Sam Rockwell stars in Moon, Duncan Jones' directorial debut about an astronaut about to complete his three-year stint on the moon (he was supervising helium-3 mining machines), only to discover there's a clone of himself out there. Joe Morgenstern of the Wall Street Journal cuts to the chase, "I won’t pretend to understand the movie’s deep meaning—if it has one—but I can say three things for sure: Mr. Rockwell gives a brilliant performance, the physical production is impressive and Moon made me think. Four things: It made me smile."
This weekend, the big release is the star-loaded remake of the 1970s classic subway thriller, The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3. But there are other worthy films to see, if the notion of seeing a subway movie in New York City makes you think of a packed subway during rush hour. Click through the gallery to see.

Re: Indiana Jones, I agree with Stan.
Me too.
I'm showing my kids the original Pelham 123 tonight, so they'll have a benchmark. I think the original is a magnificently understated and thrilling film, and a great time capsule of 1970s NYC. We'll see the new one next weekend; here's hoping it doesn't disappoint. It looks promising, which will be nice as so many of the remakes are whores with thick makeup.
Meh, I'm not that interested in watching Freddy Mercury take over a subway car.
Would rather watch The Hangover again.
FTW
pretty excited to see Moon tonight.
They should call it the Raping of Pelham 1-2-3. What sacrilege!
Have you seen the remake yet?
I'll just pop the DVD of the real Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 in instead. The original was great, an and an improvement on the book. This unneeded remake looks worse than the late 1990s made for TV remake filmed in Toronto. Gesundheit!
