One Day Sam Rockwell, POW! Right to the Moon!
Moon
starring Sam Rockwell, Kevin Spacey
directed by Duncan Jones
Going in, I didn’t know much about this movie at all. It was kind of nice for a change; I had no expectations going it. To be honest, I’d never even seen a trailer. I only knew that it had something to do with, well, the Moon, and [...]

Land of the Lost. “Dude, you were dueced by a dinosaur.”
This one’ll be short. There’s honestly not too much to say.
Land of the Lost
starring Will Ferrell, Anna Friel, Danny McBride
directed by Brad Silberling
