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


Recommended Posts

Both as a movie admirer and as a teacher I must say that few films have moved with such power. A near flawless meditation on the education system and the flawed but -most of the times- committed individuals that work on it.

Whoa a solid cast, might have to catch this

Do that, first time I see Lucy Liu acting -like, really acting-. The only bad thing is that Craston appears for about only two minutes.

Bounty Killer

 

The single most stupid movie I've seen so far (holding Machete Kills as I haven't seen it yet)

Terrible acting, absolute crap for a storyline, green screen effects substandard.

 

I LOVED IT :p

Now I have to see this! It must be like in those spaghetti westerns how what we'd call 'bounty hunters' were always called 'bounty killers', which is probably more accurate.

I really enjoyed this, Sam Rockwell gives a great performance and is perfect as this character.  Allison janey is also a crackup as comedic relief in the film.  Interesting to see Steve Carell play the bastard.  This has a kind of Adventureland vibe to it but much better although I would have to say Adventureland had a better soundtrack throughout the film.

Best haunted house film I have seen in a long while, tension build up and execution were all very well done.  No gore, no torture porn just good old fashioned demonic hijinx.

Yeah didn't think much of this, kind of like twilight with a hotter lead actress who has a range of emotions greater than sour and sad and somewhat better action sequences.

None of your images are showing.  At least I can't see them.

I think it would be fairer to say it leans more towards a 'Mad Max' style of movie than a spaghetti western. With dark humour :)

9/10

I also just watched this, 8/10. Very powerful and emotional film. Loved it. I also agree about the Cranston Cameo.. it wasn't really needed IMO.

Thanks, it looks good. I liked the Mad Max films. The reviews for this look quite good, at least in terms of my sort of film!

Its been mentioned before that Malwarebytes has a block on some image sites, if that helps.

 

Not using Malwarebytes, thanks for the info though.   The image links show in the quote and when I copy the links into their own browser window they are viewable.  I don't block anything on Neowin.  I didn't think IMDB or Fanpop allowed image linking.

 

 

P.S.  Now they are showing after a few refreshes, weird.  :huh:

Monsters University  - 6.5 / 10 - It was a bit boring, not bad though.

The way, Way Back - 6 / 10 - I enjoyed Sam Rockwell's character but everything else reminded me of just watching real life, which was technically quite good, but not why I watch movies.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
