GRAVITY  (2013)  ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢
    D: Alfonso Cuarón
    Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, Ed Harris
Bullock and Clooney play astronauts stranded in space when debris from a disintegrating satellite wrecks their shuttle along with the orbiting station that could provide them with an emergency ride home. It's a white-knuckle flight from start to finish, a movie about holding on and letting go. The storytelling's efficient and the 3-D effects are appropriately dazzling, but what carries it mostly is Bullock, smart, strong, sexy, scared and in total command of the screen. She looks great in shorts and a tank top, and when she cries, she sheds weightless tears.
