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


Recommended Posts

Nebraska-9 out of 10, Bruce Dern was awesome.

 

Inside Llewyn Davis-7.9 out of 10, it was pretty good, but it kind of dragged on.

 

Dallas Buyers Club- 8.5 out of 10- Again, suffered from some pacing issues, but it was pretty good.

 

The Master- 9.25 out of 10 (Second Viewing)-PSH, Joaquin Phoenix, and Paul Thomas Anderson. Need I say more? (Yes. "I Want You On A Slow Boat To China...")

 

The Godfather- 'Nuff said.

 

Plan to watch part 2-Godfather, Citizen Kane, and Trainspotting. Thank God for Netflix, Redbox, and my local library!

Non-stop - 8.5/10 - I loved it. I think I have a man crush on Laim Neeson though so my opinion on the movie should be completely disregarded. I think for what it was, it was really well done.

 

Bruce Almighty - 6/10 - Pretty good. Averagely funny. I liked the Mask better and honestly they are nearly the same movie to me.

 

soo... I watched

 

The Mask - nostalgia/10 - I can't rate it, but it's probably good. My opinion is skewed by my damn childhood. I hope it's not terrible.

5/10

 

90 minute advertisement for Subaru :p

 

Actually it wasn't that bad, nobody actors, so that was a little refreshing, Pedal control was a little more realistic (in some scenes) than the usual fast and furious/need for speed crap

as another generic racing movie I'd say it was worth watchable if you have nothing else to do

(It'll never be another Days of Thunder)

Wadjda (2012)

 

7/10

 

Great movie from Saudi Arabia about a girl who needs to overcome religious traditions to ride her own bike. Simple story yet powerful because of the obstacles women face in conservative religious countries. I think it was clever from the woman director to use such a simple and innocent story to talk about such a complex and emotional subject.

 

 

A great summer movie. Solid, well shot and trully entertaining. This year's Oblivion?

 

 

Actually, this looks way cooler then Oblivion.  Going to watch it in the theater. I love me some good sci-fi.

Non Stop - Really liked it

 

Awesome, I am watching this in home with no expectations and a bunch of drinks and homemade popcorn!

Robocop [2014]

 

Like Ender's game, a disappointment. That movie tries to put too many things at once in the same package. Some interesting ideas are presented at one time, only to be totally forgotten 5 minutes after.

That is sad, because that gives some substance that could have been utilized. 

Half the characters are under-utilized cannon fodders

 

One thing that I liked is that, like its 1987 counterpart, the movie manages to capture parts of the political/corporation/economical 'air du temps'. I liked Samuel Jackson as a totally unfair and unbalanced opinion pundit or Michael Keaton as a demented corporate overlord.

 

3.5/10

Minuscule: Valley of the Lost Ants - 8.5/10 - The best movie I've ever seen where not a single word is said. The plot itself is pretty lame but the presentation of it all was just awesome. My Wife however fell asleep nearly immediately. So... take from that what you will.

 

Another Earth - 3.5/10 - What a crappy movie. The only redeeming quality was it stringing you along waiting for some climax. Well, in my opinion, that never happens. The chick is pretty hot though(+0.5).

 

Bio-Dome - 2/10 - Don't let that rating fool you, I absolutely loved this terrible, terrible movie. I just know that it's terrible and that I really shouldn't.

Godzilla 2/10

Godzilla does make several cameos totaling 5 minutes out of a 2hr movie.

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004)  -  My first Wes Anderson film (and can't wait to watch more) and walked away really, really liking it.  A very solid 4/5.

 

Enter the Void (2009)  -  I don't know why I had this in my collection or when I got it and I had no idea what to expect.  I was blown away and mesmerized.  4.5/5

    • Who wants to pay higher prices for the same 6+ year hardware in a new shell? This is hardware where things change fast and improve continuously. They could update w/ quicker/more efficient compute, faster storage, new controllers with new features (not a shell/design update), which are all realistic possibilities. They've done mid-generation console updates, but all we've had for Series X/S are not just different configuration updates (storage / digital versions / console aesthetics). Instead they've prioritized acquisitions, increasing prices, and have lost quite bit of their fan base because of lack of vision.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter by Usama Jawad LibreOffice maintainer The Document Foundation (TDF) has often criticized Microsoft for popularizing the OOXML standard for documents instead of the truly open-source OpenDocument Format (ODF). It has also bashed the Redmond tech giant for putting its own commercial interests over everything else. Now, it has switched targets a bit to aim its sights at the Euro-Office suite launching tomorrow. For those unaware, Euro-Office is a direct fork of OnlyOffice. It is being marketed as an open-source "European sovereign alternative" to proprietary services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It is being developed by a coalition of European companies including Nextcloud, IONOS, and Tuta. However, TDF has disagreed with this marketing classification in an open letter, saying that it is not the first open-source office suite being developed in Europe, as that honor belongs to OpenOffice.org, back in 2001. In a snide remark, it has emphasized that it feels "compelled" to clarify this because open-source initiatives should highlight transparency, not deception. It has stated that OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice are the only two "genuine" office suites with codebases in Europe, indicating that Euro-Office is a freeware clone of Microsoft Office that has rebranded itself to masquerade as a symbol of digital sovereignty. TDF has also remarked on the fact that those that are championing digital sovereignty now were very dismissive of LibreOffice and ODF a couple of decades ago: The LibreOffice has once again called out Microsoft for its "horrible" OOXML standard which locks in customers. Euro-Office also leverages this OOXML format, which effectively makes it an ally of Microsoft, according to LibreOffice. That said, it is unlikely if TDF's strong words will have any impact on the adoption or marketing of Euro-Office.
    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. In other words, you can choose the amount of Liquid Glass you want to see on your iPhone instead of an on/off switch, which would only give you two choices. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, sidebar icons keep their color. Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass. New customizations allow Liquid Glass to improve contrast and enable a more vibrant appearance. The new icons have sharper edges, which addresses an old complaint that iOS 26 icons look blurry at smaller sizes. The upgraded Liquid Glass, Apple said, is building on last year's design upgrades by "integrating additional layers of Liquid Glass directly into the artwork itself." Apple's upgraded design language is available on iOS 27, which is arriving this year with no changes to the list of supported iPhones.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
