Awesome movie, but does require more than one sitting :laugh:

 

Hahahahah ! I've seen it 5 or 6 times, it's like a good music album, you can listen to it every now and then without feeling bored !

 

Now it's time for Inland Empire and Lost Highway ! :P

The Signal (2014)

 

6.5/10

 

I was about to give it a 7 when they pulled a Dark City 2.0 on me. Really? I mean honestly i realize that there's not an infinite number of stories and eventually one has to get inspiration form other works but the end is a total ripoff of Dark City. Interesting work from the director though i'll keep an eye on him with a better script and a bigger budget he might be able to do something really good.

 

3 Days to Kill (2014)

 

6.5/10

 

Uneven movie. McG is quickly becoming the next Michal Bay/Roland Emmerich. He knows how to shoot a movie but that's about it. I guess not everyone is able to be the next Luc besson or James Cameron.

Ida (2013)

 

7/10

 

A good proof that you don't need explosions and lens flares all over the place to make a good movie. It is very very very slow paced but at the same time very short. Movie is 82 minutes only. But it's a good thing cause there's not a lot of meat around the bone. It's a very cold movie about a very cold era. No hollywood dramatization is to be found here despite the tragic story. Not a movie for everyone and while i can't say i really enjoyed it i can definitely applause the attempt of the director to do something different.

 

The Monuments Men (2014)

 

5.5/10

 

Hard to believe Clooney directed such a turd. His last movie The Ides of March was very good. Sad cause the subject was interesting.

well, yeah, i tried to show this movie that was translated, to a bunch of friends.  they were just not enjoying the dialog.    but since they speak bad engish, subtitles would not have helped.

again, my translation was way better.   hard to find a good translation, some are decent, but sometimes a 1 voice unofficial translation is much more watchable that multiple voice "official" translation...

3/5

I thought it was a well done movie, and I agree with this review. The sad part was it definitely could have been better, and focused more on the social aspects of the Purge. Here's hoping the Purge 3 (rumored to focus on the very first Purge), is much better.

 

Also, if anyone wants to hear the Purge version of "America", here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TrUzzG3SNk

2121 Jump Street :rofl:

 

yeah, they kept it going.   it is just as good at the original.  which means for a comedy about cops undercover in college, it is pretty funny :)  

don't come in with any other expectations though...

 

still, i though they might make the second one bad. and they did not. so hooray for them, i guess :huh:

Philomena (2013)

 

7.5/10

 

Nice drama without the usual hollywood dramatization. Movie is a little bit cold and short considering the subject matter imo. I think it could have been better without the forced not so funny humor and a little bit more backstory. They did cut too much imo.

 

Tracks (2013)

 

7/10

 

Good movie. Not as good as 127 hours but still watchable if you are into personal introspection type of movie.

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      "Not found" - this is what you get when you embed a tweet instead of just taking a screenshot.

      Wonder if they will let you go into an Apple Store and have your white glass back swapped for a silver one, will they refuse even if you pay?
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
