THE MARTIAN Director: Ridley Scott Starring: Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Sean Bean, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kristen Wiig, Donald Glover, Sebastian Stan, Mackenzie Davis I love the fact that we are getting big space exploration movies back on the silver screen. We’ve seen films like Gravity and Interstellar open our minds to the depths of space, and now Ridley Scott is returning to his home turf with The Martian.

PROMISED LAND Director: Gus Van Sant Starring: Matt Damon, John Krasinski, Frances McDormand, Rosemarie DeWitt, Hal Holbrook I will be honest. I had never heard of the term “fracking” untilPromised Land came around. I am assuming that many people do not know what that term is. Fracking is the slang term for hydraulic fracturing which is the core debate in the latest Gus Van Sant/Matt Damon reunion. Steve Butler (Damon) and Sue Thomason (McDormand) work for Global, a natural gas company that is interested in buying farm land in order to drill for gas. Steve and Sue visit a small rural town in hopes toRead More →
