Whole Lotta Sole (2011)
Best little movie I've seen in years
I have always been a fan of Brendan Fraser, who excels at playing gauche clunking heroes.
The rest of the cast, though unknown to me turned in great performances. My congratulations to all involved.
I am Irish and I appreciated the humour and dialogue in this movie.
The plot kept me guessing to the end.
Acting and direction were perfect. There are plenty of LOL moments for those with healthy humour glands.
This film's quality revived my drooping spirit.
I will keep this director on my watch list-I also enjoyed Hotel Rwanda.
Gravity (2013)
Redemption
Good man and woman in outer space get their lives threatened by space debris (man made). The man is a veteran of living on the edge of Earth's atmosphere, and the woman is a genius medic who has survived the loss of of her four year old daughter through a meaningless accident
Good man rescues lost woman and formulates plan for their escape, but ultimately has to sacrifice himself to save her life. She makes it safe to a haven, but it can help her no further as there is no fuel. She loses hope and tries to commit suicide by dialing down the oxygen level.
The good man returns to her in a dream to show her how to escape. She stops her suicide attempt and takes his advice and safely gets to the penultimate stage.
She survives re-entry (only just) and struggles to escape from underwater only by ditching her previously protective spacesuit, breaking the surface to gasp Earth's good air. She says "Thank You" to nobody in particular ie God.
Did you notice the Christian icon and Buddha statue in the spacecraft? Clooney's return from the dead (in her dream)?
This is a spiritual movie of the highest cleverness, IMHO. It is also the best cinematography/cgi I have ever seen.
I suspect the worst critics of this movie may lie towards the severe end of the autistic spectrum.
