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

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

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
