna get. It’s on Netflix’s Instant Watch, so go take advantage of that. Quickly. Unless, you’re not attached to your puppy.

If I had known that you hadn’t seen it, I would have recommended it too. Got to see this one in theaters during its short run at the Mayan.
