In a Better World (2010)

7/10

Good danish drama. Lacking a little something to be epic. Was close to rate it 7.5 but dunno i think the movie tried to shot in too many directions instead of focusing on one side of the story. There's too many subjects in the movie and they are not very well tied together.

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)

6.5/10

Okay popcorn movie. Around 20 minutes too long. First half was worthy of a better score and second half of a worse one. Jackson was funny as the villain.

Big Eyes (2014)

7/10

A weak Burton is still a good movie. Could have been so much better tough considering the interesting material Burton had to work with.

The Captive (2014)

5.5/10

Had potential but awful script. Lilya 4-ever is so much better. Even Eden is better.

McFarland, USA (2015)

7/10

Nice feel good movie. If you don't expect more than a feel good Disney movie you wont be disappointed.

Heli (2013)

6.5/10

I don't know how to feel about this movie. It's a really good movie but it is so bleak.

The burning genitals scene was so cruel.

Well done but not very fun to watch. Lacked some material toward the end.

This movie has a bit of soul and community to it as it was born out of promoting the technique of practical Animatronics and classical FX which is now overlooked in favour of CGI.  They had a successfully funded kickstarter campaign.

Don't watch this expecting quality or originality of John Carpenter: The Thing (1982) but rather a homage to that.  The story is essentially an adaption of that with the purpose being to give an old school horror feel and showcase modern animatronics and fx, in which respect I felt it succeeded. 

On that basis I could mark it up higher but overall 6.5/10

Saw Terminator Genisys last night finally. Really enjoyed it. Felt like a true sequel to T2. Emila as Sarah and Jason as John did good. Bit on the fence about Jai as Kyle but he wasn't bad just not what I was really expecting I guess. Still an excellent movie.

Just watched this... again :rofl:

I've got a copy of it, but it's also on YouTube

Seems Billy Mitchell wasn't happy with the final edit lol

Check out: Billy Mitchell, Gamer of the Century Part 1 and 2

He's definitely a character. I watched the clips, those are like extended bits from the King of Kong, right?

Amour (2012)

God i watched the first hour only but what a boring movie. The first hour is basically two old people speaking about everything and nothing inside their apartment. And the woman has a small stroke and spend some time at the hospital. That's about it. The Tree of Life looked like a movie made by Michael Bay in front of this thing. You could watch the 1st hour of Amour without any image and you would not lose anything. That's how boring it is. At least movies like Birdman and The Tree of Life has great cinematography. There is technical aspects to admire. Here nothing. The whole thing is inside an app. No soundtrack to speak of. Actors performance are so so specially the woman. She talks like if she was reading a book. I'll watch the 2nd hour tonight and if it doesn't get any better i'll rate it 5/10.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      By mrp04 · Posted

      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.
