Reply to What Games are You Looking Forward to in 2015? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Gosh, I've been looking forward to a whole lot of games scheduled to come out this year. There's The Witness - touted to be full of cryptic puzzles and picturesque landscapes; the Xbox one game Crackdown - the visuals on display in the trailer look awesome; Evolve - due to release this Feb 10; Star Wars Battlefront - this is the one I'm looking forward to the most of all and also of course Rise of the Tomb Raider. Gosh, it is going to b

Here goes... 1. Schindler's List (1993) : Set in Poland during the time of the second World War, this shows Oskar Schindler becoming gradually concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazis. 2. Psycho (1960): A Phoenix secretary steals forty thousand dollars from her employer's client, goes on the run and then checks into a remote motel run by a young man who is domin

And now, three months down the line, just finished reading this novel by Anthony Doerr called All The Light We Cannot See. The storyline goes like this: Marie-Laure has been blind since the age of six. Her father builds a perfect miniature of their Paris neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. But when the Nazis invade, father and daughter flee with a dangerous secret. Werner is a German orphan, destined to labor in the same mine that claimed his fathe

Reply to What Movie Did You Last See? in Movies & TV & Books Stardock Forums

Same here, watched the Penguins of Madagascar movie two days ago and was rolling in the aisles with laughter throughout the duration of the film. Especially loved Skipper's character, who 'has the heart of an action hero and the swagger to match'! Next on the list- The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies . Hope it's good.

Reply to Anyone watched Disney's Frozen Yet? in Life, the Universe and Everything Stardock Forums

Great movie and great songs.. Agree! Elsa's Let it Go is like an anthem at home now, my daughter loves it so much. And I just came across this news piece yesterday which said: "No one wants to let go of 'Let It Go' more than parents, and Frozen director Jennifer Lee has become brutally aware of that fact. The Oscar-winning director is now apologizing for the phenomenon that swept (and continues to sweep) the nation because adults are fed up with t

Reply to Finding Free Images To Use Legally in Personal Computing Sins Forums

Very useful websites, thank you so much! I only knew of one from the list (Creative Commons) and used whatever relevant images I could find there. By the way, isn't it like if you give any image proper credits (along with a link), it becomes free to use, since you have openly credited the person (say, photographer) in question?

Reply to The movie title that describes your life... go! in Movies & TV & Books Sins Forums

Two movie names come to mind here, in order to describe my own life - one is Working Girl and the other is A Walk to Remember. Working because I love working and more so, have been working since as far back as I can remember, first as a full-time teacher and then as a (more than) full-time parent. And the latter because I feel everything that has happened in my life has had some meaning and they have been (mostly) memorable experiences that have shaped me into the person I a

Reply to Interstellar - dont read, if you dont want to get SPOILED in Movies & TV & Books Sins Forums

Watched Nolan's Interstellar last weekend and was left mesmerized - you could call it an epic of a movie. And it shows how much of effort and thinking has gone into each character and the storyline - the characters are so intricately woven into each other and yet have individual screen presence; the idea that there can come a time when the entire earth is destroyed and we may need to look for shelter elsewhere seemed so very true; the sequences shot in space were more than just amazing.

Reply to Why I Switched to the iPhone 6 from Windows Phone in Personal Computing Sins Forums

iPhone 6 is a good phone, yes. But I do wonder why Apple gets pulled into all these controversies of various kinds each time they come out with a new model of an iPhone. I mean, first there was 'Antennagate', with some problem occurring in the inbuilt antenna part of the phone in one of the earlier models of the iPhone, then this new iPhone 6 and even the iPhone 6 Plus became a part of both the 'Bendgate' and 'Hairgate' controversies. Bendgate is somewhat understandabl

Reply to 25 Best Animated Movies in Movies & TV & Books Sins Forums

Well-compiled list - contains all the stories and fairy tales we used to listen to back in our childhood days! I particularly like these 3 though: Toy Story (1995), Monsters Inc. (2001) and also The Lion King (1994) - especially loved all the characters in the last one. The next big 3D animated movie release this year seems to be How To Train Your Dragon 2 though.. But I somehow loved animation even more when it was not in 3D..

Reply to True Detective in Movies & TV & Books Sins Forums

Read this review of the 'True Detective' somewhere and found it to be so apt: "A compelling jumble of philosophy, imagery, murder and wigs, True Detective is the first great new show of 2014 and a welcome addition to the television landscape." Very welcome indeed.

Is it really over? I just began watching the first couple of episodes from the firsts season last month after friends recommended it made for really good viewing - loved both Karl Urban as well as Michael Ealy in the show. I just read online that it did have a pretty sluggish start but then it picked up steam along the way... Sad [e digicons]-_-[/e]

Godzilla. At the theater last weekend. My son (all of 8 years old) had been so eager to watch it but he ended up in my lap half the time, though he couldn't take his eyes off the screen for even a second and even forgot to eat his popcorn! Beats me why these kids love evil monsters and villainous dragons of all sorts; now he is looking forward to next month's Ho

The Sound and the Fury (By William Faulkner) It is a story about the disintegration of the Compson family, and is very riveting. Could not keep the book down till I reached the back cover.

Reply to The Big Guy (Godzilla) does well in box office, one of two last Legendary Pictures with Warner Brothers in Movies & TV & Books Stardock Forums

Watched the movie last weekend and it was a delightful film. Is it really the last movie with regard to Warner Brothers? That's sad, they'll be missed. As you said, the legendary logo at the beginning of the movie does have that reassuring feel to it somehow, a sense of familiarity and reminiscent of good times.
