In Part 2 of our triumphant return (shrug), we look at 2015's The Martian, directed by Ridley Scott. This film is set on two different planets: one of them has billions of people on it, and the other has...one. And we manage to jump back and forth between the two with tension and humor, and it's a fun ride the entire way. Does it make awesome scientific sense? Mostly, and the places where it doesn't, even the author (whose work is rather faithfully reproduced for this film) concedes that he needed to pull a couple of fast ones to get the story to work out.

COMING ATTRACTIONS:

We hope you like Denzel Washington, because we'll be seeing a bunch of him. First up is The Mighty Quinn, where he's fresh out of St. Elsewhere (but this isn't his film debut by a long shot). From there we check out The Inside Man, a movie with an ending you probably didn't see coming.
