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 :)

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.

    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
