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


Recommended Posts

The Colony, 2013 ... was OK -- a lot of violence, ridiculous strung out zombies.

 

I'm not sure why a lot of killings makes a movie 'cool'.

 

A happier ending would have appealed more to me. :/ 3/5

World War Z

8/10  pretty good, cool premise.

I spit on your grave 2

8/10 good movie, better than I expected.  Was some pretty shocking parts to say the least.. however the main actress did have nice bewbs.

Byzantium (2012)

 

3/5

 

Interesting movie. Almost a copy paste of Interview with the Vampire but with women instead of men. If you liked Interview with the Vampire, if you like cute girls and Neil Jordan you'll like Byzantium. If you like none of the above then forget it. It could have been so much more tough for a reason i can't really pinpoint the movie doesn't totally work.

Watched with a friend who had never heard/seen it before, they loved it! I still love it :) 4/5!

i went to cinema yesterday and watched rush. great movie with awesome scenes. i think they got the engine noises very right, i am less enthusiastic about the way they showed on track battles but that was probably the most difficult part anyway.

whtat the movie really excels at is the different characters of hunt and lauda (no surprise i prefer hunt there). and while they were so different they both won a championship and had to rely on luck and suffered bad luck.

 

id give it an 8,5/10

Rush (2013)

saw it two days ago: for me the surprise movie of this year, as i knew nothing about it, only sawed the imdb review a few hours before i went to see the movie and... this movie blowed me away: very strong performances by Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl, incredible soundtrack (Mr. Zimmer, i salute you), amazing photography and racing scenes. Telling a true story isn't always easy as many details are omissed or simply neglected for more dramatic purposes, but this movie does a very good tribute to Hunt and Lauda and to all of those that lived that 70's period. Also i was very amazed for the accuracy of the sounds (engines), pictures and scenes of the races on that times (very small details are in the movie, like the sponsors logos and scenes like the Ferrari Team speaking with Lauda in the Japan Grand Prix or the accidents, realistically reproduced) but also the story is very rich and intense.

 

Also the last 20-15 minutes of the movie it was so intense and rewarding, that nobody was making a sound in the theater...that good.

 

8/10.

Pirates of Silicon Valley - quite enjoyable, and interesting.. apparently regarded as fairly accurate history of the genesis of Apple and Microsoft :) Would give it a 7/10!

Watched it last night it was too predictable for me,it not only lacked a good story line but had a very  poor ending.

 

World War Z

8/10  pretty good, cool premise.

 

 

It was a surprise for me given the abysmal Zombie movie rush we have at the moment, I thought it went really well I really liked this one.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).
    • I never played Crazy Taxi before, but this looks like a fun game!
    • The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
