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?"

    • Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes or combining meshes, generating a thorough PSO cache to allow shader pre-compilation and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly and no the engine can't do all that for you that's not how any of this works.
