LastPass for iOS Update: Rotation Support for iPad, More Security Options
Here are the specifics:
Logoff After Idle
Previously, you could enable the option to automatically logoff your account on close of the LastPass app. We've now added the option to automatically logoff when the app goes idle for a period of time, so even if the app is running in the background your LastPass session can still be killed after a period of inactivity.
To enable the setting, login to the LastPass app, tap the "More" button, and tap to the Settings menu. Select the "Never logoff when idle" option to set a time limit. The next time you multitask away from LastPass and pass the time limit, your LastPass session will end and you will be asked to login the next time you launch the app.
Require Pin After Idle
For those who find themselves frequently multitasking back and forth between LastPass and other apps, you can now fine-tune the use of the pin code option to avoid constantly re-entering it. Previously, users could enable the pin code prompt, and would be required to re-enter it whenever multitasking back to the LastPass app.
Now, you can enable the pin code prompt, but also select a time limit to delay re-prompting of the pin code. This will allow you to more easily copy-paste app logins or other data, while still protecting your LastPass account with the pin code prompt after the time period has lapsed.
When you tap the More menu to open the Settings menu, you can tap the "Require pin after returning from background" option to set a customized time limit.
Note that if the time limit enabled for the pin code reprompt is more than the time selected for the "Require pin after idle" option, the autologoff option will override the pin code prompt. You will then be logged off of the app by default and will be required to log back in as opposed to just entering the pin code.
Complete Rotation on the iPad
The LastPass Premium iOS app now supports rotation in the vault view and across all of our menus for increased functionality on the iPad. Part of our Premium upgrade, the app allows users an alternative for accessing data and logging in to sites via the iPad.
And more!
After logging in to the LastPass app, you'll see that some of our graphics and menus have received a bit of a polish - many are now larger to make it easier to tap through options. We also continue to make improvements and bug fixes. For example, we've added support for mobile policies for Enterprise users, including enforcement of the pin code prompt, autologoff after idle, and disallowing the "remember password" option.
We're working hard to bring more updates and improvements to our mobile apps and browser addons - stay tuned!

Please Please Please create the ability to use the LastPass app / browser and INTEGRATE the ability to Sync Xmarks favorites with this browser.ReplyDelete
I either want to use Safari (on my iphone) or LastPass but Safari forces me to use the Bookmarklettes for whcih I'm constantly having to "Log In" to LastPass which defeats the purpose of a quick login. And the other (Last Pass) does not have all of my Favorites Sync'd.
Could you please add the ability to disable or change the language? Russian translation is awful! My eyes is bleeding every time I launch your app.
Can you help us make it better too? https://lastpass.com/translate.phpDelete
Kinda off topic I knowN but I need help. I'm curremtly being severely hacked- they've taken over my LastPass premium application and completely reconfiqured it- there's even a spot on the app now for "force local login" and if I set a password that has say 10 characters they will either insert unicode control characters to make entering a password impossible or shorten up the password box in length so if my password is 8 characters, the box will only accept 7. I'm sure that you wouldn't endorse hackers manipulating an application that is meant for security- please help me put a stop to thismReplyDelete

These problems should be reported directly to email@example.com so we can investigate the situation with you.

Thnx for the update. As soon as I search for a website with in Last Pass it crashes and says no such website. (iOS version) so I have NO access to any usernames or passwords. I bought the paid version so needless to say I'm more than a little upset.ReplyDeleteReplies
If you continue to see these errors please report them directly to the team at support at lastpass dot com so we can investigate further with you.Delete

I'm with Dean. Please include the integration he mentioned. That would be huge.ReplyDelete
Agreed with the integration, this is the biggest reason I bought an android tablet rather than an iPad. The Dolphin integration with lastpass and xmarks is paramount to browsing, and let's face it, we primarily use a tablet to browse with, as they aren't the greatest for content creation and getting work done compared to a laptop.ReplyDelete
+1 for same for Android app please!!!ReplyDelete
Seems like the new iPhone app always awakens on the Options screen.ReplyDelete
Sorta weird.

Kendall Skye is a huge fan of the Denver Broncos, and the WWE developmental wrestler even took the journey to New Jersey to watch her favorite NFL team play in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, they were soundly dominated and defeated by the Seattle Seahawks, though.
Prior to becoming a star in professional wrestling, Ahmed Johnson, whose real name is Anthony Norris, played middle linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys for two seasons (1990 and 1991). He wasn't a big star, nor did he receive a lot of playing time, so he's not remembered by too many NFL fans.
After playing football collegiately for the University of Miami and professionally for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, Lex Luger made his way to the NFL when he signed with the Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately, though, he never played a single regular season game for the team.

Post subject: First play of FC - The Navajo Incident
Hi everyone, I have recently been bitten by the SFB bug (again) and pulled out all my old stuff. I set up a simple duel and several hours later had managed to work my way through it. Boy was it hard work, remembering and reading all that stuff , it had been 20+ years since I last played, only the use of impulse cards kept the game from stalling completely.
So I went online to see what was new for the game (to say there is a lot more is an understatement!) and I stumbled across FC. I was already somewhat aware of FC but with such a back catalogue of SFB stuff, I never really considered it. I downloaded the First Missions pack read through and ran through a simple duel, still undecided I purchased the reference rulebook from e23, which is really quite good value as you get free updates.
On the Commanders Circle site, I found a simple scenario to try, (8CM31) The Navajo Incident. I was going to use SFB SSDs but the required frigates and freighter are available as a download so I grabbed them and set it up.
Initial impressions of FC are very favourable. I was a little vary of the ,on the fly, energy allocation but it works very well. I did miss having a scatterpack for the Klingons but everything else felt right. Everyone seemed to have a little more power, this seemed to favour the Fed frigate as it managed to overload both its photons and still buzz around, something I recall was far more difficult in SFB.
Here is a short report on the battle.
The battle started with the freighter making for its exit zone at speed 16, the Klingon needed to be quick! The Fed moved to cover the freighter and flaunt its weaker rear shields trying to tempt the Klingon into preemptive fire. The Klingon tractored the freighter and dragged it across the board. The Federation frigate followed the Klingon closely with overloaded photons. As the Klingons approached the six hex board edge zone in which the Fed frigate could fire they dropped their tractor and spun off at speed. The Klingons attempted to knife fight the Feds as the freighter swung around and headed back to its exit area, keeping out of overload range. Although the Klingon frigate kept up pressure on the Feds taking down its number two shield and scoring a couple of internals, the Feds kept their overloaded torpedoes ready knowing that at some point the Klingons will have to tractor the freighter again. The Klingons had not done enough to slow down the Fed frigate and as the freighter approached its exit area they had to charge in and tractor it again. A high energy turn and at range one two fully overloaded photons and the Klingon vessel was in tatters. The Feds had taken a fair bit of damage too but as the undamaged freighter serenely exited, the board there was only one winner.
An interesting and tense battle where the Klingons have to make all the running. Very impressed with the rules as during the battle that took about an hour and a half to play I used direct and defensive fire, drones, transporters, hit and run raids, tractoring and tractor auctions, evasive manoeuvres, high energy turns, repairs and control systems. Each rule was quick and easy to implement. Not sure I got the movement of the tractored ship right, the Klingons had it at range one in the hex to their front right, when they turned left I moved the freighter two hexes to maintain this relationship, is that correct?
Might replay this scenario, need to find a way for a Klingon win, any ideas?

No. The tractored ship stays in the same location relative to map direction. If the ship is in direction 'B' from your ship it stays in direction 'B' from your ship, so as you turn the tractored ship will face different shields on you.

Thanks storeylf - just like in regular SFB then. I am trying not to make assumptions and play the game as it is written (or at least try)
OK - so anyone have any ideas how to win this as the Klingons - looks tough...

Post subject: Klingon tactics
Hey TrotskyTrotsky,
For the Klingon's I have had sccess staying in the 9-15 range and using disruptors to weaken shields. Then on the last impulse I launch drones and do so again on the first impulse of the next turn. This forces the defender to deal with both waves and the Klingon ship when it comes in.
Once you decide to close for the kill, I prefer to not overload the disruptors but save everything for phasers and shield reinforcement. Usually by the time the other side has dealt with the drones they are short on energy. When playing against the Feds this forces them to choose between overloading photons or having photons and phasers.
Just some of the tactics I have learned.

Hi there.
We tried this scenario the past weekend and could absolutely not understand how the Klingons could win. I believe these is some special rule missing or we completely misunderstand the initial settup.
My point being, if the Fed player controls the freighter, the map is not floating and the Klingons start at 15 hexes of distance from the freighter it is just mathematically impossible for the Klingons to prevent the freighter from simply moving of the map at the end of round 1.
Even at constant 24+1 , if the freighter is at 16+1 it can simply move off the map.
What are we missing here ?

Office of Development at Tarleton State University
Endowed Gifts
Providing a fundamental, ongoing gift that will touch the lives of students every year.
Endowments are the financial foundation of a university. Rather than used for immediate needs, endowed funds are invested. The earnings on these investments provide a stable, ongoing source of funds for scholarships, professorships, operations, and other areas of campus life where there is a need. The goal is to use enough earnings to accomplish the purpose for which the endowment was created, while retaining a portion to allow for growth.
By creating an endowment at Tarleton, you provide a fundamental, ongoing gift that will touch the lives of students every year.
Because endowments generate support forever, they are especially valuable and appropriate for donors who wish to leave a legacy at Tarleton. Whatever your interest, there is most likely an area on campus that can benefit through an endowment.
Through the gift of an endowment, you become a partner in Tarleton's mission to respond to our growing and changing society. You can make a lasting difference in the lives of countless students. We sincerely appreciate your consideration of these opportunities.
Types of Endowments
Scholarships enable deserving students to earn their degrees. Without the help of endowed scholarships, many students would be unable to pursue their dream of college education. The minimum funding requirement for an endowed scholarship of $10,000.
Operations and Programs
Endowments for operations and programs enhance the University's ability to provide top quality, state-of-the-art educational opportunities for students. These endowments may be established to benefit any operational or educational area on campus.
To enhance a program to a level of excellence that cannot be achieved through its normal budget requires an endowment with minimum funding in the amount of $1,000,000.
Academic Department
The endowing of an academic department at Tarleton provides the resources necessary for the department to excel. It does so by supplementing the departmental budget. Funding at the $3,000,000 minimum level will not only elevate departmental operations, but also entitle you to a naming opportunity.
Fellowships, lectureships, professorships, chairs, distinguished chairs, and visiting chairs propel Tarleton's educational mission to greater heights or achievement. Each of these endowments enables the University to recruit and retain faculty members who excel in their areas of specialty and positively impact the students they teach. Specifically, these endowments provide funds to defray or supplement a designated professor's salary, as well as their research and travel expenses. In addition, a lectureship may be used to establish a guest lecture or speaker series. Minimum funding levels are:
- Fellowships: $50,000
- Lectureship: $250,000
- Professorships: $500,000
- Chair: $1,000,000
- Distinguished or Visiting Chair: $2,000,000
School or College
Each of Tarleton's five academic colleges changes the lives of students. An endowment helps the benefited college by providing the operational funds necessary to ensure the best possible educational experience. The funding minimum to endow any of these academic units is $5,000,000 and includes a naming opportunity.
Facilities and Equipment
As facilities and equipment age, they need repairs and replacement. A facilities and equipment endowment can help meet or offset cost associated with such repairs or replacement. These endowments help keep the University's physical plant in good shape and running smoothly. The minimum funding level for this endowment is 20% of the cost of the facility or equipment.
If you would like to establish an endowment at Tarleton and help transform lives, please contact Sabra Guerra at (254) 968-9770 or email at email@example.com.
We sincerely appreciate your consideration of these opportunities.
"I am teaching today because of the scholarships I received while at Tarleton. I saw each scholarship as a direct investment in my life as a teacher. That investment will continue to grow as I invest in each of my students in the classroom. It is a gift that keeps on giving."
- Candace Hoggard
"It is such a wonderful feeling knowing that I will have a minimal amount of debt to repay. I have the scholarships I received at Tarleton to thank for that."
- Amy Hudson
"During my time at Tarleton, I was able to gain key leadership skills, such as staff management, presentation and public relation skills, that I use every day in my current career. Without my experiences at Tarleton, uncovering my passions, strengths and career goals would have been an uphill battle."
- Ely Borrero

I prefer agi, but then again I am the guy who used 35 agi over mongoose because of my legendary hate of procs vs passive stats
For druid tanking, which is better? Windwalk (600 dodge rating proc) or 130 Agility? I currently have Malevolence and am wondering which is better overall. If you have any logs to back up the proc being better please let me know.
Ehhh, there hasn't really been enough data available to determine Windwalk vs 130 Agility. Personally I'm sticking with 130 Agility for now.
I'd recommend Agi for a bear.
RNGesus - Saving you unreliably since BC.
Windwalk is technically about 25% more mitigation than Agility. Then again, it's not up all the time and has no threat component.
Depends on if you think 0.8% mitigation or so is worth the inconsistent nature of the proc. Personally, I'm sticking with Agility but I suppose it's not a massive difference either way. (Agility will also be a lot closer at lower gear levels, as the SD gains are a bit more valuable then.)

As we reported earlier this week, Grazia's News Editor Emily Maddick was lucky enough to bag a ticket to this year's Oscar Awards *seethes with jealousy* You, dear readers, helped her decide what to wear (it was the Gorgeous Couture gown that made the cut) and she talked us through her A-list-worthy preparations, from a St Tropez tan to an IV vitamin drip.
Now the day is here! As we type our Emily is on her way to the Oscars ceremony to see everyone from Jennifer Aniston to Kristen Stewart grace the red carpet. So far she's spent the day lunching at the Bel Air Hotel with Mont Blanc and Hilary Swank where she bumped into Margot Stilley. Then there was time for some last minute pampering including a blow dry courtesy of Massimo from Rossano Feretti Beverly Hills - the very hairdresser who's doing Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Roberts' hair tonight.
As Grazia Daily beavers away to report on the latest news from this side of the pond, Emily will be bringing you up-to-the-minute details from the actual real Oscars. Oh, to be in the LA sunshine... So stay tuned to her latest pics as they pop up in the gallery above and on Grazia_Live's Instagram feed. This could get hysterical.

Former 'little' helps out Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island with shoe giveaway
A former "little brother" at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island is paying it forward by holding a "Kicks for Kids" event, which will provide new sneakers to the organization's current little brothers.
At age 10, Chase Ceparano had lost his father to AIDS and was raised by his grandmother while his mother struggled with a terminal illness.
"I was barely showing up to school at the time and my guidance counselor came to me and offered me the opportunity to be mentored," said Ceparano, 28, of Northport. "I promised myself years back that someday I would give back in any way I could."

To thank the organization that helped him, Ceparano, now the creative director for Renarts Footwear and Activewear, asked the independently owned local shoe retailer to help him give back to the organization that gave him so much.
On April 6, the store's East Northport location, at 2060 Jericho Tpke., will provide new shoes to the organization's nearly 50 little brothers between noon and 3 p.m.
"We have 50 littles [ages 7-16] already signed up," said Mark Cox, chief development officer at BBBSLI, which pairs adult volunteers with children facing adversity in a mentoring program. "They'll go there with their big brothers or sisters to get fitted and leave with a pair of their own."
Cox said this is the second shoe fitting event Ceparano's store has hosted, but the April 6 event will be at a larger scale.
"These shoes are premium shoes that these children wouldn't normally be able to afford, so the opportunity to go to the store, pick out the style they like and not have to pay for it is a great opportunity," Cox said. "This also shows the success of our program having Chase come back after being a little brother and creating this opportunity to give back."

We also, in 10 man this week, had a resto shaman get first bite with 0 damage done but quite a bit of threat from early healing.

Dictador 20 Year Solera Rum
Rum Review: Dictador 20 Year Old Solera Rum (93/100)
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on November 18, 2010
(Revised November 2012)
According to the Dictador website, the Dictador 20 Year Old Solera Rum is the result of the fermentation of a mixture of virgin sugar cane honey which has been distilled in part from alembic copper pot stills and in part from continuous column stills. The distillate is aged in reused oak using a Solera method.
The Dictador 20 Year Old Rum therefore, is a solera aged rum with the oldest rum in the bottle being at least 20 years of age. It is bottled at 40 % alcohol by volume in a stylish black 700 ml bottle. The Dictador website also explains that the rum is produced in Colombia, more exactly, on the Caribbean coast of Colombia at Cartagena de Indias City, and is named for Arango Y Ferro who was nicknamed 'Dictador' by the local population of Cartagena de Indias as he rose to prominence in the trade and commerce between the Spanish Colonies and Spain (sometime after 1751). Arango apparently fell in love with the local cane spirit and became an important producer of rum at that time. In 1913, his descendant Don Julia Arango Y Ferro established the Distileria Colombiana.
In The Bottle (5/5)
When I reviewed the Dictador 12 Year Solera Rum I wrote…
"Dictador is a new rum which attempts to meld European marketing style and a Japanese designed bottle presentation with Colombian rum. The product exudes style and luxury and practically has your mouth-watering before you even open the bottle. In my opinion, it is just plain sexy!
I have actually heard complaints from some quarters that the bottle design and presentation is too sexy. To those persons I can only remind them that this is Rum, not soda pop. Let's face it, sexy sells much better than not sexy. As well a nice sexy bottle on the top of the bar which displays the rum is better than something which looks just ordinary.
I love the bottle; I love the sleek box it is contained in; and I love this attention to presentation detail!"
The 20 Year Old has almost an identical presentation, the only difference being the color of the labels which are blue rather than red for the 20-Year-Old. My feelings have not changed and the presentation deserves a perfect score.
In the Glass (9/10)
A dark reddish-brown coppery rum greets the eyes as the Dictador 20 is poured into the glass. This looks much darker than the Dictador 12 year Old rum I reviewed a few weeks earlier. When I tilt my glass to allow the rum to coat the sides, I observe moderately thick legs which traverse their way at a steady pace down the side of my glass.
The aroma from the glass is heavily tainted with oak and baking spice. I smell dark brown sugars and toffee which grows stronger and deeper as the glass decants. A hint of maple sits in the breezes. And accents of cinnamon, nutmeg as well as a firm dash of vanilla rise up to complement the strong oak aroma. I detect a light smokey element in the air which seems to imply dried currants and raisins. I find the combination of aroma to be marvelous, and I spent a good amount of time nosing the glass trying to decipher all the nuances .
In the Mouth (56.5/60)
The initial entry into the mouth is smooth and suave. All the scents which were easily discernible in the glass were much harder to distinguish as flavours in the mouth. in fact, most of the flavours seem to have blended and melted together in a nice harmonious balance which makes identification perilous, but is also a rare treat to the palate.
I would suggest that oak and caramel dominate the rum, but in spite of the age of the rum, (which is apparent on the nose), the oak flavours do not attack you with sharp tannins and citrus zest. Instead, The oak flavours have melted into the rum and appear as a yummy oak and caramel syrup that slides through the palate and carries hints of other the flavours with it. If one noses the rum as one sips, it is easier to distinguish the dry fruits, the vanilla, an impression of maple, and the rich baking spices which are also part of the flavour profile.
I consider the Dictador 20 Year Old Solera Rum as an excellent example of what can be achieved through solera aging techniques combined with masterful blending.
In the Throat (13.5/15)
Although I would describe this rum as medium bodied, it has a long smooth finish which is more consistent with a heavier rum. The wonderful oak and caramel syrup I described earlier leaves a long and lingering impression on the palate and the throat.
The Afterburn (9/10)
The Dictador 20 year Old Solera Blend is extremely well crafted and balanced. I enjoyed how the differing flavours melted together with the caramel and oak. This is a suave, yet rich rum experience!
If you are interested in comparing more scores, here is a link to my other published Rum Reviews.
Suggested Recipe
I will begin by stating for the record that a wonderful rum like the Dictador 20 Year Old may easily be drank neat at room temperature and this would be my first recommendation for anyone who is trying the rum for the first time. Adding a little ice adds a light creaminess to the experience, and is also very enjoyable.
Having said that, I will share one recipe with you. It came about as I was sampling the rum for this review and I began to wonder what it would taste like mixed with Drambuie similar to a "Rusty Nail" which is a Scotch whisky cocktail. I did a little experimenting and came up with a recipe that is similar to the "Deansgate Cocktail". (A Deansgate is made with Rum, Drambuie, and Roses Lime Juice.) My recipe is made with Dictador 20 year Old Rum, Drambuie and a lime garnish. I call it The Drumbeat.
The Drumbeat
1 1/2 oz Dictador Rum
1/2 oz Drambuie
Crushed Ice
Lime slice quartered
Fill a bar-glass half full of crushed ice
Add a quartered Lime Slice
Add the Dictador Rum and Drambuie
Stir and Enjoy!
You may (loosely) interpret the scores as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

Great reviews! I just had some Ron Millonario Solera 15 last week, can't find in many places in Calgary (one place downtown). But my favourite store in the South (J. Webb) and they have the Dictador 20. How different would it be to the Ron Millonario Solera 15? Or should I just buck up and by them both!

Apple reminds Aussies they can buy iPhone 4s on Friday
By the weekend, the iPhone Flaw - sorry, iPhone 4* - will be avilable to buy in 17 countries in addition to the five it's currently available in. On Friday, 30 July, the handset will go on sale in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, …
original g2 anyone
"Apple would like us to point out that all smartphones have their weak spots, for example a design that amplifies signal attenuation caused by bodily contact."
Except my original iPhone G2 that is. Not that i get why but i'd keep schtum about it if i where apple too.
Credit to Apple
"Apple would like us to point out that all smartphones have their weak spots, for example a design that amplifies signal attenuation caused by bodily contact."
Look guys you've got to realise that Apple are just better at everything than everybody else. Jobs says that all smart phones are full of flaws and he must be right because he's the man. However where Apple have stolen a march on everybody else is that the iPhone Flaw's fours (or whatever) are bigger and better than all the other smartphones' flaws put together.
Come on, you've got to admit it's genius. Apple realised that everybody was going crazy for devices with flaws so they designed in flaws that would make everybody else's flaws seem insignificant by comparison and it worked. After all we all know that people don't buy smartphones to make phone calls, that's so twentieth century, so Apple have cunningly designed a UI that actually prevents you from making phone calls which is clearly what everybody needs.
I tell you, those guys are just so far ahead of their time it's unreal. Something about them is unreal anyway.
"the iPhone Flaw - sorry, iPhone 4"
ba-doom, tish
We will find out the ratio of dummies by country
One outcome of Apple selling this electronic Lemon is that we will get a determination of how many dummies actually buy this defective product having been made aware of the numerous problems.
The other hassle Apple will face is that the EU has a different take on selling duff stuff than does the U.S.A.
Keep your big plastic monstrosity, Sir.
I'm an iPhone 4 owner.
Maybe it's because i'm fortunate to live in London and not some Godforsaken ditch like the North, say, but I'm happy to report that it's by far the finest phone I've ever owned.
No dropped calls, no reception issues (and no case, thanks very much). The screen has to be seen to be believed. It's as fast as Hell, too. Amazing device.
You would say that wouldn't you...
After you paid full price for yours.
Oh and by the way the only shit hole in this country is the smoke.
its not Grim up north
I live so far up north we practically have to import sun light.... annnnnndddd guess what? iPhone 4 works perfectly, no dropped calls at all. Ok, i only ever see 3 - 4 bars but works fine.
Maybe if they bought one and gave it a try rather their opinion would matter - but probably not
Well, here I am in my godforsaken ditch
Which I'm quite happy with. Relatively fresh air, no charges to sit in an artificially created traffic jam, cyclists who aren't as twattish as in London- yeah, it's a dump up here. I mean fuck the North York Moors, the Peak District, the Highlands or the Lakes- what I want to see is a miserable urban wasteland stretching out as far as I can see. Even from the top of a big ferris wheel. THAT is scenery.
Nice clean water? A non-victorian sanitation system? Who needs those- want to ride a stinking underground train to work and get vomited on by some homeless guy.
Keep your wine drinking, G-wiz promoting, congested, expensive, mostly ugly shithole of a self-important Citystate, Sir- I'm a northerner (living in Scotland...) and I'm fucking proud of it.
to see if they have any issue with sales levels on virgin launch turf after all this internettery about the signal thing.
Oz Internet
I didn't think the Oz folk had the unfiltered t'internet anymore. Presumably it would be rather trivial for Apple to shove a handful of fivers into the pocket of the man in charge of the firewall and eliminate the whole problem...
Help, they're after me..
Not Likely
Pavlov's dog salivates; fanbois buy.
All they naysayers forget app lock-in...
People are not dumb, but they may be locked-in to buying an iPhone 4 if they have an old iPhone and have hundreds of dollars of iOS apps they they have already purchased. I mean, which is worse to my pocketbook - re-purchasing all of my apps on Android , or simply putting a case on the iPhone 4? Given that I have Navionics marine charting, TomTom, OmniFocus, QuickOffice, and a host of games and other utility apps on iOS, I'm thinking that a case is a whole lot cheaper than to re-buy them all.
For many sane, rational people, they will figure that an iPhone 4 and a case is a whole lot less of a problem (and less expensive!) than re-buying all their apps, converting their music and changing players, etc. It's not about the technology, it's not about how good or bad a person Steve Jobs is...it's simply what costs less and is less of a problem if you happen to already own an iPhone but need a new one.
And my guess is, a whole lot of people that fit in that category.
Let the downvoting begin...lol...
No downvoting required
I don't see why you think your post requires downvoting. You put forward a valid point and argument. You are right - rebuying apps is an expensive hassle.
Perhaps the only point of difference I would put is that as an owner of a perfectly serviceable iPhone 3GS, I will not be purchasing an iPhone 4. I will wait until they sort out all the problems before considering whehter I will upgrade to another iOS device.
No downvote required?
But downvotes are traditional in iThing comments; no matter which side you're on or how sensible your comment.
I'm not making any claims to sensible comments, BTW, but some commentards have.
Any evidence...
It would be interesting to see if theres any evidence that they've changed the hardware in any way to improve reception, etc. Apple would never admit to doing this unfortunately.
Again, they CANNOT change the antenna design without getting a whole new FCC/EU and every other licensing body approval for the Radio Frequency part of the iPhone 4. Which takes, I believe, about 6 to 12 months (if the FCC applications and dates are anything to go by).
So NO - they will probably not change the design, not because they are bad, evil people, but because the FCC/EU et al, will not let them on short notice. "Simples, yes?"
* N.B. - I STILL want a meercat icon for stating the bloody obvious!!!
Beware of ...
... stampeding Lemmings.
It should work just fine Down Under
Because they'll hold the phone upside down, won't they? So they only need to worry about not touching the *upper right* corner, which should be a lot easier.
Some Aussies already have an iPhone four but we can't get hold of them....
This is going to be interesting.
Should be interesting to see about the "death grip" in Oz. If it is like some say and that the signal is only severely seen in areas of marginal reception, then we may have a slight issue, seeing as Australia is pretty much the definition of 'marginal reception'...
Guess it's only a matter of time till I find out, seeing as I have to order a few for work purposes...
Ah screw this, where's my beer?
thumbs up
I've noticed that you get thumbs up if you say something against iphone or apple on these forums
if you say anything positive about it, you will get thumbs down.
However, you can also have thumbs up, if you flame someone saying positive about iphone or apple (or even london !).
I wonder if you can get htumbs up too, by dissing someone, who would know somebody's tennis partner that could possibly have something good to say about apple or the iphone and who's dog called pavlov owns an iphone with no bumper case and a flat in london...
but that would be silly :D
I need to run some trend analysis, I think half the forum users are as predictable on half of the topics, but half of apple products are not half as reliable as half of the forum comments.
Quid rides? de te fabula narratur
'Cos you still can't buy an unlocked one over here without a healthy wait...
I for one........
..............am looking forward to walking down past the Apple Store on George St Sydney in a few minutes and take some pictures (with my iPhone 4) of the desperate antipodean fanbois already queuing to get their sweaty mits on one - Flaming gallahs!!!

Have a new idea?

Idea: Add a "test" button in preferences / reminders / SMS so people can check whether the number they entered actually works. Plus, add a tooltip with number formatting guidelines and examples - does in only take the number without any prefix, and if not, how does the prefix have too look like (+xx xxxx xxx, or 00xx xxx xxxx)?

WASHINGTON - Metro officials are apologizing for an incident that left hundreds of passengers stranded for hours on Metro's green line Wednesday evening.
Some panicked after the power went out on two trains waiting underground in southeast Washington. Dozens of passengers from one train evacuated themselves, walking onto the track bed.
Metro General Manager Richard Sarles apologized publicly on Thursday. He says Metro must do better to help customers during such incidents. He says Wednesday's mess was unacceptable.
Metro has said it's dangerous for passengers to evacuate without assistance because some tracks may be electrified.
There have been several similar incidents. On Sunday, night, an orange line train stranded dozens of passengers for two hours near the Cheverly station. And in July, about 150 passengers fled a stranded train near College Park.

I received a free sample of this product from Sephora. I have suffered from enlarged pores and oily skin since early puberty. I hae used this product 3 times now and my skin looked really good today. I mean, smooth and my make-up sat perfectly on top of the serum. I shall purchase a bottle and continue useage and write another review in a few weeks. I too have very sensitive skin and cannot even use Clearisil without breaking out in spots. I rarely have any pimples until I use strong products. DermaDoctor seems to be the way to go. Thank you!

Review this movie
Nov 25, 2014Where do I start?!?! Simply awful casting for every role, especially for the role of Matt. Not one character flowed or was even close to resembling the characters originally portrayed in the first version. They took certain parts that had value in the 1st flick like the hunting just as an example that was one of many and devalued it. The main enemy is the ultimate slap in the face though....North Korea has opened a can of whup ass on the U.S. and it's laughable to the point of hysterics. What a total waste of time, wish I never took the time to watch it. Some movies you should just leave alone and never re-do and this was one of them....Can't be PC and make a movie like this work.… Expand
Nov 23, 2014I never saw the original film, but I know that the enemies have changed from the Russians to the Koreans in the remake which shows the progression of America over the years. This is a movie for teenagers considering the are so many young people involved. Chris Hemsworth was badass in this remake, I really enjoyed watching him. It also has an unexpected ending that you will never see coming. Red Dawn is definitely underrated.… Expand
Nov 13, 2014"Red Dawn" 10 Scale Rating: 4.5 (Mediocre) ...
The Good: Despite the silliness, I was entertained through portions of it. It isn't a realistic movie at all, but the actors did a decent enough job with what they were given ...
The Bad: ... but they weren't given much. I can only suspend belief so far before a film becomes inadvertently humorous. While the original became a cult classic, this one is mostly forgettable.… Expand
Aug 22, 2014Red Dawn was a terrible remake. Hiring young actors who only whisper and mumble is a terrible choice, and re-hiring for other movies (Battle of the Year) is worse.
Jun 30, 2014Best movie ever. However North Korea is its own enemy by oppressing and enslaving its own people. I loved the action in this movie even though it is different from the original it is still awesome.
Feb 15, 2014I thought "Red Dawn" had enough Guns, violence, frustration and heroic attributes to be like the original--but that's the only reason. The acting was terrible. In fact the only acceptable acting done in this movie had to be by Hemsworth.
Feb 8, 2014This movie was almost entirely unintelligible. It felt like watching a typical action movie on fast forward the entire time. Any form of realism or plot did not exist. There was so little time for any acting due to the immensely fast pace of the story that the fact that actors were even hired for the roles is a miracle. Even with a wealth of subject matter to draw from with the original story as a launching pad, this movie failed so dramatically that it should win awards to better encapsulate how poor of a job it did. The best moments were the opening credits It was all downhill from there.… Expand
Jan 26, 2014Why people are bashing this movie? I bought Red Dawn the night before, and I found it pretty decent, it falls apart throughout, but it is actually a decent watch, I enjoyed it, it was entertaining and exciting, not perfect in any sense. one dimensional characters, not really convincing but for what it is, it is a B popcorn movie to not be taken seriously but only for fun.
Dec 16, 2013This was a much better movie than people give it credit for. Every review seems to have completely missed the obvious overtones referencing the war in Iraq.
This movie introduces far more conflict in the audience than the original. The original was purely propagandistic in its treatment of the 1984 USSR. This edition, set against the historical backdrop of the insurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan, makes the audience feel much more conflicted about the actions of an American insurgency.
Contrary to all the complaints about North Korea as the enemy (every review seems obsessed with arguing that the US is too tough to be taken down by North Korea, which is the mentality that the opponent exploits in the movie) this movie succeeds because it doesn't harp on the details of the enemy, because the enemy is secondary to the personal struggle of the characters.… Expand
Nov 7, 2013You can not believe what is thrown in your face, even if it is a film, where imagination has no limits, the idea sounds so shallow and misguided. You are not convinced at any time.
Nov 6, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was by far way worse then the first red dawn which was ok but this one was horrible North Korea or whatever countries would have ha pretty hard time invading America. Also one military soldier could would not train wimpy civilians that have absolutely no discipline to be better than US special forces.
And how could the chinese and North Koreans not take out like 7-10 guys with ponds of C4 plastic explosives that they some how easily stole?… Expand
Sep 27, 2013It's mildly entertaining and highly unrealistic. I've never seen the original so I can't compare it to this remake. I can say that it can be entertaining at times but overall the odd casting choices and emotional moments that fall short bring the experience down. Still it can be worth a watch just for the decent yet unrealistic action sequences that are packed with explosions. The cast does a good job but the only character that feels like they belong in a movie like this is Chris Hemsworth. Seeing Josh Peck and Hutcherson take down numerous Korean soldiers better than a squad of fully trained marines is more than a little unbelievable. Still the movie is watchable, so if you have nothing better to do then there are worse things to watch in your free time.… Expand
Aug 31, 2013I liked this movie, but it was a bit annoying how easy they take over everything. If you can get past all of that and not take the movie to serious it can be fun. I do think they should not have made it about some teens. It would be much better with Grown men. It`s not as bad as some people are saying it is, most people just seem to give a movie a 10 or 0 they know nothing in between.
Aug 23, 2013I don't know why Chris Hemsworth always ends up in bad movies, but this is another one. Way too much teen/young adult angst, cliches, and hollow characters. Honestly, most of the people in here I couldn't have cared less about, nor do I remember them a day later. The story doesn't make any sense either, because by the end of the movie I still couldn't figure out why the hell there was an invasion in the first place, nor why an army which could defeat the US military couldn't kill a couple kids... Thankfully the action scenes are tolerably good, but overall there's too little fighting and way too much whining.… Expand
Jul 28, 2013A solid movie that could have been so much better. The characters are not particularly interesting and it did not have as epic of a feel as it could have.
Jul 23, 2013This movie isn't completely awful but it has quite a few flaws. For example the script for the movie kills off people that seem like the best characters, and it was one of the worst endings in a movie that I have ever seen. But the overall movie is o.k, it doesn't spend too much time in character development, it's action packed, and the plot was pretty good.
Jun 8, 2013This is just a really boring movie. I wasn't going in expecting anything other than a bad movie, but even with that mindset this movie disappoints. Not even worth a rental. Absolute waste of time and money.
Jun 4, 2013"As a huge fan of the original, If you can put aside all the cheesy, corny acting of our leads, chances are your going to like this new take on the classic film. Its intense, exciting and builds up huge momentum on its original. I know i'm a wolverine." B+
May 30, 2013Okay, it's no secret that "Red Dawn" is not loyal to the original "Red Dawn," but that does not make the new one bad. Yes, a remake was unnecessary, but the movie was pretty legit as far a remakes go. It has the same premise and it did it well. What I took away from the movie is the execution, which was a mess. But I guess I still liked the movie a bit so I'll be nice and give it a positive rating, because I'm just a sucker like that.… Expand
May 28, 2013Whoa. Was this a joke? I couldn't tell have the time if the makers were trying to be serious or not. The movie goes way too fast. At one point, the narrator literally says 2 sentences on how their group is training over the span of what is supposed to be weeks in 2 minutes. There is NO attention to detail here. There is no way you could cram such a epic idea in a hour and a half movie. The characters were unlikable and forgettable. I don't remember any names. At all. It was clearly rushed to make some cash. Perhaps the worst part of the movie is pretty much the ending where the narrator quotes the worst sequel baiting I have ever heard in my life. He pretty much simmers down and gives a big emotional speach on how they will fight back and take their homeland after weaksauce of battles. You really just have to see the ending to believe how bad this movie was pushed out for a quick buck.… Expand
May 3, 2013When I saw the trailer, my first thought was "oh God, not this, anything but this!" I decided to go and see it anyway, and I was right. A good 80's film was born again as a cheap, and just plain boring film riddled with corny and overused plot elements. Please, just watch the original film and let the new one stay in the Best Buy value bin. That's where it should remain.
Apr 23, 2013Remakes are all the style now as if Hollywood has run out of things to say so here is Red Dawn, a modern day remake of a 70s cold war paranoia picture. Back then the idea Russia could descend the world into darkness was very real and now its the same with North Korea, oh wait, no it isn't. The film follows a group of survivors of a full scale invasion of suburban America by the North Koreans (I am honestly not joking). This group must band together and start a campaign of guerrilla warfare to take back their neighborhood and their country. (yet again, I am not joking) I really should have hated Red Dawn more than I eventually did. Don't get me wrong, I still pretty much loathed it. The cast is filled with miscast actors or just plain dreadful ones but it also has a few pretty great ones. For instance Chris Hemsworth is the right kind of charming/brooding to play former soldier Jed although Josh Peck is just horrendous as his hot headed (which he plays as constipated) brother Matt. Adrianne Palicki seems to be making a thing of the whole action woman thing but has had to wait a good 2 years for her two action films to be released after being held back for years. However she entertains as tomboy Toni although Isabel Lucas irritates and infuriates as her sister Erica. A pre Hunger Games Josh Hutcherson is in the film but I honestly cannot say anything about him because his presence isn't memorable. The main problem is that there is a borderline decent film hidden beneath the bad acting and illogical story that was changed as not to irritate the Chinese (the Chinese that were never going to see the film in the first place) as if they hadn't heard of a story before. The main draw of Red Dawn is the fact it is directed by Dan Bradley, a stunt coordinator who understands what makes good action as he has proven in the Bourne films he has worked on. The action is never short of fantastic from the opening invasion to the final showdown in a taken over police station. Its visceral and honestly some of my favorite action in a while, its that good. It's shocking that a film with this caliber of effects and stunts is let down by an idiotic plot change late into production and some woefully bad acting.… Expand
Apr 14, 2013Like "War of the Worlds", with aliens replaced by North Korea. This is a truly awesome movie with an original story, great action, and lots of twists and turns that make this movie impossible to turn off. Awesome, truly awesome.
Apr 6, 2013O.k. so in this version of Red Dawn in lieu of an actual powerful, adversarial nation like during the Cold War the United States is instead invaded by a country with less then half the GDP of the poorest US State and roughly the population of Texas. This vast gulf in military power and funding is offset slightly by having China and Russia help out North Korea; which doesn't make much of a difference since the US Military has more equipment then the next 13 largest militaries...combined, and most of them are our allies. Of course they could get few actual Koreans to act in this movie, so the "North Korean" army looks more like the "Peoples Republic of Greater Asia", which in retrospect would have made a much more realistic storyline. Beyond the horrible plot that serves as a perfect example of the kind of paranoia that's driving our nation to bankruptcy spending untold billions on a gigantic military, the movie does do two things rather well. First, the comparison between the Wolverines and the insurgents fighting the US and the North Korean invasion force proclaiming that it wants to "save" America make the movie an excellent walk in "the other sides" shoes, essentially saying: "this is what it feels like to Iraq, Afghanistan, etc." The second thing which it does well are explosions. They are done very well.… Expand
Apr 6, 2013I was surprised by this movie. I thought it was pretty entertaining. It isn't amazing, but it certainly isn't as bad as the critics make it out to be. I felt that this movie had lots of exciting action sequences that were both crazy with effects and very suspenseful. This is a touchy subject, but I felt that this movie was an exciting, inspiring movie.
Apr 5, 2013ReviewZone212 put it best, most people says this movie sucks. Well those people can suck it, this movie was AWESOME. Great action, great cast and for the most part of it funny and intriguing dialogue, my only gripe was that there wasn't really a great portrayal of a plot.
Mar 29, 2013I was actually surprised with this movie. It has a lot of negative reviews so I expected it to really suck. I was actually really surprised that I enjoyed this movie so much. No it's not anywhere close to movie of the year but it wasn't that bad. Granted,I didn't see the original and that may change my opinion.
Mar 19, 2013Red Dawn is a passable action flick, the acting is alright but still mediocre, Red Dawn enjoyable at times but ultimately fails compared to it's past installment. Give it a rental if you're interested but if you're not there's nothing Red Dawn can do for you. Wolverines? More like Puppies...(Man I'm not proud of that)
Mar 17, 2013Let me get this straight, Red Dawn is somewhat a fun movie. Despite that its boring direction and screenplay, the old version was defiantly better but tired directors that just want business made this film. Red Dawn is one of those films that makes the audiences bored and nostalgic. Some scenes were worthy to be in a Hollywood movie but this is one of the stink piles Hollywood makes, But Overall it's a fun movie.… Collapse
Mar 9, 2013Another pointless remake that should have never been made. The 1984 version has a story that's compelling because you have kids that are put through the worst circumstances, that ends up bringing two brothers together. In this one all the kids look like they just got out of the shower while just being in a bloody battle and you just don't care about the brothers relationship at all.
Mar 4, 2013I'ts just a movie! I don't know why some people try to compare a movie like this with some chance of happening in the real world. As far as I know, movies are made do entertain people, to make people get out of their boring routine.
Mar 3, 2013Shallow plot, shallow characters, shallow action and a horrible ending. They just took a hugeass dump on the original while creating one of the worst action flicks Ive seen in a long time. Hell, even Bourne Legacy was better than this pile of excrement. I felt sorry for the cast who had to put up with the cheap SFX, generic script and boring, uninspiring sequences that shouts below mediocrity. This should've been a made for TV movie from the start. Hell, had they retained the China vs U.S premise instead of this ridiculous North Korea vs U.S one it might've been a bit better. Because totally...the North Korean Army uses Hummers as part of their arsenal and are perfectly groomed like Korean pop stars. Avoid at all costs.… Expand
Mar 2, 2013what the hell i just watched this is terrible as Dark knight rises and Amazing spider man 3. For heaven shake people should not made this sort of war porn movies.
Feb 23, 2013This movie has a lot of action, and that's a good thing. So, they may have deviated from the original a bit, and that's fine. The acting is ok at best. Listen, I have watched BattleShip twice. I think the acting in that movie totally SUCKS. (Rihanna, acting, really?) The actors in this movie are far better. Go in thinking action movie, for about 2hrs, give or take, and you will be satisfied. Anything else, and you will probably be disappointed. i will recommend this movie on that condition.… Expand
Feb 20, 2013North Korea attacks The U.S. A. This is the point where you should stop considering watching this teen fantasy movie! Some untrained kids from the local town later form a resistance group, and fight back the highly trained and fanaticized N.K. soldiers! Honestly I can not say how dumb that is...
Feb 19, 2013Enjoyable action film. Didn't have close to the storyline of the original, but enjoyable to watch. If you are looking for a remake of the original, this is not it. If you are looking for an action flick, have at it.
Jan 28, 2013People say that this movie sucks, I really don't know why they say that, you watch a movie to have fun, this movie, Red dawn, combines everything that teens like to become an amazing movie, great characters, story and sfx, ill be watching this movie as one of my favorites, always.
Jan 24, 2013Red Dawn is a remake of the 1984 film that starred Patrick Swayze, and sadly this remake is even more ridiculous than the original. I have seen the original film a few times, and although it has its problems, it was a fun movie because of how silly it was. This new version just isn't very fun and has nothing really special about it at all. The characters are really unlikeable, the action is nothing we haven't seen before, and I honestly didn't care what was happening in the story the whole time. When I walked in the theater I had an open mind, and I actually hoped that this would be a fun and silly action film. Well sadly this movie really doesn't do anything fun or original to keep it interesting, and I walked out of the theater feeling like I had my money stolen from me. What also disappointed me was that this movie actually has a good cast of actors too, and they just waste the talent they have. I realized this was supposed to be a dumb and mindless action flick, but I at least wished I had some characters that were fun enough to cheer for. I like brainless action films if they realize it… Expand
Jan 18, 2013Sorry critics. I try to see what people are finding so bad about this film, but there is too many things I like here that should be highlighted. For one thing, this movie pays much more respect the the "man in uniform" than "Act of Valor" ever attempted to have. The action is awesome, and we have reasons to care for the characters here. Unlike "Battleship", this movie develops all of its characters. No, I have never seen the original "Red Dawn", and i'm not gonna let that affect my review. This movie stands alone as something entirely different. The point is, I recommend it. I feel that it is very underrated.… Expand
Jan 17, 2013Horrible, just horrible. No word to describe how horrible this movie is.
Jan 9, 2013Red Dawn has some good action scenes and some pretty actors thats where the good stops. Story telling is horrible, felt forced and predicable, Dialogue horrible feels like a standard Hollywood student script nothing special, Character Development sad(not in a good way) and horrible, seriously what made the old Red Dawn so good was the character development. You had time to get to know the people and feel what they feel and when they die its horrible but that's the point to involve the audience. , Weapons and tactics horrible. I was looking so forward to this movie... Why did you have to mess up such a awesome genre. Could have made a classic, just another Hollywood B movie with lots of money pumped in it.… Expand
Dec 17, 2012I am a fan of the original and this one was just fine...worth seeing (probably more of a Redbox than a $12 movie ticket), but good fun, different enough from the original but close enough to "honor" it.
Dec 10, 2012I still have a difficult time believing that people listen to critics. I have an even harder time believing they get paid for what they do. This was a good action movie. It's as if they were expecting a thriller. I was also looking through user reviews and had to laugh at the illiteracy of most of the negative scorers. Are children rating? I can't trust an individual's opinion if he/she seems incompetent. Anyways, dairy for the tangent. Good action movie. If you haven't seen it, just remember......ACTION MOVIE. NOT PHILOSOPHICAL.… Expand
Dec 10, 2012Though it's not as bad as the critics make it out to be, there's no question Red Dawn is a silly, over-the-top, wannabe-bad ass sort of film. But despite all that, it's actually kind of fun.
Dec 10, 2012Completely preposterous. There is a scene in the middle of the film where they run into a friendly and they tell him who they are. His response "I was afraid of that", My response "I couldn't agree more". I just could not believe I was sitting through this weird mess of a film. The only reason it is still in theaters is because there is nothing else to take its place. Why sit through this when there is a perfectly decent version of this movie from the early 80's to watch sitting in the discount bin at your grocery store. That one starring that chain smoking sex symbol Swazee back before he died choking on his own regurgitated tobacco tar.… Expand
Dec 8, 2012Worst movie I have seen. Bad acting, bad plot, bad directing, and so on. Please do not waste your hard earned money or your precious time on this garbage. It's BAD!
Dec 6, 2012Oh! This picture has failed to reach my upmost desires and expectation in a film of such topic. During the picture, i felt the desire to bash my skull into my adversaries while denouncing the queen herself! I declare this film treachery against England and her royalty. BAN THIS PICTURE AT ONCE! But...... Oh did i enjoy the appearance of "Josh". the lovely individual whom played Josh on Drake and Josh.… Expand
Dec 2, 2012So the only reason I went to this particular movie was because it lined up with another movie we where going to watch and we had to watch 2 movies back to back because the tickets we had expired that day and my wife and i had an engagement with friends in the evening. I was not particularly enthused to see Red Dawn because of the horrendous score it got from almost every single critic. I knew they hated the acting and the plausibility of the story so in particular I payed close attention to both. As far as the acting goes it was very good, Hemsworth does well of course but his supporting cast also did well. The acting brought me into the movie instead of taking me out. The story was interesting and even somewhat plausible, it definitely wasn't so bad it made the movie ridiculous. I mean it is a fiction "what if" movie but I could see it play out if there was an invasion. I'm not sure to what success but still this is only a movie after all. One particular critic mocked a scene were a girl fires a rocket launcher, I have fired rocket launchers in real life when in the military and i fired it next to girls also firing rocket launchers so I'm not sure what was so unbelievable there. All in all the movie was a great time with an engaging story that made me and my wife glad we went to see it. As far as it stacking up to the original, I cant remember the original very well at all so i really have no idea.… Expand
Nov 28, 2012This remake of the 1984 film has shifted the villains from Russia to North Korea. (It was shot several years ago with Chinese villains, but times have changed and so did the flags and uniforms in post production.). Pre-Thor Chris Hensworth and pre-Hunger Games Josh Hutcherson lead the cast of young people who take on the hostile foreign invaders. Their pluck and guerilla tactics are amazingly slick and successful for such an untrained group, but there's not much about this film that's realistic. Some of the action is good, but much of it is blurred and choppy… Expand
Nov 27, 2012The worst remake movies i seen is The Stepfather (2009). and Psycho (1998). Planet of the Apes (2001). The Wicker Man (2006). Red Dawn (2012) , And wait for more bad remakes movies Carrie 2013 and . Robocop 2013.
Nov 26, 2012Wow! I can't believe someone actually likes this movie. We are all unique and different. This was by far the worst movie i have ever seen. Who ask them to remake this movie? The script was equally bad as the acting.
Nov 25, 2012Aside from the fact that Hollywood caved to Chinese pressure, and altered the antagonists from China to North Korea - Ironic in the extreme because this movie is about Americans standing up to communists - this movie is pure garbage. How the hell would North Korea invade America? With what Navy? This is just simple tripe and typical of the crap Hollywood produces.
Nov 25, 2012I love the original Patrick Swayze version of Red Dawn, it was one of the best 80's movies that we certainly don't have time for a reboot. The new version starring a Hunger Games star and an Avengers star is pretty much says it. After a long period of delays since MGM (the movie's former company) headed for turbulance. And even bankruptcy, they should've released it when Sony acquired the rights to the troubled studio. Red Dawn is nearly half as bad as the floppy reboot Total Recall, so I thought it was gonna be called "Crap Dawn" or "Turkey Dawn." Jennifer Grey (the original Dirty Dancer) could send a message to the late Patrick Swayze that the director who is responsible for the remake is making a fool out of himself making a stupid idea to remake Red Dawn. I already got the movie on VHS, sadly I retired the tape and wait for the Blu-Ray release. Reboots are nothing more than con artists and so does the Red Dawn reboot. A terrible, indulgent, and as Joe Biden said in the Democratic debate that I've never heard that "Malarkey" word, but it's incredible.… Expand
Nov 24, 2012"Oh how the mighty have fallen." That is a phrase that you will repeat quite a bit if you've watched the original Red Dawn and maybe even played the video game Homefront before watching this. The movie is a gigantic rush job, which is a shame, as I'm pretty sure the original writer seems to have made the trio of American invasion movies/game, as the style is distinctly that of the original. The only problem? The execution. While the style it is done in has little differences, the script is a mess, spending no time developing female characters and constantly juggling ridiculous dialogue with a horrid plot, Much like Homefront, the original villain seemed to have been the Chinese. However, it seems to have been changed at the last second to avoid controversy. The writing is also a mess, and the action is like that of having a string puppet show involving a cowboy and a waving inflatable-arm tubeman duking it out. Do not watch this mess of a movie, and avoid it at all costs.… Expand
Nov 24, 2012Absolutely disgusting. Nothing short of a pathetic excuse of a remake that does not live up to it's original. Patrick Swayze would roll in his grave if he knew how much of a disgrace this movie was. The plot makes very little sense, and is overly patriotic. It is almost like they gathered inspiration from the awful video game Homefront. Do not waste your money.
Nov 23, 2012I think this is yet another movie where the majority of the critics have gotten it wrong.
