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

    • Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes or combining meshes, generating a thorough PSO cache to allow shader pre-compilation and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly and no the engine can't do all that for you that's not how any of this works.
