    Blu-ray Review The Martian Blu-ray Review

    You must. If you think the movie Mark Watney was smart and overcame a lot of obstacles, you ain't seen nuthin' yet. If you think there is any potential that you might be stranded on Mars, it's a great primer for survival. :) The book also has more humor.

    Blu-ray Review The Martian Blu-ray Review

    I enjoyed the book (from audible) very much. There was a lot of humor in it. I thought the movie did an excellent job of adapting the book to the screen, even though some portions of the book had to be omitted. An excellent production, very enjoyable, and I'll be getting the 3D blu from...
