Recommended Posts

If you have recently watched a movie post it here with a little tidbit of what you thought and a rating whether it be out of /5 or /10 :)

Please use spoiler tags for "recently" released movies (5 years since the release date is a good cut-off)  or just avoid spoilers all together!

Dracula untold - 1/5 horrible, but I'm a sucker for cheesy movies.

Revenge of the Green Dragons 1/5 - Don't know why Martin Scorsese attach his name to this crappy movie, I get it that the directors of this movie gave you the rights to remake Infernal Affairs as The Departed and you won your first Oscar with that movie.

In the theater, Fury. Not bad, not great.

 

First watch, probably Guardians of the Galaxy. Not bad, not great.

 

Watching Django Unchained right now for the second time, better than what my first impression was.

 

2014 was a pretty dismal year for film.

Most recent: Naked Gun with my best friend on New Years Eve

 

Most recent in theater: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Part 1. (I've lost count of how many people I've fooled with that little addendum!)

The Descendants - 7/10 - A bit fun and relaxing, something you could enjoy on a plane trip.

Flight - 7/10 - A bit fun and exciting, something you'd probably not enjoy on a plane trip.

Watched a fair amount over the past few weeks!

 

catch me if you can - 8/10 excellent plot, script and a superb acting all round

 

lego movie - a bit kiddish but some good parts, mostly involving batman though :p 6/10

 

my cousin vinny - excellent old school comedy 8/10

 

Terminator 1 - seen this so many times now! 9/10

 

Terminator 2 - also seen this many times now!!! :D When I was younger, this one use to be my favourite but now that I am older, T1 is the better one imo 8/10

 

Eden Lake - a very frustrating gore type of film 7/10

 

transformers AOE - MEH! The worse one by FAR 4/10 2 points purely for the dinobots.....

 

cop land - basic plot but very well executed with a whole range of excellent actors 7/10

 

dawn of the planet of the apes - excellent plot, acting, CGI, script, action scenes etc. etc. 8/10

 

batman begins - the first proper good super hero film and was the one to really kick start the super hero movie universe on the big screen imo, a bit too much time spent on his past though 8/10

 

the dark knight - fantastic sequel, the joker/heath really did make the film, I loved all the twists when it came to the joker. I felt that Harvey Dent's transformation into "two face" was a bit too sudden though, they should have worked up to it more from the very beginning or show in secret that he had a much darker side, kind of like how they are portraying him in the tv show Gotham 9/10

 

the dark knight rises - a fantastic film to end Nolan's batman films, just a shame they revealed the ending about a third of the way through the film.... The only thing which I felt was very poor was the combat/fight scenes, very poorly done! Didn't like the whole Blake storyline either. 8/10

 

insomnia - a typical Nolan film that keeps you on the edge throughout, some nice twists and a superb ending 8/10

 

memento - one of Nolan's weakest films by far, very basic plot but a good cast and script kept it interesting enough 7/10

 

prestige - WOW! Amazing that is all! :D Better than inception imo 9/10

 

teenage mutant ninja turtles - loved this! Entertaining right from the start. I was expecting it to be rather bad but I felt that they got the turtles personality spot on 8/10

 

hunger games mockingjay part 1 - very good! The damn scene give me goosebumps!!! Can't wait for the last part 8/10

Flight - 7/10 - A bit fun and exciting, something you'd probably not enjoy on a plane trip.

 

I thought this was going to be a prestige movie, turns out it was much more meaningful. I liked it.

 

I watched The Wolf of Wallstreet most recently. Quarter DeCaprio narration, quarter porn, quarter MTV Cribs, and a quarter drug showcase. 3 hours long and odd. Meh.

Had so much potential,  I mean, you got the premise, developed it, why blow it all to hell, why not try to show 

at least in a bit, what happens to man kind as they acquire the knowledge

 

 

5/10

Dom Hemingway (2013)

 

6/10

 

Could have been really great in the hands of Guy Ritchie.

 

 

Awesome movie. As a person who lived in UK for many years, I am a sucker for good british movies.   Its not Guy Ritchie good, but it is certainly very entertaining for me.

7.5/10

 

I went in expecting it to be a bit boring as it basically follows Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy) in the car, but with frequent telephone calls with different people with different issues...I thought it was something different and well worth a watch.

Agreed, Dan Stevens performance!

+1 Hardy's performance... This role pretty much consolidates him as an actor, barely any support cast, all up to him.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
