From the director of Taken 1. IMDB score is a bit too low for this. Should be ~ 7 IMHO.

[TV][IMAGES] Hannibal Rides (Hannibal Snubbed)

Hannibal (2013-)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2243973/
8.7 (118,000)

“My husband has a very sophisticated palette.”
“He is very particular about how I taste.”
“Is this that kind of party?”

INSMODSCUM always thought this show is very well written and deserves some awards. Interestingly this show has been repeatedly snubbed by Hollywood.

[LINK] [FILM] Survivor (2015)

SMH.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3247714/
5.5 (1,800)

An interesting disappointment. How could a guy who worked on V for Vendetta and The Matrix fuck up a movie so badly? Several (!) good actors, good (?) director, so it must have been the script.

Director
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0574625/

Writer
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1909937/

BTW, the same author is writing for The Mechanic 2 Resurrection (2016), so probably another fucked up movie.

At the end of the movie, there's some text claiming "56 (IIRC) terrorist plots has been thwarted...". INSMODSCUM found it strange that the guy who directed V for Vendetta put that in the movie.

[TV] Mr Robot (2015)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4158110/
9.4 (3,500)

An interesting show. If you are interested in information security you might enjoy it.

A word of caution, avoid reading reviews of Mr Robot, it seems a lot of reviewers spoil the show by mentioning  a major movie from the 1990s.

Regarding realism, although it may be technically correct, it is usually out of context. The writers of the show did due diligence, but probably lack the fundamental understanding of technologies involved. So in terms of hacking realism, it's not on the level of Blackat or The Matrix, but miles ahead of laughably ridiculous Swordfish, etc.

A minor spoiler though, please enjoy a female lead (above), a "cyber" security professional, ask "what is a rootkit?".

Yes, I know this movie is for kids, big and small, so it's perfect for Insurgency, Red Orchestra and ARMA gamers.

Recommended.

Ex Machina (2015)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0470752
8.0, 41,000

INSMODSCUM is puzzled by this movie. It is either very good or very bad. IMHO this isn't really SCI FI, but more of a mix of everything.

Black Mirror (2011)

Thanks Charlie Brooker! I'm gonna have to sit on my hands!

One of the actors (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1727304) played a robot in an episode of Black Mirror, a brilliant show written by Charlie Brooker. Black Mirror is on the same level as The Wire and Breaking Bad.

8.8, 31,000
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Right_Back_(Black_Mirror)

Her (2013)

FUCKING WINDOWS! Fucked up MBR (Master Boot Record) probably.

Another recent technology film that is an overrated, hipster,  shite is Her (2013). Her (2013) is also about machines, but it is written by and for idiots.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1798709/

Chappie (2015)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1823672/
7.2, 48,000
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/chappie/
30%, 2015.05.19

Yes, there are problems with Chappie, but why do 70% of critics hate it?. INSMODSCUM likes Blomkamp, District 9 and Elysium were both entertaining and had a message.

Recall Matt Damon programming in assembly in Elysium; Blomkamp is very good at combining realism and sometimes over-the-top action.

Rotten Tomatoes gives Furious 7 (2015) an 82% and Avengers: Another Fucking Superhero Movie (2015) a 74%.

There's something wrong with these numbers. INSMODSCUM never cared for Rotten Tomatoes, and after this SNAFU you should not either.

TLDR: Black Mirror is like The Wire, see it; you may like Ex Machine (2015), you *should* like Chappie (2015), ignore Rotten Tomatoes .

[MOVIES] [PICS] Recent Trend Towards Firearm Realism and Information Technology Realism in Hollywood Movies & TV

John Wick (2014)

It seems that lately big budget Hollywood movies are increasingly depicting "tactical" or "tacticool" firearm handling skills. Same goes for computer technologies, although there is still a long way to go (CSI Cyber is probably not helping).

Firearm Realism

John Wick (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2911666/)
Taken 3 (shitty movie, but for an example of realism - notice the trigger discipline when Liam is carjacking a passerby) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2446042/)

Information Technology Realism

Horrible Bosses 2 (mention of NSA, BitCoins, jailbreaking) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2170439/)
House of Cards S02 (hit-and-miss, some episodes are excellent such as the one explaining TOR, others are laughable) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1856010/)

[PICS] Blackhat (2015), Tom Cruise, Mission Impossible 5 Rogue Nation, Motorcycle Realism, BMW S1000RR

Tom Cruise, BMW S1000RR, Mission Impossible 5 Rogue Nation

Blackhat (2015) BluRay is coming out on 2015.05.12 (May 12), about four weeks away. INSMODSCUM can't wait!

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Blackhat-Blu-ray/118461/

While INSMODSCUM is waiting, here's some Tom Cruise and Mission Impossible 5 Rogue Nation bike porn. MI4 was decent, so hopefully Tom Cruise will not disappoint and the bike scenes will be better than MI2.

[TV] 2015 Best & Worst TV Show Realism

Good Realism:

The Knick (with Clive Owen) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2937900/)

The Americans (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2149175/)

"The Americans" is awesome.  The following acronyms are mentioned (with no explanation) withing the first couple of minutes of S03E01: SAD (every self-respecting gamer should know this), NE (even INSMODSCUM had to look this up, they later explain that this is short for Near East Division (Afghanistan-Pakistan). And as a bonus, there's a lot of amusing sex scenes in the show.

Shitty Realism

Fargo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2802850/)

TBD Realism

Better Call Saul (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3032476/)
