    Pretty good movie. Wifey and I enjoyed it. You don't have to be a nerd to understand it either. Great storyline, well developed characters and a happy ending that will make you feel great.

    Tired of the Jet Rollercoaster for a bit? Go see this movie and enjoy yourselves!

    Yeah, The Martian was a lot of fun. I love Jessica Chastain and she was good in a brief role. Matt Damon was great. Best Ridley Scott film in a long time.

    With the Mets season over I hope to see it this week. I read the book and liked it but it was slow because of all the technical info he included. The writer is a first time novelist and I was kind of surprised his editor didn't cut some of the tech and make the book faster. I heard the movie is better.

    Yeah, that is not a problem in the movie at all.

    Matt Damon is a proven actor that can carry a movie, my wife and I enjoyed it as well.

    I want to see a man from UNCLE and I definitely can't wait for the next Bond movie.

    Is this more of a sci fi with tons of mesmerizing Mars pictures or just a thriller that happens to have a space theme?

    Brook, it was a SciFi but it didn't have the feel of a SciFi if that makes sense. More like a drama. Kinda Robinson Crusoe on Mars deal. Take the kids, take the wife. Go see the movie man. You'll dig it.

    Okay Grandpa. Thanks for the suggestion. We will see it this Saturday. Too bad it isn't playing at Bowtie Madison. Have to head to East Hanover AMC for this.

    Why would you come right out and say it was a happy ending?

    Kind of ruins the suspense.

    That's what you think. Maybe he is a Matt Damon Hater and he dies a horrible, miserable death. You never know! ;):)

    Now in this day and age, can you remember the last movie you saw with a horrible catastrophic ending?

    "UNCLE" must have set a record for longevity and not in a good way. That movie came and went PDQ. I wanted to see it too but its already gone. Guess I'll have to go the pirate route but I can't find it out there anywhere.

    I'll probably go see "Last Witch Hunter" today since I'm on vacation this week. Catch it early and pay like $2. :)

    Sometime the release of movies is not timed correctly, it received good reviews but there were other movies that were released in August that took away from its momentum.

    It made $100 million, unfortunately it cost $75 million to make...yikes!

    I like the $2 movies, and stadium seating, I will never go to a non stadium seating, the way things work for me the man with Afro ends up sitting in front of me....:mad:

    Cman, come on. Vin Diesel. That dumb fuck was saying Furious 7 should sweep the Oscars.

    His best roles have been the voice of a robot and the voice of a tree.

    I'm watching a rerun Dean Martin's Matt Helms movies on TV right now.... Campy but if you want to see a bunch of 60's hot ass, it doesn't get much better.... Judo chop!
