Just watched The Martian. Damn...one of the better movies ive seen in awhile. Im a ridley Scott honk but i know he can be hit or miss but man this was pretty damn good.

Cant remember if there was much buzz in this thread or not.

Anyway, i'm not sure how accurate the science was (i get the feeling it was somewhat accurate), but i like how it explained the science in a way that wasnt boring as hell.

Can't wait to watch it again.

the martian is the anti-Interstellar, btw, for those of you who hated interstellar

Sicario was decent, minus some distractingly bad CGI in a few parts.

yes, the martian was very good i thought.

Pretty accurate actually. Not everything, but not any glaring like they had in Gravity.

Sicario was a masterpiece.

Move to a small town where the rule of law still exists. This is a land of wolves now, and you are not a wolf.

I watched Your Sister's Sister and Fruitvale Station over the weekend.

Your Sister's Sister wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. I give it 2.5/5 stars.

Fruitvale Station... Damn... It's a great film, but it leaves you shaken -- or it did me, anyway. It's not a masterpiece, but it is very poignant, and very well acted. 4/5 stars.

Saw "The Revenant".

It wasn't a bad movie, per se, but it did get a little cartoony. Like the scene where Leo survives a fall off a cliff. And then guts his horse and crawls into it for warmth Han-and-Luke style.

Yeah that was a great line.

Benecio Del Toro when he's interrogating that guy they kidnapped from Mexico. He uhh...raped that guy, right? The person I watched it with didn't pick up on that.

I can't tell. I think the water was for water boarding but he might have impaled him on it or something. There is certainly a rapey vibe with how he stands with his crotch in his face, then the muffled grunting.
