  1. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - :4.0:

     

    As expected, a great movie. This film is mainly made of epic scenes, which are all totally enjoyable (despite the fact that some of them are kinda short). A 3rd part that concludes Bilbo Baggins' adventures with flourish. The visual effects are mindblowing, as always, the sequence of events take place in a comprehensible way and overall it is really well done. In short, a film that is worth to be watched at the movies. I'm looking forward the extended edition to come out and hopefully it will have 30 minutes of extra-scenes.
     
    Peter Jackson and his team really did a good job during the last few years with the three movies, I congratulate them.
     
    The Other Guys - :3.0:

     

    Boredom was killing me before I started watching this movie, and it really helped me. I spent a good moment even if this film is clearly not a masterpiece, still funny. Also, it's kinda disappointing that Dwayne Johnson doesn't figure as a main character, but whatever. I guess it's better like that.
     

    Just Go with It - :3.5:

     

    Watched it yesterday night. Adam Sandler (not a bad producer, btw) and Jennifer Aniston are two actors that I really appreciate and as I had nothing to watch, I decided to go ahead with this movie. I enjoyed it, not boring at all and it's a decent romantic comedy film imo. I think I could watch it again and it'd still be funny.


  2. Crows Explode - :2.0:

     

    Kinda disappointed by this one, cool movie without any further. Before watching it I was thinking that the movie was directed by Takashi Miike but as the movie was going on, I automatically concluded that this couldn't be a movie worthy of Sir Takashi (I was true). The film proposes many new faces including some useless characters, and most of them terribly lack of charisma. I've only been captivated by Goura (the coolest one, imo. Sad he hasn't a leading role like Takayuki Yamada in the two first movies), Fujiwara, Hiroki and maybe Gohei. Fights aren't as much numerous and enjoyable as the two previous movies' ones (though they still cool, kinda enjoyable and more realistic than those of CZ I & II). Plus, if Kazeo and Ryohei are supposed to be the successors of Genji and Serizawa respectively (charismatically speaking, of course), then I'd say "what an epic fail, huh". Although the length of the film is of 2 hours, Toshiaki Toyoda couldn't manage to deliver us a good movie as Takashi Miike did with the two previous. By that I mean that the unwinding of events is kinda fucked up, by times I feel like it goes in all directions incomprehensibly. So yeah, the allotted time is not really well managed imo. The OST of this movie is also poor (quantitatively speaking, not qualitatively), thankfully that Blow Your Mind by Dragon Ash is the ending song. The band had to raise the overall level of the movie, jeez. Obviously, I'm just kidding. I never read the manga before but if ever it's possible, I really hope that a 4th movie will come out (especially to see what happens with Rindaman). All in all, a decent movie but clearly not a worthy successor of the two past. Still, I recommend you to watch it to have your own opinion about it. The film is actually kinda enjoyable if you don't pay attention to the mentioned details. 

     

    Crows Explode is the kind of movie that especially gives me an urge to watch Crows Zero I & II so that I can remember that these two movies were actually awesome, and why this 3rd one is not that good.

     

    Btw, I'm just gonna leave this here. Dragon Ash for the fucking win!!

     

     

    The Great Gatsby (2013) - :3.5:

     

    Good film. It wasn't easy for me to get into the movie but with the minutes it really captivated me and I really liked the story. Haven't read the book but this adaptation is certainly a good one. This movie has the kind of background that I really enjoy, sad that in a part of the movie the OST ruined the atmosphere I was slowly getting into (yes, I am referring to those rap/hip-hop songs). Nothing more to say except that it's a good movie that despite not being a masterpiece, this movie is enjoyable.

  3. So they basically made an amalgamation of Lili and Xiaoyou?

     

    Harada, what the fuck.

     

    Kinda, yeah. I have nothing against the character but at the same time I honestly think that it's somewhat exaggerated for such game (you might say that a game having a Panda or a Kangaroo as fighters on it could make everything else look normal, but yeah). There are some cute characters on Tekken but this one is really from another level above, I feel like she has no place in the game. Still, the fact that she will be added in Tekken 7 doesn't bother me at all.
    Of course, as long as some new DECENT characters are announced.
     

     

    That's so good. lol

    I'm really wondering what should we expect concerning that "idea"...

     

    Btw, to have a better preview of the graphics, a new video of the game has been uploaded turning at 60FPS. Knowing that the graphics are around 70-80% of their power (according to Tekken's programmer, in Harada's tweet), I think that's pretty good overall. We can easily notice a graphical refinement in the fighters. The first thing which leaps to the eyes (or at least, to my eyes) is the sweat, new graphical detail that is finally here. Seeing it for the first time in-game looks kinda weird (not awful or anything) so I need to get used to it, which will be a matter of time.

     


  4. ^ I don't agree with you on one point. What if people who liked that post (including me) might have found it funny, without necessarily agreeing with it? So from now on, I want these buttons on MH: "I agree", "I disagree", "I find it funny" and "Not funny" so that we'll stop trying to interpret the meaning of a button... C'mon, this is ridiculous. Both of them are wrong about what they've said, one posted a pointless comment of what he wants the band to do and the other one felt offended by those words. And that's all. Not a big deal, huh? Let's try to stay on topic and stop bullshitting about pointless stuff, ffs.


  5. The Wolf Of Wall Street:3.0:

     

    According to what my surroundings told me about this movie, I was expecting something amazing and I'm disappointed. I don't get all the excitement there was concerning this movie... This was just good, without any further. Though it was really fun, I kinda enjoyed it.

     

    I Spit on Your Grave (2010) -  :2.5:

     

    First of all, gotta say I haven't seen the original movie from 1978. And guess that's the next movie in my "to watch list", after the 2nd movie released in 2013.
     

    Going back the 2010 one, it's a decent movie. The storyline is kinda interesting but imo this one isn't enough elaborated to make of it a masterpiece. The thing is that events take place so quickly and in the blink of an eye, I find myself at the end of the movie. But all in all, a good movie if boredom is killing you.


  6. The graphics details are indeed so good. 

     

    Damn, already the 4th game and I never played to the past ones. I really need to start the Uncharted saga asap '-'

    But sadly I need to save some money the next year for other stuff. Too bad that there isn't a PS3 emulator to enjoy all the games I have never been able to play.


  7. New Tekken 7 character has been anounced - behold, Lucky Chloe. shitty name if you ask me but whatever

    1418027933-4534-artwork.jpg

     

     

    So kawaii. :3

    Nah seriously, I like her. She seems to have some cool combos and yeah, the design is not bad. Though I'm still waiting for a total fucking badass fighter to be announced.

     

    So there are 3 new fighters already, I guess and hope that 3 more will be added.

    ____________________________________________________________________

     

    Now going to Street Fighter's side, the 5th game has been announced as Street Fighter V (exclusive to PS4 & PC).

     

     

     

    Looks great to me. Can't wait to see more. 


  8. Sad news... I hope everything will be all right for Sala and the band.

    I personally don't want the band to split up, definitely not. But if ever they disband and Ice (or Eros, whatever) sums up the activities of XodiacK then it would probably be the most useful disband ever seen in the VK scene. And of course, as long as Ice (or Eros) doesn't decide to turn XodiacK into a BGFNS 2.0. There again, do not think that I'm wishing BGFNS to split up because that would be a misconception of my comment. Anyway, I hope that the band will manage to hold on.


  9. Sure, that's a fact. And talking about all the bands that do this kind of stuff, in most cases the original versions are better than the re-records (thankfully not always, but yeah).
     

    There is only one band from Québec that I know, and it's Forteresse. I know another one by name (only tried one or two songs from them), which is Blasphemy (though I'm not sure if they're Québecian, I think not). Forteresse is an atmpospheric black metal and "Québécois nationalist" band, so their lyrics are focused on patriotism and that kind of stuff. And concerning the lyrics, they're always written in French.

    Awesome stuff, huh. And that's all what I know about the Québecian black metal scene (you can notice that my knowledge about that scene is over 9000) so I personally wouldn't mind discovering some bands. That'd be great actually.


  10. ^ It's available now on CD as exclusive, limited to 2000 items. So if you definitely wanna grab it, hurry up! → Link.

     

     

    Behemoth shouldn't touch old Behemoth. Leave The Return of the Northern Moon, ...from the Pagan Vastlands, Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic), And the Forests Dream Eternally alone, Grom and Satanica alone. Just stop wasting your time on re-recordings. That goes for all GOOD bands. Use your time more wisely. Write a new song instead. Masturbare. Eat some chocolate. Slap your bitch. Do anything beside re-recording classics. Jesus fucking christ.

     

    xDD. Couldn't agree more, but hey, at least they didn't killed the song. I mean, it doesn't sound horrible or something.

     


  11. Didn't know that Behemoth released an EP recently this year, titled Xiądz

     

    Available only on vinyl through their official webstore. Available in gold, black and gold/black splatter vinyl limited to 2000 copies world wide.

     

    Nieboga+Czarny+Xidz+BehemothXIADZ.png

     

    Tracklist:

     

    1. Nieboga Czarny Xiądz

     
    Good stuff overall, as always. Nieboga Czarny Xiądz and Towards The Dying Sun We March are really good songs... Only listened it once but I difentely should give this EP several listens. Concerning Moonspell Rites I prefer the version of And the Forests Dream Eternally, which sounds more black-ish. But still this new version is so good, updated in accordance to their new sound. I dig it.

  12. I mostly use my smartphone for its main utility; calling and eventually, texting. My mother bought the Samsung Galaxy S2 the day it came out in Belgium (so 3 years and 6 months ago) and then she gave it to me after a year, and it still works perfectly today. I have lost count of how many times it fell to the ground and still keeps working, I dunno if whether it's by luck or the phone is as much solid as the Nokia 3310, but I'm really glad with it. Though I think the S2 is no longer available for sale... Screw that marketing strategy.

    But anyway, if ever you'll have to chose between an iPhone and a Samsung, go for the Samsung. Then, concerning the Motorola, I haven't heard bad things about it so it would also be a good choice. Plus, many people say that it's a better phone than the last Samsung phones that came out... So yeah, give the priority to the Motorola over the Samsung.


  13. The Ballad of Narayama - :4.5:

     

    Really an awesome movie. The filmmaker decided to focus on the realism side of the movie and he fully succeeded; a Japanese village (apparently, around a century ago) surrounded by nothing but wildlife, and the purpose is to survive. Its realistic side show us the disgusting appearance of life and the way people lived at the time. And that's roughly the context. I won't go into details and explain the storyline, I recommend you this movie to see by yourself. 

     

     


  14. I feel as if I am running dry on what horror sub-genres I enjoy. I do not quite feel anything for slashers and gore (quite frankly, it is not that I do not enjoy them because of the fright, but I simply do not see the appeal of flying guts and intestines) and am always leaning toward hauntings, possessions and classes related to other demonic ánd angelic entities of any sort. Perhaps I am simply not looking in the right place, but I am having a difficult time finding good titles.

     

    Recently I have seen As Above, So Below, (it did actually catch my attention because of the title itself — with me being a BEHEMOTH fan) and it did honestly have me on the edge of my seat (bed). It has been some time I did actually grow anxious about a film and while I have seen relatively bad commentary regarding this title (however, I cannot quite ever find positive commentary on the horror genre on popular movie-collective websites such as IMDB), I do absolutely recommend it to those who have not seen it yet. It is mind-twisting and often confusing yet holds a certain thrill I had not experienced in some time. The idea of being trapped so far underground has always been maddening to me, and especially with this wrenched version of hell I certainly did enjoy myself diffidently.

     

    What a fucking coincidence, I just came here to give my feedback about that movie and now I'm noticing that you saw it too, haha. I also gotta admit that the title caught my attention and it made me wanna watch it (boredom was killing me anyway, so I didn't start reading people's opinion on whether it is a good movie or not). I don't usually watch this kind of movies and it kept me really thrilled, It's definitely a great one. The actors are really good at their roles and I really dig the context of the movie, but I especially like how they don't tell us everything about some details and we have to piece some of those elements by our own. So it kinda lets your imagination to fill the undescribed stuff in the movie.
     
    I too recommend As Above, So Below to those who still haven't watched it. My rating :  :3.5:
     
    Btw, there are some stuff that I didn't understand in the movie so by googling the title I found a good sort of review/analysis. Contains SPOILERS so watch out and make sure you have watched the movie first before checking this link out. 

  15. If ever you still have time for this project then I would be pleased to give you a little help by answering to these questions. Gonna get the thing done right now and keep me informed so that I can send you the PM afterwards.


  16. lol racist 

     

    Good song and album though. Quite a lot of people dislike it but it's the PN album I find myself most often returning to along with the third. 

     

    DAMN, YOU GOT ME ALL FUCKED UP! :(

     

    Yeah that's right, I saw that many people dislike it. I personally discovered the band with "L'Ordure à l'état Pur" and still have 2 or 3 release from them to check out, but it's totally legit to think that said album is really superb. 

     

    I could also add that my favourite Peste Noire album is still the debut album. Medieval black metal that still stands as one of the most unique black metal albums of the 2000's, and Dueil angoisseus as one of the best black metal songs ever. Fucking Neige, man. Love him or hate him, fact is that grim vocals doesn't get more inhuman, ugly and disgusting than his, something he's showcased more than once.

     

    "La Sanie des siècles" is indeed a magnificent album. At first listen "Le mort joyeux" is the track that especially caught my attention the most but "Dueil angoisseus" is without any deny a fantastic song. Those vocals tho... So intense.
