The film "Moon" is out in limited release this week, but has been on the film festival circuit since January. Just the title alone wouldn’t make me go see this movie, but after reading more about it and watching clips, I’m definitely interested.

The premiere of "Star Trek" didn’t get a red carpet premiere; it got a black carpet premiere.
