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 Apes - 5/5 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 Apes - 5/5 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.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
