take on the divide between science and reli-
gion. Based on the novel by astronomer Carl
Sagan who also gets a story credit along with
his wife and Peabody Award-winning writer
Ann Druyan, the film is quiet for a movie
about space exploration and because it’s
pretty brainy, it isn’t everyone’s choice, but it
is still smart and generally stirring. Stream it
on YouTube or rent it from Amazon Prime,
Google Play, iTunes or Vudu.
“Mercury 13” (2018) — Kick off Wom-
en’s History Month with the real women
who were a part of a privately funded proj-
ect to test and train women for space flight
in 1961. While the term “Mercury 13” is
misleading as the women were not a part of
NASA’s Mercury project, the work they did
is incredible and inspirational and the way
that history has largely forgotten them is a
little infuriating. The documentary follows
the lives of these 13 pilots, many of whom
flew with the WASPs in World War II and
who all had the same aspirations to reach
the stars as their male counterparts who
were chosen to fly. Stream it on Netflix.
“Jupiter Ascending” (2015) — Yes, this is
a terrible movie, but it’s one of those terrible
movies that is kind of fun to watch, despite
the ridiculousness of things like plot, acting
and visuals. Written and directed by the Wa-
chowskis, the film follows Jupiter Jones (Mila
Kunis) who appears to be an average woman
until Caine (Channing Tatum), an alien, is
sent to save her from being killed and it is re-
vealed that she is galactic royalty. Oh, she can

“Woman in the Moon” (1929) — The last
silent film of legendary director Fritz Lang
with a story by Thea von Harbou, it is the
earliest movie to depict space travel as a real
possibility rather than just a fantasy. It had
such a keen eye toward realism in terms of
space flight that it was even banned in Ger-
many from 1933 to 1945 because of similar-
ities to a secret Nazi project. With flecks of
surprisingly modern ideas including fem-
inism and rocketry, it has been compared
to the “2001: A Space Odyssey” of its day.

“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” (2016)
— Not everyone was a fan of the first stand-
alone Star Wars film, but I really liked it.
It’s true that if you’ve watched and paid any
small amount of attention to the original
trilogy, you know what fate has in store for
the main characters in “Rogue One” but it is
still compelling and a little darker than other
stories the galaxy far, far away had given.
