Has any one else seen this movie, "Children of Men"? Man, I feel like I'm in on some kind of global secret. Lesa and I went to see it last weekend based on a cool looking preview, the fact that it was directed by Alfonso Cuarón (Y Tu Mama Tambien), and that it got an 8.1 out of 10 on metacritic.com.
I'm so glad we did. It's an incredible movie. I don't know why there isn't more talk about it. Or maybe there is and I am somehow missing it. Does it have a bad publicity team? Is it because it takes place in England and not the U.S.? Is it because it doesn't have any huge huge stars? I mean Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, and Michael Caine are no slouches but they ain't Ben Stiller.
I can't figure it out, it's kind of a huge movie, seems like more people should be talking about it. Anyway, I recommend it...unless you are looking for a walk in the park kind of movie...this one's no walk in the park.

Your post was the first I'd heard of it. And then I read a short, positive review of it in Rolling Stone (the one with James Brown on the cover). Sounds like a film well worth seeing. Then again, I'm also itching to see the new Ben Stiller one about the night museum guard. Proving once again that I am partly intellectual but mostly idiot.
