Today's movie was Gravity.

Mostly Sandra Bullock with a little help from George Clooney. Wry space humor from him while she floats around and tries to make it back to Earth.

I will not tell you what happens even though I think everyone knows.

I liked it. A four out of five. Yes I still do that on the web.

They care what I think.

I would post a photo but it would be all space.

I am not sure if I am going to use images on the renewed blog. Not yet.

This film got the NYTimes Critics' Pick. A good sign.

She is great. I would not voluntarily seek out a Bullock film but she owns this.

Also, I go back to space travel all the way to Captain Video on Channel Five in NYC.

I never cared for Buck Rogers and all that but began from time to time to get interested in some space fare.

Captain Video was a straight shooter and actually it was mostly a space film that used western cliches. That worked for an eight year old boy who had no interest in westerns at all.

Since then, I have avoided the genre because, paradoxically, I have a bit of a claustrophobia thing and while these all take place in outer space, the suits get me down. Space. Closed in.

This film is no exception but somehow it worked for me as she does get to take the fucking suit off often enough that even I could breathe more fully.
