Looper-2012-watch-free-movie.jpg

6/10

Was an OK movie. Not much to say about it. Was fun to watch, but the story is rather weak. I'd recommend it, though.

This fact kind of got under my skin (no, it isn't about the time travel): [No spoilers] The year is 2044 as it states in the movie. Sid's mom points out that he (Sid) was born in 2039 (July 15, 2039, to be exact). So he would be 5 years old.

Later on she mentions that he is 10 years old. These are all laid out in front of you, so the writers messed that one up. Just double checked all scenes to make sure I wasn't going crazy, and I'm not.

I think you misunderstood what the mother was trying to achieve with that comment. She lied on purpose.

The Bourne Legacy. I'd give it a 7/10. Wish they had merged scenes with Jason Borne in it from previous movies...as if they had passed paths at some point.

Ted: 8/10.

Ice Age - Continental Drift 6/10. Skraggs (the squirrel) is hilarious as always.

Rurouni Kenshin

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1979319/

I saw this recently as well.

As far as Live Action adaptations go, this is probably the most well done of all. The director stayed true to the fans and the story, and delivers a great movie without leaving too much out of a long anime. Excellent fighting, graphics, scenery, and acting. 4/5

Hmm..didn't notice that discrepancy in age (but I'm not that detailed oriented with movies).

I'd give it a 7.5/10

It was a better movie than I thought it would be. But it does have Bruce Willis and I always like movies with Bruce Willis. He makes bald cool.

Django Unchained - 9/10 (Loved Christoph Waltz, the style of the film, and some of the scenes were just fantastic)

Looper - 8/10 (Really enjoyed this one although it slowed a bit for me about 3/4 of the way - really enjoyed the premise though)

Project X - 7.5/10 (Liked the movie overall but the ending scene with the dad just killed it for me. As a parent I couldn't see myself having that same reaction)

Being the good husband I am, this weekend was more or less my wife's choice of movies.

As such, we watched Silver Linings Playbook last night.

4.75 / 5

It was pretty much exceptional.

I do have to say though, while it is no doubt comedic, I did not think it was a comedy per say, so kind of bewildered why it won best comedy and best comedic actor at The Critics Choice awards.

What I said on Facebook after watching it.

silver linings playbook. one of the better "chick flicks" i've seen for sure. it might not even be one.

Tonight, we saw Les Miserables. It is my wife's favorite musical, so she was truly looking forward to it.

I, on the other hand, cannot stand musicals. They just never have done anything for me.

I have to say, it was a damn good movie. I am not all of a sudden now a fan of musicals, but it was good enough that my dislike of musicals was overlooked for sure.

And my wife kept reminding me how everyone sang their lines "live," and I have to say this fact alone makes the movie that much more impressive.

Another 4.75 / 5

2012 really was a great year for movies. I may go see The Hobbit tomorrow, as it is one of the last big movies of last year I have yet to see.

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.

      That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,

      Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
