Kept putting it off due to work etc. but finally watched it tonight with the girlfriend and like Kriz, totally lost for words :| Superb cinematography throughout all scenes (not just the choreography used in the breathtaking fights) and the characterization/plot was much more in-depth than the first film with the turf wars (also nice to see familiar faces from Japanese cinema) (Y)

 

My favourite boss had to be the deaf/blind, dual-wielding hammer girl - so many painful moments :pinch: :rofl:

 

10/10. 

Oh!! yeah! And for any hardcore video game fan, the baseball bat scenes are soo like  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rival_Schools:_United_by_Fate

I agree, choreography is amazing like nothing i've watched before... You actually believe he's kicking ass!!!   I do feel they could've added a bit more of the wife situation,  not really needed and enough drama... Man...

 

Did any one else think Koso was Mad dog from the raid redemption? I still think he is :wacko:

 

 

 

The Raid 2 - Lost for words, incredible, never seen anything like it. Makes Ong Bak look like a disney film. 10/10

You people need to shut up about The Raid 2... at least until I get to see it :D :p

Dude, get to it, it's THAT GOOD.

Ah good to know i'm not crazy :laugh:

 

:laugh:

 

Also liked how Koso was trying to change his life with his kid, while Rama was trying to go deeper into the criminal underworld. Complete opposite roles compared to the first film.

I agree, awesome plot.

Director said he is only doing one more, then he's taking a break from martial arts movies :(

 

This series could easily span into 5 movies, heck Rama becoming what Reza is, then getting involed and ultimately, he could even become the darkest drug lord!!! oh teh possibilities!

Westworld

Meh, not as great as I was expecting. 4/10

It's old. In it's day, it was the ######. Cutting edge when I was a kid.

Hayao Miyazaki's farewell masterpiece.

Straight up 10/10. This movie should have won gotten the Oscar for best animated film over Frozen hands down.

But is it better then Spirited Away.   I did not like anime and never watched it much, until someone made me watch  Spirited Away.   It was amazing and I have watched it maybe 5 times already.

Howls Moving Castle was good too, and the other ones I did not like much at all (too much for kids, i guess)    

 

But anyway Spirited Away story was quite moving and the atmosphere pretty serious, I loved it a lot.       How is this one?  Is there intensity in the movie?

Just watched Gone with the Wind (1939) 

 

I was always putting off watching it, because I tried to watch some other top ranking classics and found them a bore.

This one however was very good, and totally watchable.   I quite enjoyed it.   I must for any movie lover.

NOAH

Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, 2/10. Hollywood is in trouble, lol.

Really not what I expected. It was alright I suppose. 

 

I am putting off watching it really, shame as the cast is not that bad at all and of course Emma :wub:

The Lego Movie - 7/10 - Very good. It addressed a few cliches in a funny way. I felt it went a little long or was a little dry towards the end. Also, the way it does its cinematography reminds me of those popular YouTube vlog videos. I don't fit that demo, but I can see why it had great reviews.

 

Lethal Weapon - 7/10 - I loved this movie when I was much younger, but now I notice quite a lot of things about it that are just stupid. I'm a sucker for mindless action though, so it's O.K.

There have been worse. It had Anthony Hopkins too and still 2/10 for me. I'd say, sometimes you come to a fork in the road and you have to choose a path. The makers of this film chose to straddle the fork instead of making a decision, and they split their groin.

If they didn't have the balls to go one way or the other with this subject matter, they should have taken a pass.

    • LOL, expect to take you seriously? The $7k myth? Ignoring the BILLIONS Qatar spends every year to influence American politicians and universities? Claim terrorists are "journalists" when they are members of Hamas and even have Hamas funerals with their pictures in Hamas garb. "Snipe kids" when they don't, meanwhile the other side sends kids into battle (and their mothers praise their martyrdom) and uses them as human shields and their schools as rocket launch sites and entrances to their tunnels - which they took all their foreign aid to build at the expense of their people. Base their operations at hospitals - violating every rule of war and making said hospital legitimate military targets? AND THEY KILL LGBTQ+ PEOPLE - listen to their own testimonies themselves, their interviews on what they do to them! They're proud of it! Your talking points are all BS and you know it. Stop defending another Islamic dictatorship that uses terror as their primary policy.

    • We wrote about it here https://www.neowin.net/news/browser-vendors-pen-open-letter-to-microsoft-saying-enough-is-enough/ the open letter itself is here https://browserchoicealliance.org/open-letter/
    • Someone forgot to mention EDR in the title ? I think I will not click anymore on the articles written by this author. All are click bait.
    • Browser vendors including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi have jointly written an open letter to Microsoft saying enough is enough regarding Edge being pushed on Windows users without consent. Microsoft makes it difficult to change the default browser, promotes Edge throughout Windows 11, and has made the uninstall process unnecessarily complicated compared to other apps. Does anyone have more details on what exactly the open letter demands and whether any regulatory action is being considered? Also curious whether this could lead to antitrust investigations similar to what happened with Internet Explorer back in the day. Would love to hear from anyone following this closely.
