Look See and The Martian

Happy Monday. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

For all my animal loving friends out there, this is definitely worth a look see.

The hh and I went to see The Martian. I had low expectations because this isn't the type of movie I normally enjoy. Whether it was low expectations or Matt Damon, I loved it. Believed dead,  Astronaut Mark Watney is left on Mars by his crew. His intelligence and strong sense of humor help him survive.Though not fast paced, it's a gripping story.
A definite thumbs up.

I liked The Martian a lot more than I thought I would. Much better movie than Gravity.

Most enjoyable to watch Sandra.
Have a good day.

I myself couldn't watch anything with Damon.. he is so full of himself

CJ Kennedy said...

We loved The Martian. The only disappointing thing for us was seeing it in 3D. Turned out 3D was a bit underwhelming. Loved the story though

Hi, dear Sandra!

I was very touched by the story of the donkey and the wolf. Thank you for the link! I totally agree that:

<< friendship knows no bounds of species >>

Mrs. Shady and I would surely enjoy The Martian. We both like Damon and Jeff Daniels and movies about space exploration. A recent episode of one of our favorite TV series, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., had to do with surviving on an inhospitable planet nearly devoid of sunshine. The trailer for The Martian sells it to me. I love adventure mixed with humor.

Thank you again for being such a great friend and making my birthday weekend that much happier. Have a wonderful week, Sandra!

Sandra Cox said...

Weren't they something. I thought it was really touching. We all need buds.

Sandra Cox said...

I agree, Alex. I wasn't a big gravity fan though the hh liked it.

Annalisa Crawford said...

I'm looking forward to seeing The Martian - I missed it in the cinema. I think a lot of people saw it with low expectations and were pleasantly surprised.

Hot guys said...

Hmmm, now I'm actually thinking of watching the movie. I'm considering, hehe. :) Even tho I'm not that into Matt Damon. Thanks!

Sandra Cox said...

Thank you. You have a good day too, Ms. Yvonne.

Pat Hatt said...

Sure I'll enjoy the martian when I watch it, the wolf and donkey was a great story.

Sandra Cox said...

I like him:) And he did a good job in this.

Stephanie Faris said...

I have never liked Matt Damon and I can't explain why. It bugs me that I just don't like him! He just seems so...bland.

Sandra Cox said...

I wouldn't have thought about the overwhelming piece, but I could sure see where it would be.

Sandra Cox said...

My pleasure, Shady. You have a good week too.
Let us know if you like the Martian when you see it.

Sandra Cox said...

That was sure the case with me. Let us know when you see it, if you enjoy it, Annalisa. Have a good one.

Sandra Cox said...

Neither is Dez:)
If you see it, let us know if you like it.
Have a great Monday.

Sandra Cox said...

The wolf apparently needed a friend more than he needed dinner.

Sandra Cox said...

You're in good company. Dez and Fit Studs aren't too keen on him either.
I like him:) To me he comes across as the boy next door. Someone with a good heart.

Valerie-Jael said...

Sometimes films we aren't really looking forward to can turn out to be really good, glad you enjoyed it! Have a nice week,. hugs, Valerie

Adam said...

I haven't seen it but I'm guessing it will be a similar experience to Gravity

Sandra Cox said...

I agree, Val. It certainly worked out that way for this one.
You have a good week too.
Hugs

Sandra Cox said...

I liked it better than Gravity.

Birgit said...

This is a film that looks like it will be quite good and from what i have read, it is. I probably will see it when it is out on DVD. Love the story of the wold and the donkey. It looks like the donkey is protecting the wolf who looks scared. I am glad the wold is free

Sharon Himsl said...

I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. Nice it exceeded your expectations!
