What was the last movie you watched? (2013 Edition)

Avatar 3D.

I watched it originally in 2D. Got the 3D blu-ray last year and took all this time to get round to watching it.

Made me not completely regret my purchase of a 3D TV :laugh:

Best thing i've seen in 3D since Sky Sports Darts coverage :laugh:

Well the last one I watched was "A Haunted House". Absolutely stupid. Almost turned it off a few times, but figured I might as well finish it. 1/5

Just before that I watched "Dredd" in 3D. Was pretty good. 4/5

Expected more. I love Cronemberg.

It's a excellent adaptation from the book, everything is spot on. However this does not translate as well since what it feels like stoicism and detachment in the book feels like numbness in the movie. However the style and the dialogs are well preserved and executed.

Watched the documentary Sound City last night. I had preordered it for $10, so got the DRM free digital download once it was released this past Thursday I think it was.

Very good documentary about the making of Rock N Roll music. Very well done all around.

Oh, I also went to go see Mama in the theaters on Thursday night. I was in San Jose CA on a business related trip, could not sleep due to the time difference, so decided to go on my own and check out a movie in the theater.

What a really bad movie. Bad thing is it had some genuinely good, creepy moments, but the parts that people were literally LOL'ing when they were not supposed to be doing so ruined the whole flick. It tried way to hard to be serious and just came off as being a joke. The ending was about as cliche of a horror movie ending as one can get as well. Avoid at all costs.

Bully - 4/5

Tough to watch this as a human being, but even tougher as a parent. Sad to see the actions of kids can result in an 11 year old killing themselves. I know everyone has their own views on suicide but at such a young age I feel like it could have been prevented. Very emotional movie/docu to watch, I'd almost even be on board with this been shown in school as a requirement.

Silver Linings Playbook - 4.5

Watched this one after watching Bully because I didnt want to goto bed being depressed. Really enjoyed this movie and was shocked at Cooper's performance (as I dont think Ive seen him in a serious role prior to this). Jennifer Lawrence was also great.. also being an Eagles fan it was great to see those parts in the movie.

Highly recommend both movies.

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
