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


Recommended Posts

My missus worked on world War Z and her and her mate got caught up in the filming of one of the crazy Zombie stampede scenes when the Assistant director didn't see them crossing the set. Said she'd never been so traumatized haha!

 

Latest fil i saw was 'Full Metal Jacket' discovered my DVD in a box and couldn't not watch it. Still a brilliant film. 9/10.

3.5 / 10

 

A lot of this was filmed in my home town, with Brad Pitt even ordering 700 pasties for the extras. However, it was still a terrible film. The cinematography was average to poor, the plot was appalling and there just wasn't anything to make it enjoyable to watch. It was like Resident Evil only done badly.

I picked this up expecting it to be another Michael Bay signature explosions riddled, overly top action sequences mindless flick but it turned out to be really good. In fact the premise of the movie reminded me of Tarantino's work in its 'all hell breaks loose' and totally insane and unpredictable characters. Even though the movie reminds you multiple times its a true story, I couldn't believe it until the credits rolled and it shows you the real people the characters portrayed. One of the best performance by Dwayne Johnson to date.

 

7/10

The new Riddick, and I was very disappointed with it. 3/5

Just to help put this in perspective for myself, what do you rate the original Pitch Black?

^ You either sleep really late or wake up really early! :P

4.5/5

 

 

 

The latest film that I have seen at the cinema : Elysium. Jodie Foster was great in the film.

 

The latest film that I have seen at home : Star Trek Into Darkness (seen it at the cinema, too).

Probably 4.8/5. Brilliant. I just didn't like the new one.

Thanks. I liked the original as well, so I will probably mirror you thoughts on the new one, unfortunately. I had high hopes for it.

    • "Not found" - this is what you get when you embed a tweet instead of just taking a screenshot.
    • Wonder if they will let you go into an Apple Store and have your white glass back swapped for a silver one, will they refuse even if you pay?
    • Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
