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.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
