Moonrise Kingdom

9.75 / 10

Possibly the best movie I have watched so far in 2012. Just absolutely brilliant.

The Cast. Acting. Script. Cinematography. Musical Score. All absolutely flawless.

EASILY The best Wes Anderson movie ever made, and I do not say that lightly as I am a big fan indeed.

The kid who plays Sam Jared Gilman, who I believe is pretty much a newcomer, absolutely could win the Oscar for Best Actor.

Same for the girl who plays Suzy.

For kids their age to be able to pull of such adult dry comedic roles that require such a deadpan delivery is truly remarkable.

What an amazing movie.

Was a big movie theater weekend for me.

Yesterday I went to see a matinee of Dredd by myself. Wife had zero interest.

So I had a HUGE interest as I used to read the original Eagle comic book. I even went back and collected the 2000 AD comics he was in once I got into his featured comic. So I know the whole Dredd legacy fairly well as a result. So being someone who really collected all comics Dredd related, I thought they did a pretty admirable job with it overall. I totally recognize the fact that in itself it is quite a challenge modernizing source material that originally started in the late 70's. So with that in mind, I thought they did a decent job with it. At times aspects of the movie definitely had a low budget feel to it, and I thought once you saw one of the super slow motion scenes, the following scenes definitely lost their cool factor, but overall, I was pleasantly surprised. Was nowhere near the atrocity I thought it was going to be, and it was actually pretty entertaining.

This early afternoon went to go see End Of Watch with the wife.

It was very good, but it actually was not as good as people were making it out to be IMO.

Also I really have to say it, I am 110% totally over the POV camera approach. I really am. It is pretty much a gimmick at this point in time, and it is just played out to me. Not only that, for the dark scenes, could not tell what the **** was going on. Just stupid IMO.

But yeah with all that said, it is a good movie. It is.

8/10

Also a side note, one of the trailers before EOW was Lincoln. It is a Steven Spielberg movie with Daniel Day Lewis playing Abraham Lincoln. It looks like one of those movies that will go as an all time great.

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By thartist · Posted

      0 chance of that happening, forget it. Get it installed by some tech guy or do it yourself with the bypasses, that's how MS is being lenient and looking the other way to give users a chance.

    • The future of Samsung's AI-powered education system

      By KMilenkoski1202 · Posted

      So, recently, I saw on the news (yes, on this website) that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.
