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.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
