The Martian:
Saw this last night, liked it 3.5/4.0 of 5.0. I'm down with the astronaut theme/space thing anyways.... to me, there were some really thought provoking situations in that show as well as a few emotionally charged aspects. If you can get into the plot, you can feel more about it I figure? It has some conflict for sure.
Recommend.
Was just subjected to it....hated it. There were some good actors in it, but the suck level surpasses Hoovers best product line. Consider it throwback review?Quote:

SMDH.
Laundry detergent isn't strong enough.
Recently watched "The Equalizer 2" with Denzel Washington. If you liked the original you'll probably like the sequel.
Hidalgo. Yeah 2004, just seeing it for the first time now, and it's not over yet.
I read up on the story of the movie, which is cool sounding...but this movie blows ass.
Watching The Breaker Uppers on Netflix. It's a New Zealand chick comedy. I think it's pretty funny.
We watched that a few days ago. A few funny one-liners, but overall, never met what I thought was its potential, and ended weak.Quote:

Saw several things recently.
Finally watched Ready Player One. Much more entertaining than I thought it would be. I enjoyed it.
Also saw Alita-Battle Angel. If I was giving it stars I would maybe give it 5/5 for the CGI stuff but would have to knock that rating down a bit for the storyline. Maybe 3.5/5 overall.
Also watched Aquaman last night. Wasn?t bad for a DC flick. Better than some of the recent DC stuff I thought.
Finished the "Mars" series on Netflix. Not bad, interspersed with interviews of scientists regarding the challenges of going to Mars.
Well it's a bit far for starters.
Between the scientist, mars a holics interviewed and how they intertwined the "drama". It played better that we thought it would .Quote:

AMC A+ makes it much easier to go watch movies that I wouldn't otherwise go to the theater and watch.
I saw Captain Marvel last night. Pretty good movie. I thought the main character's acting was a little lacking, but enjoyed the story and all the 90s pop culture references and music. I thought the big fight at the end was a little meh, but loved the mid credits scene.
The Wife and I both enjoyed Capt. Marvel. Treating our Flerkels with much more respect and caution now, however.

It's astoundingly good. All of the footage was shot originally on 70mm film, and as a result it's gorgeous. There's no narration, all of the audio is from sound clips that were recorded at the time.
A lot of the footage has never been seen before, and watching a Saturn V light off in IMAX is hugely impressive.
It's a fantastic reminder of what America can do when we decide to accomplish something.
We saw it in IMAX as well. It was interesting that the Chappaquiddick manslaughter case was ongoing during the flight to the moon. Ironic that one brother called for the moon mission and another brother killed a woman just before the mission. Sadly I am not confident that our nation could bring such resolve to any similar task today. There were so many people who watched that mission and made it happen. I am hopeful that private industry can make something out of orbital travel and one day we may return to space.Quote:

As to US spaceflight, NASA has become far too hidebound and risk averse to do anything cutting edge on the human spaceflight front. Couple that with the fact that funding for NASA is often times coupled with various politician's pet pork projects, and it's unsurprising they haven't done anything with HSF beyond the ISS.
Thankfully, private space industry is on the cusp of reinvigorating US space. SpaceX has successfully made the first test of the passenger version of Dragon 2, Elon Musk is moving incredibly fast on the development of the Starship test hopper, and Bezos and Branson have also been successfully testing flights of their vehicles to the edge of space.

Just finished 'The Umbrella Academy'. I was pleasantly surprised. It's entertaining, quirky, and a good story line.
It's nice to see Ellen Page, she's an incredible actress.
Yes. Capt. Marvel was good. Waiting for Avengers: Endgame
Recently enjoyed the 1982 movie Cannery Row. Adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel.
I Was stationed at Fort Ord which may have biased my judgement.
Watched a movie on Netflix called Mastermind. Haven?t laughed at a movie that much in a while.
Laughed as in that bad, or decent and worthwhile watching ?Quote:

Avengers :Endgame . Played well, few surprises and the humor they did fit with the movie. Unlike Thor Raganork, where it didn't play at all.
Went and saw Godzilla: King of the Monsters yesterday.
This movie knows what it is, and knows why you're there. The plot and characterizations are pretty archetypal and done in broad brush strokes, and while the story is serviceable, it's obviously in service to the main reason you bought a ticket; which is to watch giant monsters pummel each other.
5/5 thoroughly enjoyed it.
Saw Aladdin this weekend. It's entertaining, nicely done, good family movie. Something for everyone.
Will Smith did a nice job as the genie.
Saw Ma and Brightburn last week. Loved Ma, and Brightburn was entertaining.
Rated Ma an 8.75/10 and Brightburn 7.5/10
