I had such great hope for the rebuild series but after watching that they really should have just left it alone and solidifies that End of Evangelion was the best end for the series.

The Way Way Back

Very enjoyable film, starts off a little slow and awkward but hits its stride when Sam Rockwell hits the screen.  Interesting to see Steve Carell play a bastard too.  Worth a watch.

Movie wasn't bad, acting and sfx weren't great, felt low budget (which it probably was, but I like low budget movies,)

I liked the telling of the tale, which to me felt truer to the original telling in some respects than some other Dracula movies out there

 

I'll give it 6 out of 10

If you go in expecting nothing from the movie, you'll be entertained :)

Star Trek Into Darkness: 3/10

Visually speaking, it is a very impressive CGI feast, but as every other recent Sci-Fi movies.

Story speaking, this is just a catastrophe: characters are stereotypes of themselves, story is pathetically black and white, unoriginal and xeroxed from the previous movies and has more plot holes than a block of Swiss gruyere.

A Royal Affair (2012)

 

4/5

 

Very good. I have not seen Amour but i doubt it can be better.

 

Man of Steel (2013)

 

3?/5

 

I'm not a fan of Snyder. First half is great (Batman quality). Second half not so much (Avengers quality). Movie was a good 30 minutes too long. Way too much boring action. I almost felt asleep in the second half to be honest. Overall a good movie but i still prefer Donner's Superman.

Gravity: 9.5/10

 

The movie was superb (visuals, story line, etc) and had me gripped to the chair all the way through. Huge applause by the audience at the end.

 

Sidenote: 3D is the *only* way to experience this movie.

 

I can see both Sandra Bullock and George Clooney get Oscar nominations for their performances.

Man of Steel - 8/10 - Very nice, well done Superman.

Despicable Me 2 - 5/10 - Nowhere near the quality of the first, with an overuse of minions in an attempt to engage me. boring.

R.I.P.D. - 7/10 - It was fun, I enjoyed it, so did the Wife. Very M.I.B.-ish

HELI_120x160_INTER_RELEASE.jpg

 

Heli. One of the most powerful and well made movies I've seen in years. This is a Mexico's portrait. Brutally precise, without melodramatic devices nor moral stances. Just as it is. 10/10

 

I also saw Gravity, by another Mexican, Alfonso Cuaron. The direction, effects and camera work get a perfect 10. But the narrative and shallowness of it really disappointed me. I appreciate the minimalist approach to a catastrophe, however it was obvious Cuaron intended a more symbolic movie and he fails in this pretention. 7.5/10.

The Conjuring IMDB rating 7.6 my rating 9/10

 

"Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse."

 

Kept me interested all the way through, nicely done, good old fashioned style fright flick.

    • No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!
    • Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • Does it have couch co-op is the question I have here.
