• Note to self: Must see “Children of Men” opening January 5th!

  Summary (from imdb.com):
  “Children of Men” envisages a world one generation from now that has
  fallen into anarchy on the heels of an infertility defect in the
  population. The world’s youngest citizen has just died at 18, and
  humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction. Set against a
  backdrop of London torn apart by violence and warring nationalistic
  sects, “Children of Men” follows an unlikely champion of Earth’s
  survival: Theo (Owen), a disillusioned ex-activist turned bureaucrat,
  who is forced to face his own demons and protect the planet’s last
  remaining hope.
