I kinda agree. But i don't forget the moments where it did entertain me. The amount of fun i still remember, so that should count for something.

[MENTION=8060]abobobilly[/MENTION] it got so many bad reviews that i altogether just skipped it hahaha....
Saw " tak3n" premiere at dha cinema tonight
So yes the final part as they say it in the trilogy is out in cinemas and i saw it !
yeah taken one was awesome, it went downhill by taken 2 but this one was entertaining in it's own way with twists and turns, had suspense to it and not the usual payback like thingie in taken 2. there was drama and grief in it too.
bryan mills is back again in his town minding his own business when he's suddenly targeted for a crime he has not commited and is on the RUN by the police and the baddies
so he's being gunned down by both the justice and the criminals...
anyways won't say more since it can probably spoil it for others, the movie was average about with some good action etc and well liam neeson ofcourse.
IMO they shouldn't even had bothered to make taken 2 or 3, first one was THE BEST and should had just ended it right there, these money hungry producers and directors damn it, ruined the original by making sequels.
Rating: 7/10 ( Originally a 6.5 but those last moments got thrilling and that last part nice )

u mean during action scenes chase sequences etc ? yeah i think it does, it has liam neeson yar, can he run or hop over fences
he fracking needs stunt doubles haha
So I'll list the films of 2014 I've really enjoyed.
Snowpiercer - 4/5
Joon-ho Bong never fails to impress. Some really memorable action sequences, almost demanding to be engaged.
The Grand Budapest Hotel - 4.5/5
Probably some of the best all rounded performances and a visual feast.
Cold in July - 4/5
Welcome back Michael C. Hall. Suspense done right and one hell of a crime drama.
John Wick - 4/5
This film reminded me so much of Hotline Miami, and I really dug it. Based Keanu Reeves.
Whiplash - 5/5
Holy shit this blew me away. The adrenaline in the pacing had me almost sweating. It's so straightforwardly wrapped in its minimal narrative but done with an intensity that is just ferociously gripping. J. K. Simmons should deservingly bag an Oscar for his performance since his character made the progression all that more explosive. To add more, I love jazz music and the pieces done in this film were just incredible and brought a kind of thrill to the overall theme. I'd go as far as saying that this was weirdly but authoritatively the most memorable thriller I've seen in a long time. Bloody drums.
Side Note: Films I'm anticipating to watch:
- Birdman
- Nightcrawler

its dvd scr is out along with lots of others , it has high rating must be good
@Ranger Taffles ........ I saw Cold in July last wee, it was pretty intense, infact it was so intense that I didn't even realize how stupid and nonsensical the plot was until after the film was over and I thought about it for a minute.
It's a well directed movie with a poor plot. Great to watch though.

[MENTION=11904]Ranger Taffles[/MENTION] birdman and nightcrawler dvdscreeners out.. into the woods and many other movies dvdscr out too
Saw Nightcrawler... What can I say, the guy gave me the creeps. A nice flick overall 8/10.
Planning on watching The Imitation Game today...
KICK (2014)
... Its like an adrenaline rush ...
YESSSS. This is how a Salman Khan blockbuster should be. Comedic, Romantic, Cheesy, High Masala Entertainment, something which demands the brain to be turned off, something which is just HAPPY everywhere. I had much more fun watching Kick. Actually had quite a few 'kicks' on many occasions. Don't mind the 'master thief' stuff it boasts, or the handful of cheap CGI. Stunts for the most part were definitely praise worthy, given a Bollywood project.
I have grown fond of Tick Tock strategy of some movie makers. Shah Rukh Khan gave this idea a big boost, and now Salman Khan catches it, and does it well, i must say. First half 'being human', and the second, a 'DeviL'; 'Peechay danger, agay dangerous'. And i love how Kick pays homage to his older movies such as Wanted (2009). First 8-9 minutes of Kick are the most beautiful, with Jacqueline Fernandez dazzling the screen. Never seen her THIS stunning. Was deeply adoring her, until the 'explosive' intro of Salman Khan brought me out of that. Yeah, overdone, but still funny and likeable. After that, its a constant ride of fun, humor and just romance. 'All-show-no-go café ‘kick’', the 'police station ‘kick’', 'Only I can call her sweet heart', maximum fun.
The second half, with DeviL and those 'Traditionally Abuses will lead to bany log', well the focus shifts greatly, and my only grip is the absence of Jacqueline Fernandez's lovely role. But Randeep Hooda (Police Officer Himanshu Tyag), who is also my favorite (you should see him in 'poetic' rules such as Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye (2009), or Jism 2 (2012)) keeps the thrill alive. Plus, his and DeviL's exchange of amusing dialogues kept me hooked. Not to mention ... the classic moments of them both against one another, once at that 'Sharabi Terrace', and later 'in Police Station'. What a great performance by Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Shiv Gajra. Love the way these guys keep it so ... 'natural', and 'desi'.
Now i understand Why the recent Salman Khan recent movies are trying to give a few meaningful lessons. Except, in Jai Ho (2014) where the delivery of those lessons was rather stupid, Kick focuses on the 'children', and how 'wealthy corrupt f*cks' are the reason for current state of Society (goes for both Pakistan and India, and almost certainly rest of the world too); the lesson had weight. And the execution, mildly heart piercing. Don't forget the 'Café lesson'. Its also thought provoking, seeing him find 'kick' in smile of a child, instead of 'making money'. (This part specifically has much more meaning to it, which i am sure many of you would simply ignore.)
Talking about Songs, well as it turns out ... i kinda loved them. Hated the "Yaar Naa Miley" at first, but later found myself loving it greatly. Exciting beats, Nice choreography, with catchy dance moves, perfectly executed by gorgeous Nargis Fakhri. "Hangover" song wasn't that bad as well. Infact, i liked ALL the songs.
I loved Kick. Its exactly what i wanted. A HAPPY movie, something which i can watch with my brain turned off. Something to enjoy greatly. Both Salman and Jacqueline look awesome as a couple, which was totally unexpected, and they share a discreet chemistry. DEEPLY ENTERTAINING. 8/10 Happy Endings can never be bad -_-
Nightcrawler is by far the best movie i watched in 2014. . Yeah me too planning to watch The Imitation Game (Currently downloading via torrent, Hope it turns out to be good)
Saw Nightcrawler... What can I say, the guy gave me the creeps. A nice flick overall 8/10.

The Berlin File.
After much struggling i found this KOREAN movie/ its a thriller, suspense, spy movie that connected with multiple agencies. conflict between korean agents and lust of power break the good communication and dramatized frame up of betrayal in Berlin. At the start movie seems thriller and typical spy action from all sides but i was just confused and feel nowhere in the movie. may be its only me. things gets too much complicated to understand.
but in the middle i get to know what is really going on. so there is a lot of suspense is this very movie. korean are good in making Masterpieces. this is one of the masterpiece that you have to think for every second moment/move, you dont know what happens next, until the movie's over that is why it is a masterpiece. love th movie. will have to watch it again for clearing things out. 9/10
its a full jam packed suspense, thriller movie, everyone should see, as reocommened. especially to those who like spy movies. [MENTION=4563]opethian[/MENTION] Sir i want to dare again you should see it. if you already didn't.

Taken 3
Holy mother of shaky cams! Whoever was behind the camera, you sir don't deserve to hold a camera ever again. Other than that, It was a very average flick but it was entertaining and I had a good time. There was this one particular scene at the end involving a car and a plane which made it all worth it - gave me goosebumps.

The imitation game 2014 :
movie is 1:50 mins long but looks quite fast paced , cumberbatch saves the movie with strong performance other actors might have failed . Overall very good movie , I always admired Alan Turing and his machine contributions of breaking enigma are often ignored , cause Americans takes the whole credit themselves by bombing japan , but breaking enigma saved UK ass , and utilising it properly , Germans were stupid they were to proud that enigma won't be decoded until end of wars days they realized when it was to late .
8.75/10

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said: -

It has a worst rating on Steam than last years MW3 now. Jeese Sony, how can you fuck it up THIS BAD

faraany3k:
I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.
