remembering the films that the audience forgot
“I didn’t read reviews earlier in my career, but I read them now as I’m older. I read them all.”

It’s 50 years in the future and the sun is dying. A team of astronauts, scientists and experts were sent to reignite the sun and save humanity on earth. They failed and were never heard from again. Now, seven years later another group is sent on the same mission. Sunshine is their story. From director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland - the team behind 28 Days Later - comes this really interesting sci-fi experience.

After Monsters Ball (which I didn't think was as great as the praise it received) put him on the map back in 2001, he followed that up with the wonderful Finding Neverland. Then a couple years later he gave us Stranger Than Fiction - and has since gone on to direct a James Bond film: Quantum of Solace and World War Z. He was also the man at the helm of The Kite Runner. And then there’s Stay, which he did back in 2005.
Stay is an interesting film for me to write about here, because, while I did like it, I can see where people have problems with it. However, for me, the problems seemed to bother me much less than as much as the film completely intrigued me.
