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.

(50 inch Panasonic plasma)

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.

 

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.

 

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

    • 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.
    • 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.
