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

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.

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.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      By mrp04 · Posted

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
