WHAT THE ###### 

 

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

I hope there is a Purge 3 and I was happy this was very much open world this time

4/5

 

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:

X-Men Days of the future past 9/10 - Amazing movie the only one who stands against it is Guardians of the Galaxy 

 

 

yeah?   i might have to go see the guardians, while they are still on the big screen.   because i loved the days of future past!

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.

    • 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.
