Moon
So yesterday I saw the movie "Moon". This movie is the story of an astronaut in the future who is in charge of gathering solar energy for earth. Well, stuff happens and it makes for a very interesting movie. I would see it if I were you.

The Road
A few nights ago I saw a movie called The Road. The Road is a post-apocalyptic story about a man (Viggo Mortensen) and his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) traveling south to reach the coast. There really isn't much more to the plot than that. It's really just a basic story of survival. Survival from starvation, the elements around them, and worst of all-- cannibals. Yep. It appears in whatever disaster that took place, there's no food really left in the world. Not any fresh food anyways. So there are many cannibals within this story.
While not being the most engaging movie, The Road is an interesting tale of how the world may be if some untold disaster did in fact destroy all vegetation and stuff on earth. Go and see it.

Movies
Man. Have I been watching a lot of movies this weekend. So far it totals to...four. Let's see, there was Liar Liar, Shrek 2, Yes Man, and Terminator Salvation. The only one i've seen before was Shrek 2, which I've always liked. I enjoyed them all pretty much though. Here's my impressions on these things.
Shrek 2
This movie I believe is my favorite from Dreamworks' abysmal CG kids movies. Shrek 1 was also good, but I like this one more so. Anyways, Dreamworks sadly thought they needed to make a third Shrek movie a year or two ago. I had no urge to see it at all, do to the obvious money-grubbing nature of the movie. Same thing as all those direct to DVD sequels that Disney keeps popping out. *sigh* Almost forgot, they're making a fourth one. Oh my goodness. This never needed to be done...ever. Well, I guess i'll just stick to the brilliant Pixar movies for animated joy.
Terminator Salvation
Alright. The Terminator series is pretty awesome. By that I mean Terminator 1 and 2 were amazing...3 was action-full but not really good. It was a reason to make more money. I still enjoyed the action parts. And of course the TV show i didn't watch. meh.
So here we have Terminator Salvation...hmm...well it's not like the first 2. Still full of action, but not that much uniqueness. I think we've all seen enough human v.s. T-800 fights. geez. I guess Salvation did add motorcycle terminators...but they werent that cool and had USB drives installed for some reason. Eh. Oh well.
The biggest problems I had with this movie is 1) I didn't feel for the characters (almost as bad as in Public Enemies) and 2) John Connor is some superhuman robot-killing menace. He will. not. die. So many times he should have died, and didn't. yeesh.
All in all, I did enjoy this movie. There really isn't an alternative for robot v.s. human fights (except maybe Transformers...)
Liar Liar
Brilliant. Truly one of Jim Carrey's best. If you don't like Carrey, then you'll hate this, but otherwise....yeah. I loved it.
Yes Man
Liar Liar
- 50% of Jim Carrey's extreme humor
= Yes Man
Still good. Funny Stuff, but it seems they were trying to make another Liar Liar-esque movie.
So yeah. Overall a decent movie weekend. I'll post again if I see any more.
