This movie has always been somewhat of an on/off experience for me. I enjoyed it when I saw it in theaters back in September of 2010 and a month or so after picking up the DVD, it became an obsessive compulsion from early 2011 to around mid-2012. Nowadays while I still like the movie, I have not watched it nearly as often as I used too, maybe two times between every few months. Sometimes I've held off of it for about a year. And I plan to continue it that way because back then where I call "the dark ages", that obsession was just unhealthy especially around the movie's lead female, Kate.
Now I'm reviewing it as I see it now and personally like I said, it's OK. It's nothing remarkable or special or new. It's mostly Romeo & Juliet with wolves, just like The Lion King is Hamlet with lions. The story is simple, the animation is so-so, and the characters are all likable enough even if they're simply following generic stereotypes. The movie's soundtrack is also pretty good though it'll only be memorable by those who really have or had a good connection to this movie.
This movie's biggest flaw was and still is to this day is the amateurish fanbase behind it now. I know only of a handful of people now who actually just treat the movie as a movie and not God's greatest gift to furrydom. It doesn't help much matters at all with the terms "wolfaboo" and "furfag" being thrown around every time someone has an opposite opinion.
I'm rambling... Anyway, my rating here is 6/10. It's an OK movie. I've seen much worse (Norm Of The North, Happily Never After, Space Chimps, fuckin Foodfight). I'd even watch this over Frozen.

Did you hear about the new 4k beast...? the GTX Titan X? (Or GTX 990 as it's number name, but actually named Titan X, big brother to the Titan Z)
Well, I saw live video benchmarks... at 4k, this powerhouse was able to go through the startup screen/PhysX screen on firestrike, at around 60 FPs... and played the game at 4k at around 20-30, not as good. But I think it was battle field 4... I THINK... it hit around the low 100 FPS at 4k... never done before. On a 1 ms 4k monitor... at a 60 Hz refresh rate. Gave it screen tearing... lol, this thing is a beast... here is a link to the vid: link
Halfway through the video, this guys, Jayztwocents, realizes his packing peanuts are edible, and starts eating them XD
It's funny, because that's what two GTX 780 Ti's can do in SLI, massively overclocked, and this is a single card...

All of your wind has gone
And all of the paths you've drawn
Have sunk to the ocean sand,
Where no one can see you stand
And under the dark embrace,
Cower the dreams you chase,
Under the rust, and blood,
Don't let yourself,
Give up
And all these steps,
These steps that we take,
Are leading us far away,
And all these years,
Passing each day
Since then we are far away
From where we were
We did what we could,
We are years away, from where we stood,
The road goes on,
Far from it all.
We will start from the start
We will start from the start
We will start from the start
We will start from the start
We will start from the start
We will start from the start
We will start from the start
And all of the paths you've drawn

Cower the dreams you chase,
Under the rust, and blood,
Don't let yourself,
Give up
And all these steps,
These steps that we take,
Are leading us far away,
And all these years,
Passing each day
Since then we are far away
From where we were
We did what we could,
We are years away, from where we stood,
The road goes on,
Far from it all.

We will start from the start
We will start from the start
We will start from the start
We will start from the start

To Wish Upon A Star
A poem by Silver_Alpha
Oh, to gaze up in the sky,
Looking at the lights near and far.
But to be here sitting next to you,
Is like wishing upon a star.
As the moon shines down on us,
The night suddenly becomes bright.
It is like day again,
But to be here with you feels so right.
You giggle and laugh with a snort,
A little smirk of some sort,
Then you look into my eye
and tears come, making you cry.
As I hold you in my arms, I never want to let go,
You feel safe, at home.
You calm down until sleep takes in,
It took you without one to know.
Oh, to gaze up in the sky,
Looking at the lights near and far.
But to be here sitting next to you,
Is like wishing upon a star.
