mornin' sunshine

last night I finally watched Sunshine. Twice! first the film, then the commentary w/Dr. Brian Cox. I had missed it when it was released in the theaters & was waiting anxiously for the dvd to arrive.
the movie is visually stunning & very provocative in it's approach to the subject matter. the actors all do fine jobs in their roles, especially Cillian Murphy. even Chris Evans, who I absolutely hate, was quite good.
Brian Cox did a great job in his commentary of explaining all the things that might have gone over viewers heads. lord knows he did a great job filling in all the holes in my science knowledge, as well as bringing incredible insight into his role as science adviser on the film. I've been a big fan of his for some time, so it was a real treat to hear him talk at length here.
next up is the commentary from director Danny Boyle. time constraints prevent me from that atm. perhaps sometime this weekend.
