Moon (2009)
Very good Sci - Fi about energy renewal using resources on the moon.
The AI Computer voiced by Kevin Spacey,starring Sam Rockwell.
Unusual twist,not what i thought it was going to be. 10/10

Been looking forward to seeing Moon, actually.
I recently watched World's Greatest Dad starring Robin Williams and written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait which is funny in places and bent-up in other places (with Bobcat involved why am I not surprised?).
Robin Williams is an aspiring (but terminally rejected) writer and a school teacher whose wife recently passed away.
His bottom son also attends the school where he teaches. Everyone at the school hates him, with good reason. The kid is an out-and-out foul-mouthed, totally disinterested, deviant, spending most of his time looking at porn on the internet or talking about porn on the internet. He even engages in auto-erotic asphyxiation!
Spoiler (hover to show)Ultimately this practice leads to the kid's death. Williams, not wanting anyone to know how his son actually dies, sets it up a suicide and writes the obligatory note.
The note becomes at hit and everyone who formerly hated the kid now says that his suicide note has deeply moved them. Williams is stunned that his work has finally been accepted and eventually writes his son's journal, which gets published as a book.
And the book becomes a huge hit, everyone starts to act like they loved Williams' son, and even offers for films start rolling in.
So Williams' dilemma is whether or not he should reveal that his son wasn't the author, or ride his dead son's coattails as he becomes a successful writer.
It's not a great movie, but it's not terrible either. It is a very dark comedy tho'...

We did a write up on this movie a couple of months ago Jack, dont know if you had a chance to read it or not? I thought it was a VERY good movie. And Bobcat shown through with flying colors. I think the majority agreed with your evaluation though.

Just watched a clip. The only thing I can speculate on is if the ending is as obvious as it appears then I dont want to see it. PLEASE, everyone else watch it and then post whether my guess is true to form. If not, then Im there!!!
Spoiler (hover to show) ie Jacobs Ladder, Sixth Sense, etc.
