finally finished watching mr robot

lost me there a while with the schizophrenia/opiates bit but subject was right to my palates

extra matties for using real life tech, linux, tor etc, and not some magical user interface shit like they usually do

7.5 matty rains
 
The Martian (2015) - Pretty entertaining ride. Kinda like *spoiler alert because the movie comparisons will reveal the kind of ending to expect if you don't know already* Apollo 13 meets Cast Away with a side order of Gravity.

A lotta Matt Damon. He's a pretty reliable actor. I wondered if he had ever been nominated for an acting Oscar. In fact he has twice. I wouldn't have nominated him for those two (Good Will Hunting, Invictus) and I wouldn't nominate him for this - but I guess he probably will be.

Ehhh, not sure about that.

As for a rating? Oh, say, 7.4.

Sicario (2015) - it's pretty good although the more I think about it, the lower my rating drops.

At first it seemed very realistic and gritty and thoughtful - with a message I think is important - (i.e. whither this war on drugs?) - but on deeper consideration:

:dunno:

It is directed by the same guy that did Prisoners which had a similar effect for me. Seemed on the surface that it was about something, but really just a contrived thriller.

Watchable though. Rating-wise, I'm an easy thumbs up but below the consensus. Right around 6.7 right now.
