I put the following pair of movie posters together a while back for cousin Mike:
These are the first two movies from Duncan Jones, David Bowie's son. His third movie is a World of Warcraft movie, called "Warcraft" I think, and his fourth is called "Mute," a sci-fi thing where the main character can't talk, and the whole thing looks so much like Netflix's show Altered Carbon that after all the gin I drank I got confused and started expecting Altered Carbon plot points to pay off. It wasn't bad, despite my confusions.
But these two, Moon and Source Code, are quite good and silly enjoyable. Sam Rockwell stars as basically the only character in Moon, and the plot thickens to the point that trying to describe it essentially spoils it.
Source Code stars Jake Gyllenhaal as what amounts to the last few days of a consciousness trapped in a computer program, as he spends his time trying to find a bomb on a train, a terrorist attack that's also---somehow---been trapped as the titular source code in a computer somewhere. I'm not saying it makes a ton of sense, but it was cool enough: Jake Gyllenhaal redoing the train ride and incrementally getting closer to discovering the bomb, before getting blown-up over and over. And of course falling in love with the girl sharing his train booth.
They're both good and I recommend them.
