Review: The Martian
Well, here we go again. Another movie adapted from a novel by the same name. The Martian was written by Andy Weir, and was a phenomenal success. One of our very own staff members, Jenny, turned us all onto this book and we fell in love with the survival story. We rooted for Mark Watney as he fiercely struggled to survive on the red planet all on his own. Then we heard that our new favorite book was being turned into a major motion picture starring Matt Damon...and we got scared. A few months ago we were fortunate enough to speak with the author, Andy Weir and ask him how he felt about his book being turned into a film (you can listen to that interview here). He was optimistic and positive about the whole experience. I went into the theater excited. I was hopeful. I was...not let down.

Top Ten Horror Films Countdown: #2 Alien
Alien is terrifying. Straight up horrifying. Alien excels at creating tension, fear, and everything in between. From the first moment that the chest burster pops through the chest of its unsuspecting victim, Alien succeeds where most horror movies have fallen: creating an enemy that it all powerful. We are terrified because the Xenomorph feels unbeatable and inescapable, especially for the main character Ripley. Try as she might, there is no escaping this menacing creature.
