What was the last movie you watched? (2014 Edition)


Recommended Posts

Watched Miyazaki's last film "The Wind Rises" yesterday with the girlfriend, great historical drama with Hideki Anno voicing the lead character amazingly well and beautiful artwork as usual by Studio Ghibli.

I'm really going to miss watching his magical animation/storytelling on the big screen.

2.5/5

Can't argue with the rating, but this is a classic. Saw it as a kid at drive-in. 2nd Movie was Pretty Baby with Brooke Shields, but Susan Sarandon's naked breasts brought on early puberty for me.

4.5/5

9.5/10

Along with Lore, one of my top 10, both found here.

Gareth Edwards knows monster movies and he did a great job with Godzilla. It's a great movie overall and a worthy addition to the genre. Loved it.

 

The only way this movie would be better was if in the after the credits scene Gipsy Danger somehow showed up. Also, there is no after the credits scene.

How would that be possible when Gipsy was destroyed? I mean, it pretty much self destructed.

That's why I said somehow. Maybe some kind of easter egg. My dream trilogy for Pacific Rim would be a sequel and a prequel based on the Mark I Jaegers. Cherno Alpha is the best Jaeger.

I think it would have to be in the same series/universe in order for a Easter Egg to happen. lol.

Couldn't agree more, watched it yesterday in 3D. I liked the fact the lead actors had just the right amount of screen presence that didn't make you overlook what the movie was truly about (Y)

Godzilla (2014) 7.5/10. I liked it, but not really impressed by it. I hated how it was edited.

Say there's a build up to a scene revealing Godzilla, then it shows him, then cuts away to another scene. I feel like.. uhhhh.. I kinda want to see the whole thing unfold. PUT ME ON GROUND ZERO, not the TV.

The Hobbit 1: 6/10

I am tempted to give it a 7, I didn't fall asleep and there were a few moments I thought were well done. It was a solid meh. I didn't feel pulled into the movie, like the previous trilogy and it was obvious he was dragging the movie out, so he could make a trilogy out of a single movie worth of content.

 

Star Trek: Heart of Darkness: 8/10

Despite horrible use of fake science, shaky cam and light reflections gone wild... it was a very entertaining movie. Every time my hard science fiction geek reared up and said "oh my gawd, that has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard", I was quickly shut up by rather entertaining action sequences. I wish shaky cam dude, would hire some guys to work with his writers in coming up better "fake science", but I can't fault the guy in creating an entertaining movie.

The Dark Knight - 8.5/10 - It drags on just a tiny bit too much. I found myself getting a bit bored towards the end. Still though, even after the hype train, this movie is awesome.

 

Which in turn made me watch:

Batman - 7.5/10 - I forgot how good this movie was. It hasn't aged well to be honest, but I really enjoyed it. I think Jack NIcholson is on par with Heath Ledger.

I haven't seen The Dark Knight, but I loved Nicholson as the Joker in Batman.

 

One of his best lines: "He stole my balloons! Why didn't somebody tell me that he had one of those...THINGS?"

    • They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus?
    • Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
