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.

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

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
