Ice Age 4: Continental Drift - 8/10

Went and saw it with my niece, she loved it! Good laughs for both kids and adults. Saw the trailer for Epic and it looks awesome! http://www.epicthemovie.com/

Epic looks great, is it me or does the guy from the trailer look just like the main guy from tangled?

Plot was a bit on the thin side but the excellent fighting choreography and tense moments throughout the film completely overshadowed that. It's kinda reminiscent of Besson's District 13 with the location and overall cinematography, a very enjoyable action film - 9/10.

Ted

Just went to see Ted with my wife, 2 movies at the theater in 3 days, think that is a record for the two of us. :laugh:

Anyway, I really liked it. Was exactly what I expected it to be, a buddy movie with filthy humor.

My wife, not so much. She thought most of the funnier jokes were already shown in trailers, and while I cannot really argue this fact all that much, I still thought there were plenty of other funny parts that were not shown.

So yeah, I give it an 8.5/10

I'd actually give it a 6.5-7/10. I enjoyed it greatly, as did my girl. But the movie in general, is pretty forgettable. It isn't really one you must see in theaters, but it is worth a viewing or two. Was really funny, and while the previews did show most of the funny parts, they are heavily edited for TV and missing the true humor that the movie provides.

The first 10-20 minutes really shined in this movie. It was basically Family Guy in Live Action. I loved the scene with Mark hanging off of Mia while dancing. I was hoping we would get more of those moments, but sadly, that was the last. Though the fights and other moments later on were just as funny, I was hoping for more of the "family guy cut away" magic :p

I watched this film randomly today, and was really impressed. Generally if I see three films from an actor / actress and enjoy them I'd consider myself a fan. In Bruges is the third Colin Farrell film I've seen (Phone Booth and London Gangster being the first two). I liked both of them a lot, and In Bruges is just a continuation of that appeal to me. It's little more light hearted in places than either of the other two, but at times it manages to be surprisingly dark as well. Farrell does a great job of portraying emotions compared to most actors, and I'd say he pulls off the "haunted by shooting a child dead" emotions pretty well. All in all, it's a film I could watch again and enjoy a second time. Maybe even a third.

American Reunion 6/10.

I saw it about 2 weeks before it was released, it just didn't seem like an "American Pie" movie, there was a lot missing. It didn't actually bomb, but it could've.

Intouchables. 4/5

I think the comments are already said but i ll say my opinion,too.Very nice movie,Its about one tetraplegic person who hires one young man from the suburbs of Paris,to help him.The two men are from different worlds and thats what makes the movie pleasant to see.Smart jokes and the whole story makes the movie very pleasant to see.

Was The Dark Knight Rises at the IMAX - amazing film, without a doubt an perfect end to the three films. 5/5 First experience of IMAX was a little disappointing didn't seem that special to me.

Yesterday watched Breaking and Entering 3/5 for that one.

Act of Valor (2012) - 1/5, terrible. Rented it from RedBox because it was getting really good reviews but that had to have been one of the worst "war-like" movies I've ever seen. The dialog was bland, the story was bland, the action scenes were bland, and the whole thing was very predictable. The first person shooter camera shots were just in bad taste. Terrible movie.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

    • Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
