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.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
