And since it seems to be the theme of the week (apart from Warcraft). I still have an iso somewhere with approx 150 oldies, ranging from wolfenstein 3D over colonization (sequel of civ) to almost every adventure game ever created. If anyone is interested in archeology, or just suffering from acute nostalgia, just let me know :). Kenny Billiau wrote:
Hi,
I know it's a bit unannouced, but these are the current 'new' movies I've recently downloaded. If you want some, drop your hd at my desk ;) (mine still is ext3 formatted, so that sucks for all you windows users.)

The things that are worth seeing are: The Thin Red Line: very slow starting WWII movie, but having an equally emotional climax as Platoon. Excellent framing and landscaping. This movie got released in the same year as Saving Private Ryan and this resulted in an undeserved missing of the spotlight. It's also worht mentioning that the director only made three movies and that his previous one was more than 20years before The Thin Red Line. Platoon: well, gripping and realistic Vietnam movie. Children of Men: Made me have respect for Clive Owen. I like these post-apocalyptic movies without the world being nuked. Cloverfield: handycam shot horror movie. Avalanches: it's only a music video, but makes me smile each time. Blood Diamond: dramatic but strangely nihilistic. Gran Torino: grumpy 'feel good' movie. You've gotta take 'feel good' with an enormous amount of salt tho. Burn After Reader: kick ass movie. I went from wtf to WTF throughout the whole thing. Brilliant. Hearts of Darkness: kind of the making of Apoclaypse Now. Everytime I see this, I want to create things. Coppola really has too much enery. Match Point: an agreeable Woody Allen movie. It made me smile through the ending. Unforgiven: Another Clint Eastwood movie from 1992. Bad quality but an excellent western. In Bruges: It's got an English touch and reminded me therefor of Snatch. It's slower paced tho. Wonder Boys: for the potsmokers amougst us. Battleship Potemkin: it's black and white and from 1925, so without sound. The amazing thing about the movie is how they showed people being shot (a closeup of a women shot through the glasses), so it's realistic and brutal. I haven't managed to look through the whole movie tho. Tora!x3: 3 hour epos about the attack on Pearl Harbor. Very slow paced, but extremely realistic. Nicely done. De Leeuw Van Vlaanderen: makes me laugh from beginning till end. What a mess.
