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.

    • 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.
    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "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.
