IMDB (8.1) My rating 10/10

 

Awesome film, although long (almost 2 and a half hours) I didn't feel it dragged on at any point, in fact I agree totally with the review on the IMDB page:

 

Prisoners is without a doubt what has to be the movie of the year. There's stunning work from this great ensemble cast, Hugh Jackman & Jake Gyllenhaal both give award worthy performances. Paul Dano gives a good take on a troubled teen with much subtlety. This is a very tense movie that will capture your attention and keep it the whole way through. This movie's cinematography by Roger Deakins is beautiful, the screenplay while based on an idea that's not original shows you a different take on it. The conversations the characters have are so riveting, you feel yourself questioning your own morality, and if you would do some of the actions these characters take. 10/10

Wolverine: I didn't like most of the X-Men movies (heresy, I know :) ), but I actually liked Wolverine. It wasn't great, but I really like the way it was shot and directed.

 

Pacific Rim: I got through it. Not unwatchable, great CGI. Everything outside of the action was pretty cheesy though.

 

We're the Millers: So much funnier than the trailers made it look. Really hilarious, but got sort of weak towards the end.

 

The Challenger Disaster: Very entertaining and interesting, especially for NASA and Feynman fans.

I watched both

Alpha Papa and Kick-Ass 2 at the weekend.

 

Alpha Papa - 4/5 thumbs. Felt like a feature length episode. Which is what i was hoping for.

 

Kick-Ass 2 - 3/5 thumbs. Good film. Agreed with some of the changes they did from the graphic novel, didn't agree with others.

Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters - 6/10 - pretty standard mythology based teen adventure.  Haven't read the novels but yeah wouldn't watch it again but filled in some time.

 

Red 2 - 6.5 / 10 - the pacing on this one is a lot better than the first imo, the first one had more laughs but the pacing just killed it for me.  This one sacrificed a few laughs but I think on balance worked out better. 

 

Touchy Feely - 4/10 - Big fan of indie films but the conclusion to this one was lost on me and I think I would just lose more of my life going back looking or searching the web for any meaning.

 

Zombie Hunter 4/10 - not even a bgrade flick.  Grab some mates and some tequila and enjoy how cringe worthy this is.  The 4/10 is really just because if you assume they knew they were making a bad movie it all makes sense.

 

The Worlds End - 7/10 - for me this started off pretty slowly until the actual sci-fi element kicks in but after that the pacing picks up and this had a few lol moments in it.

 

We are what we are - 6/10 - I had higher hopes for this.  In the end largely predictable, nothing terribly suspenseful.  Possibly more enjoyable if you didn't go in with high expectations like I did.

    • 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.
