Incredibly touching movie with Jared Leto  pretty much clinching an Oscar win.

Dallas Buyers Club I presume. Please write the names also because images are sometimes broken and it's not always easy to guess.

 

Possession - not sure what to make of it: ridiculous characters, overacting, tentacle monster sex and I can't stop staring at Isabelle Adjani's beautiful face.

12 Years a Slave - 7/10 - Decent overall, sends a strong message but some scenes were unnecessary.

$50K and a call girl - 6/10 - I went into it fairly hyped. It was kind of boring even giving the content.

Top Gear Vietnam Special - 8.5/10 - This rating is based entirely on Top Gear specials and not movies in general. This is a great one!

Wolf of Wall Street - 9.5/10 - Damn, this was good. Really good. Really damn good.

Her - 6/10 - Meh. I wish my OS could do that, but the movie was boring.

American Hustle - 1/10 - Seriously? I didn't even go into this knowing about the oscar hypetrain. It was terrible. Just terrible.

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

 

It's hard for me to rate it. It's a sick movie (0/10). You will feel worse after watching it. There's no happy end there. So I'll give it 5/10 for graphic portrayal of gore. It's mild in this movie when compared to the gore depicted in the Saw franchise for example.

The GodFather is an excellent movie, with a raiting of 9.2 on IMDb, and is one of my favorite types of movie...action-crime based! 

 

       the-godfather-.jpgPesonally, it's a 10/10 movie! If you didn't watch it by now,I already did when I was smaller, go watch it!

Can you explain without spoilers?   How 12 Years even remotely related to Inception?

 

Hans Zimmer seems to have "reused" some parts of the Inception score (and others). The movie is still great.

Happy endings don't exist in films inspired by the French Extreme Horror genre :)

Last Vegas   5/10           (Michael Douglas and Robert De Niro - old men party) funny at times but nothing special

Stand Up Guys 8/10       (Al Pacino and Christofer Walken - old men party)    much better then Last Vegas

American Hustle - 1/10 - Seriously? I didn't even go into this knowing about the oscar hypetrain. It was terrible. Just terrible.

 

 

Why? I only watched first 45 minutes, before I have to leave and meet someone, but I was really looking forward to finishing it soon.   first 45 minutes were very entertaining.

However, a girl I know did not like it either (though she did not hate it as much as you... seriously 1/10???   Come on!)

She suggested I watch a much better (in her opinion) Gangster Squad instead.

Ryan Gosling effect. She has a terrible taste in movies. It's like L.A. Confidential, but without the good parts and lots of eye candy thrown in (Emma Stone :wub: )

 

I'm going to watch American Hustle this sunday. Really looking forward to it.

People kept expecting it to work like any other con movie and miss all the great things that are going on while the con is on. Did not disappoint at all. Very good movie and worthy of its nominations.

The Wolf of Wallstreet

A great film, in my opinion. Despite it's runtime I was fixated and enjoyed every bit of it. And Margot Robbie...wow. Here's hoping we see more of her in the cinema. :blushing:

9/10

Unthinkable

Another good film. Having already seen it a while back, S.L.J's character still really threw me, and I was again left with certain moral questions when it was finished.

7/10

    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
