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.

      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 hellowalkman · Posted

      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 LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.
