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.

    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
    • They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.
    • 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.
