Lone Survivor (2013)

 

6.5/10

 

Overrated imo. I did not find the movie to be as realistic as some people say it is. For one the guys made some really strange and dumb decisions like releasing the hostage before having a confirmation they were getting out of there. The Afghans show no knowledge of combat (cover, aiming, etc ...) but yet are able to find the seals easily. From what i know it is not that easy to spot someone wearing camouflage and the well trained seals could have been anywhere since they moved after releasing the hostage. Also the action sometime is really a little bit over the top. Not bad and worth a watch but not worthy of all the praise. I highly doubt this is the way it really went.

 

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013)

 

7/10

 

Could have been better. Movie is too short and doesn't take enough risk. A by the book yet solid and honest movie.

Quai d'Orsay (2013)

 

6.5/10

 

Totally ridiculous movie. This is a 2 hours movie without any content. Since this is a political satire i would say it's pretty accurate XD. Excellent movie and well worth a watch.

Space Station 76, 2014

 

I'm not sure what the point of putting the story in Space.

 

Seemed more like a soft poRn movie.

 

No real ending.

 

Nice sets, special F/X, and good actors.

 

2 out of 5  stars.

 

Not a movie I would watch twice.

4/5 Just cause the OST is pretty awesome, who knew Keira could sing...

 

 

Also, a little bit of drama here and there. Fairly "modern" movie. Also Ruffalo nails it.

Gone Girl, 2014

 

Best movie of 2014 that I have seen.

 

I guessed the general plot about one-fourth of the way in:

 

His wife was framing him.

 

I guess that's just the writer in me. :shifty:

 

I was a bit surprised by the ending, expecting someone else to die.

 

Worth watching again --- 4/5 stars.

Days of Future Past. It was really good but I think overrated a little because I was kind of expecting it to be amazing based on what others had told me.

 

hmm.   i though it was amazing!  :)    best xmen movie for sure, and the best comic book movie for me too!   kept me interested all the way through.

 

 

 

 

finally watched guardians of the galaxy.      meh!     decent fun.    a bit childish for me.   easy to watch, but the humor did not work for me.   even boring at times.

 

should have waited for home release and not bothered to go to cinema.

It was good fun. Kind of a shame it bombed at the box office from what I read.

 

Yeah I think it did, well they doubled the production cost with $369.2 million vs $178 million but on the opening weekend, globally it only grossed $20.1 million

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      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.
