Aeon Flux is a future story of human existence. A mass disease comes up to destroy the whole of the human species, but one man finds a cure. This man, Trevor Goodchild, must then spend his time trying to cure the side effect of his "cure." The people of this society are haunted by things they cannot explain. Certain people in that society desire to rise up against the regime the Goodchilds' have set up to rule over them. Aeon is one of those people - she is sent to kill the scientist...little does she know, she will discover something so much greater than what she had originally thought! I have to say, Charlize Theron...lucky! Not only did she hit the beauty jackpot - Stuart Townsend - sigh! He only turns up in the movie to make out with her and slip her a pill that reveals a secret message!
The Flying Scotsman was a really good movie. It really opens up the world of mental disorder and how much depression can screw you up. Jonny Lee Miller plays Graeme Obree, a Scotsman who loves cycling. He designs his own bike to try to beat records for cycling - like going over 32 kilometers in an hour! He reaches that only to have his record beaten the following week. He is a very driven man and he goes on to become the World Record holder in another short distance biking thingy. The World Cycling Federation (or whatever bollix it is) decide that he shouldn't be allowed to win anything, so they keep inventing new rules to disqualify him or make him change his bike to a more conventional contraption. I think one of the most touching things was seeing him overcome his demons and the judges constant challenges.
