What was the last movie you watched? (2015 Edition)


Recommended Posts

Mad Max Fury Road - 7/10 - great action, pretty much no story.

Ex-Machina - 4/10 - Was decent right up until the last 20 minutes or so of the movie.

The end was just plain stupid considering the pilot didnt question where she had come from

Marley and Me

I hadn't watched it before today, and I knew there was a good reason for it. It's not a masterpiece, but I'm still sat here with tears rolling down my face. I had to step outside for a cigarette just to stop myself going in to a full bawling session.

7/10

I watched Spy two days ago. It was a great new take on a somewhat old concept (007 parodies). Jason Statham taking on a comedic role was especially surprising, but he did a great job with it; and of course Melissa McCarthy is always funny. I highly recommend this one. 8/10.

Deep Web -- created by Alex Winter, the guy who played Bill in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, and narrated by Keanu Reeves (Ted, from the same movie). It circles around Silk Road, Bitcoin and the Dark Web. Quite an interesting documentary, that felt a bit like an expose at times.

Princess Mononoke - 9/10

 

I watched this for the first time in about ten years or so. The Blu-ray version this time around. Oh my goodness, it is more amazing than I remembered. The animation still holds up as some of the best to date and the story is unforgettable.

I tried to get into it, i just could not.  at all.

Spirited Away on other hand is a true 10/10 for young and the old alike.   Howls Moving Castle is good too.   I found Princess Mononoke much less enjoyable then this 2. Much less.

 

This again, I don't watch much anime.  I just know Spirited Away is great :p Watched it 6 times over last 10 years, having to show it to new people I meet.

 

 

and of course Melissa McCarthy is always funny.

 

Yeah, I am planning to watch it, but definately not because Melissa McCarthy is always funny.  I hope she is funny enough in this one, as I mostly found her movies annoying, not funny.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
