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.

 

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.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
