For such a strange concept.. It was written very well..

Just watched this myself. enjoyed it.

Scorsese still is good.

 

For me today he is average, with a few sparks here and there. However, according by what I'm reading, the Wolf of Wall Street is a new high in his career.

9/10 just because it has a lot of porn and drugs, otherwise it really deserves a 10/10.

 

The porn and drugs should bump it up 1 point not take it down 1 point.

Captain Phillips

 

7/10, maybe less.

 

It just blows my mind that 4 armed malnutritioned people can take hostage of a crew of say 30. But, maybe that's just me due to my career choice.

 

Tom Hanks did good, I especially liked his acting at the end while being over looked by a medic. I think the actor that played Muse did good for his first big movie.

 

With that being said, I looked up some history on this event and found this site:

These were a surprise for me, bought by my wife for Christmas, but for some reason they only turned up Monday 13th

(And yes, I am aware these have been out for a while now, also it's not the first time I'm watching them)

6/10

A great movie, I liked it, good performances, had some nostalgia in some respects to the original for me (bridge crew etc...)

9/10

 

I've never seen it in high def before, regardless of what anyone thinks of the storyline, it is thee most visually beautiful, and stunning movie I've ever seen.

This is a big chunk of what I've watched since my last post in the previous thread:

 

Last Vegas 5/10 - generic comedy that only got a few chuckles out of me, fast forwarded the last third

Short Term 12 7/10 - very enjoyable drama, loses a point for some unrealistic character behaviour

Thief 6/10 - well acted, but the main character is not very likeable and the plot hole doesn't help

Rush 9/10 - amazing car sounds and very good all-around (I'm not even a F1 fan)

The Ultimate Gift 2/10 - christian family-drama, lame convoluted plot and bad acting

Gremlins 2/10 - horrible all-around

Don Jon 6-7/10 - I though it was about mobsters before watching, imagine my surprise..

What Maisie Knew 9/10 - liked a lot even if it's fairly predictable, bittersweet ending

Evil Under the Sun 5/10 - too contrived

Death at a Funeral 10/10 - one of the few comedies that made me pause to catch my breath (don't confuse with american remake)

Unforgiven 7/10 - good, but didn't stand out

Chugyeogja 8/10 - kept me glued to the screen but it is somewhat flawed

The To Do List 1/10 - as enjoyable as seeing someone eating a turd floating in the pool (it's in there)

Closed Circuit - 6/10 (I got lost with the plot but Eric Bana is a great actor. Good to see Julia Stiles, too.)

 

The Lincoln Lawyer - 8/10 (Seen it before but really like this one. Going to read the book here soon.)

I watched 12 Years a Slave a few days ago 5/5, a really moving story.

 

Rise of the Planet of the Apes5/5 Watched this again with my girlfriend who had never seen it and still love every minute of it. Really looking forward to the next one this year.

 

Hoping to go and see The Wolf of Wall Street this week. 

Would You Rather (2012)

 

It's a psychological horror film. It's horrible, sickening, and sadistic. Don't watch it unless you like torture porn.

 

What's your rating? Sasha Grey is in it, so I'll probably watch it, ha.

I'm curious why James Franco isn't in the new one.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • 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.
