Recommended Posts

If you have recently watched a movie post it here with a little tidbit of what you thought and a rating whether it be out of /5 or /10 :)

 

 

Please use spoiler tags for "recently" released movies (5 years since the release date is a good cut-off)  or just avoid spoilers all together. D.S.

Hausu, or House.

I don't think there are any words to describe it. Ridiculous from start to finish, but in one of those "so bad it was good" sort of ways. 4/10

You don't need drugs to be feel like you're on a psychadelic trip with this film. Crazy colours, bizarre soundtrack by Goblin, and some hilarious acting in places. You can take it more seriously than Hausu, but you're still going to have to put up with some silly moments. 6/10

Alot better than id anticipated from a few negative reviews from friends, I enjoyed it i thought visually it was amazing and a pretty good concept too - Still not 100% that Matt Damon was the right guy for the role but he was alright.. Another amazing performance by Sharlto Copley! Always a fan of Blomkamp I love his style of shooting!

 

8/10

Well I did a little movie marathon on sunday. I watched 4 movies.

 

Shutter Island : Pretty good, didn't end how I expected so thats always a plus. Got the bluray for 5$.

The Amazing Spider-Man : Again, pretty good. I liked that spidey had a bit of an attitude! Plus it has Emma Stone in it!

Total Recall (2012 remake) : I prefer the original because it a classic, but as a remake, this actually turned out pretty good.

Horrible Bosses : I was expecting it to be way funnier. It was good and funny, but people made it out to be way funnier, but it was worth the 3$ I paid for the DVD.

Mud (2012)
 
7?/10

 
Really great coming-of-age movie. I'm not a fan of Matthew McConaughey but he was great in this movie. Highly recommended. My only complain is the movie was a little bit too long and slow.

 

 

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

 

6?/10

 

I could barely recognize the book. Technically great but there's really not enough material in the small book that is The Hobbit for 3 movies.

The joy of Hollywood. Although from my understanding, the extra parts are from the appendicies, so it's still within Middle Earth's lore. Speaking of, did you see Stephen Colbert's cameo with his wife? My friend and I shouted when we saw him. :laugh:

 

I enjoyed Gravity 3D one more time in the cinema before it goes. Easily 10/10, best film ever, or nearly. :D

I need an opinion on this. Would it be the same film without the 3D, or is the 3D crucial to the watching experience? I've yet to watch the film, but I detest 3D. Hopefully it has almost the same effect in 2D.

I thought it was the best most sensible use of 3D I ever have seen and I go see lots of 3D movies. I'd say you'd want to see it in 3D on the big screen, biggest possible. It's totally engrossing and disorientating and incredible. :)

More plot-holes than in a slice of Swiss gruyere, combat scenes showing some Kill Bill influence (Hey, it's Japan: let's put some Ninjas, yakuzas and Goth-Lolis doing backflips with sabers), there are some Wow moments but this is really too predictable

3.5/10

8/10, great cinematography/music but plot was a little thin. Still enjoyable tho (Y)

9/10, a great/sexy selection of cars (dat F-TYPE exhaust popping :drool: ) reviewed in breathtaking locations. Would have got 10/10 but Captain Slow was absent :p

Watched Rush earlier today, and I have to say it was brilliant and definitely the best film I've seen in 2014! :rofl:

9/10

 

A few days ago I also watch 47 Ronin, went into the cinema with low expectations after some reviews I read. Turned out to be better than I expected, although the end seemed a bit rushed to me. I enjoyed it though

 

6/10

Manborg 

 

 

 

This one's so ridiculously bad, it's brilliant. Couldn't stop laughing at the fakeness of it all. 5/5

 

 

Piranhaconda 

 

Just...no. 0/5

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
