fingsWatched "The Martian" with MB and yolen; technically the movie is PG-13, and MB is 10, but the rating comes from a few uses of "Fuck" and a butt shot, so really not a problem in our house.
I had seen the film in the theater, and had read the book before seeing the movie. I liked the film, but think I enjoyed it more this time around because I wasn't mentally comparing with the book. I also appreciated that it's a man-vs-nature story, so there's no real villain, just smart people trying to do what they think is best. It also madeyolen think of Castaway with Tom Hanks, and that we could likely watch that with MB as well.

It's not a top-10 movie for me, but I'd still put it firmly in the "watchable" category.
