Passengers Rewatch Review
I assume you have already seen Passengers. Spoilers ahead. Rewatching Passengers tonight I noticed a flaw in the plot.

—
It’s noteworthy that movie theaters are opening in some places around some US states and around the world. (Like in New Zealand.)

Making movies a little better: The Martian
The Martian is a fantastic movie. I just finished watching it for the umteenth time. It’s a masterful work in every aspect. But if I may be so bold, it could have been a little better. My Pitch Mark Watney is alone on Mars. No companionship. Not even a stuffed animal. Except for the rover…
