Haven't found time to watch one at home lately, but the last flick I did manage to catch was the new Star Trek. 

 

Think I need to see it again before passing judgement.

I watched Spring Breakers ^ It was Incredible...bly Bad. 1/10.  Nice girls though. 

 

Vanessa Hudgens + Selena Gomez = fans of that genre only. Even with Kriz's 5/5 I can't. :)

Its a lot grittier and darker than some of you may think, its not a chick flick by any means. (Spring Breakers)

 

You've got street cred after Little China and Black Dynamite, so standing behind your 5/5 and adding gritty and dart to Hudgens and Gomez, I'll give it a shot.

 

I admit I'm going in thinking I won't be able to watch the whole thing :)

That turns out to be a pretty good assessment. Has to be the biggest surprise in a long time. You keep your cred, I give it a 4/5. Pacing didn't always work as intended.

The Kite Runner (2007)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419887/

 

Great movie: good acting, moving story and good characters; doesn't rely on SFX or famous actors, just a good plot and very good acting (believable). Also shows how thinks were and are in Afghanistan: the birthday party scene reminded me a period in my own childhood where things were simpler but for a celebration party everyone was dressed very formally for the occasion; the exodus scene showed the horrible face of war and the end scene the circle completes.

 

8/10.

      "77ee94b helium/windows: winsparkle updater (built-in auto-update support on Windows" If that's what I think it is, that is about the only thing that's been missing from this excellent browser. I guess I'll find out the next time I'm on a Windows machine.

      Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? Unreal has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes or combining meshes, generating a thorough PSO cache to allow shader pre-compilation and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly, and no, Unreal or any other engine can't do any of that for you.
