An astronaut movie more like Solaris and nothing like Apollo 13.

Why: A great scifi plot, Sam Rockwell, an amazing actor who has so far skimmed slightly under the radar, and Kaya Scodalerio from Skins, my favorite show from 2008.

A novel by Shane Jones about a war waged by a group of balloonists against the month of February.

Why: It’s about a war. Waged by balloonists. Against the month of February! And Jesse Ball has good things to say, who wrote the lovely Samedi the Deafness.

A romantic comedy set in the world of battle re-enactments, about an irresponsible guy who has to shape up in order to win back his wife.

Why: Battle re-enactments and love. And Ewan Bremner!

Florence and the Machine

Her debut album should be out this year on Island.

Why: Her single Dog Days are Over is basically a spiritual experience, and she plays with MGMT, who put out my favorite album from 2008.
