Flick pick: ‘Children of Men’
May 6, 2008
Starring: Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine
Director: Alfonso Cuarón
Plot: Everyone seems to have a favorite future-dystopia novel like “1984” or “Brave New World.” Well, “Children of Men” is the best equivalent film that has been produced so far. Owen plays a jaded man who must protect a young, pregnant woman in a story that thankfully shows more hope than George Orwell’s.
