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


Recommended Posts

Comes out today in UK, I saw a private screening at Fox this afternoon :)

 

I'm skeptical about seeing it. I don't pay attention to comic books.

 

Does it explain why he's in Japan and what not? My buddy said it's in the future after the X-Men movies.

Yeah it does and it's set after XMen: Last Stand

Oblivion, did not really care for it. mostly because i do not like tom cruise but i just thought it was boring.

 

Can I ask what you don't like about him? I think he's a pretty good actor, and knowing he was wanting to be a priest when he grew up and went this route and made a few good movies is amazing.

 

What didn't you like about Oblivion? I plan on watching it this weekend.

Probably just Tom Cruise.

Usually when i check the score of a movie Tom Cruise is playing in I add one point to the score to reflect reality. Like Born a forth of july is in fact a 8.1 quality movie on imdb scale instead of 7.1.

Redline 3/5 - Accepting the low budget, surprisingly watchable.

Gallowwalkers - Wesley Snipes reminiscing about Blade in a Wild West setting, could not finish.

Ha, ive got it downloaded. The fact that one of the posters ive seen actually says "BLADE IS BACK!!" it didnt seem like it can stand on its own 2 feet.

Rewatched 'The Silence of the Lambs' the other night and honestly had forgotten just how good the film was... utterly brilliant. I loved it. Just one of those films I couldn't imagine them making today - not for the violence but because of just how little 'action' there is and how much of a slow burner it is. 

I'm baffled. How can a fanedit be better than the original? Please don't tell me that some dude with mediocre video editing skills can do a better job than Ridley Scott, one of the world's best directors.

I'd change nothing in Prometheus. If anything, I'd make it longer and more suspenseful like the first Alien if it were up to me. To cut and edit this masterpiece is like slapping Mr. Scott's face .

Check the Changes and Reviews tabs, or better yet, give it a watch and make up your own mind.

You shouldn't be so presumptuous about peoples editing skills, or so dismissive of fan edits in general.

Zero Dark Thirty (2012)

 

3.5/5

 

I was honestly left disappointed. Not a bad docudrama but not a great movie either. How am i supposed to care about people who torture others ? I really like Bigelow but i don't know what she really wanted to do with it. There's dramatization but it's really weak with no characters dev or anything to make you care about those people who torture others for the "greater good".

 

Ted (2012)

 

3.5/5

 

I expected a little bit more but still a fun romantic comedy for men because ultimately this is what Ted really is. I did not laugh all that much but still a really fun lighthearted movie.

 

Orphan Black (2013) (TV Series)

 

3/5

 

Orphan Black is what i would call a guilty pleasure. Not a great serie and specially not a great script but the lead Tatiana Maslany is doing a really good job. Well worth a watch if you liked series like Dark Angel or Dollhouse.

Frankenstein's Army - Critical Rating 4.5/10, Personal Enjoyment Rating 8/10 :D

Gettin on that!!

I'm thinking you'll like it. :) I still haven't been brave enough to watch Pacific Rim, Transformers have turned me off to all giant robot movies. But we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Identity Thief (2013) - Watched it mainly because of Jason Bateman (loved Horrible Bosses) and it turned out to be quite funny. 4/5 

 

Wall Street : Money Never Sleeps (2010) 4/5

 

Mission Impossible : Ghost Protocol (2011) - As I pretty much always have done, when I hear a new movie in the series is coming, I watch the most recent. In this case, MI:4. Really liked this one (Simon Pegg was brilliant) 5/5.

    • Apple has clarified Series 9 was left off the watchOS 27 compatibility list by mistake.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating.
