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


Recommended Posts

3/5 - Not bad, the realism aspect of it was good, little things like actually using Google/Youtube helped definately. I enjoyed it!

I would have like it more if it wasn't in a seaside setting. Aside from Jaws & Leviathan, I'm not big on water terror. I thought the acting was excellent throughout.

World War Z (2013)

 

3/5

 

Not a terrible movie. But sadly the subject of it has been beaten to death lately. World War Z sadly brings nothing new to the table.

 

The Wolverine (2013)

 

3/5

 

It's okay i guess. But i did not really learn anything new about Wolverine except that he went to japan and felt in love with a beauty there. The love story was really forced. Some action sequences were nice notably the a-bomb and ninjas.

 

Anna Karenina (2012)

 

3.5/5

 

Style over substance. Pretencious i guess. Did not really follow the book closely enough for me. Did not really feel russian all that much sadly. Still a visual feast and well worth watching despite it's many flaws.

Pacific Rim - 8/10. Much better than expected. Definitely not another Transformers. Gotta love Ron Perlman as Hannibal Chau! My man!

Side Effects - 7/10 - It was pretty damn good. I didn't go into it expecting much. One of the scenes in it was actually fairly troubling for me to watch. Which is odd, cause generally that wouldn't affect me one bit.

 

Oblivion - 7/10 - Better than I expected, I have a issue with the plot that I can't mention without spoiling it. But unless I missed something it's a terrible plot-hole.

Elysium (2013)

 

3.75/5

 

Not as good as District 9 but still better than your average sci-fi flick. Little bit too much dramatization for my taste and not enough characters development for us to care all that much about them. Movie could have been 15 to 20 minutes longer with a longer introduction (the stupid flashbacks could have been cut this way too). Still Neill Blomkamp is the new Paul Verhoeven imo.

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • 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
