Nicholas, I loved The Martian too!

Icaro, thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely be checking out Persona before too long & am really looking forward to it.

I'm currently (slowly but surely) making my way thru all of the xfiles episodes. So I haven't been watching many movies lately. I do squeeze one in every now & then, though. Recent watches:

The Brothers Bloom (2008)
The Maze Runner (2014)
The Conspirator (2010)
Ant-Man (2015)
Dope (2015)
Ghost (1990)
Raising Arizona (1987)
Say Anything (1989)
Fast Times at Ridgmont High (1982)
Galaxy Quest (1999)
Turner and Hooch (1989)
The End of the Tour (2015)
The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004)

The 1st 3 I liked the most & the last 3 bored me to death.

The Revenant (2015)

truly an atmospheric and totally immersing film.  Leo should get his Oscar for this one.  Plot - not so great - but everything else - JUST *WOW*.

I'm on a long waiting list to get the book from the library. I wanna read it before watching.



Here's the good part of his oscar acceptance speech, for those that missed it:

"...And lastly, I just want to say this: Making The Revenant was about man's relationship to the natural world. A world that we collectively felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history. Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow. Climate change is real, it is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating. We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would be most affected by this. For our children’s children, and for those people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of greed. I thank you all for this amazing award tonight. Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted. Thank you so very much."
