Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 30, 2011 Paid Members Posted October 30, 2011 Richie, was it this The Ghost Train? If so, I saw it years ago on BBC2 in some late slot. It was good but it is horribly spoiled by Arthur Askey in one of the most miscast and out-of-place roles I have ever seen in a film. It's actually a really decent little ghost film so why the fuck they decided to throw him in the mix is beyond me. I can only presume that they threw him in there as a star name to make some money because the rest of the cast were largely unknown. Because when I watch a horror film, what I want is Arthur Askey telling racist jokes about Jews. Fucking hell.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 30, 2011 Paid Members Posted October 30, 2011 I can't think of a film where a character is more out of place. If you're looking for more vintage horror, I'd recommend The Old Dark House, which is absolutely brilliant, and Dead Of Night, which is THE best horror anthology ever.
King Pitcos Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Watched 30 Minutes Or Less this morning. It was... It was okay. The cast were all on form, but I feel like the film didn't reach the potential of the concept and the performers. The script could've done with one more or one fewer rewrite, probably.
Paid Members Fox Piss Posted October 30, 2011 Paid Members Posted October 30, 2011 Anybody recommend any good Asian movies that are fairly mainstream? Along the lines of Battle Royale/Ring type of thing.

Along the lines of Battle Royale/Ring type of thing. Neither of those are really mainstream, are they? Try Hard Boiled by John Woo or some Jackie Chan stuff, I guess.
Dil|kid Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Just watched Jean-Claude Van Damme's latest movie Assassination Games, also starring Scott Adkins. I really enjoyed it, being a huge JCVD mark makes me slightly biased, but its harmless fun with some enjoyable fight scenes. The acting is very hammy and the accents even more so, typical low budget filmed in Eatern Europe stuff but fun nontheless.. Having watched the greatness that is Kickboxer last night and there being no Italian football on tonight (damn MLS!) Im in the mood for another Van Damme treat, Cyborg or Hard Target?

Paid Members Fox Piss Posted October 30, 2011 Paid Members Posted October 30, 2011 Cheers guys Hard Boiled,Infernal Affairs and The Man From Nowhere all look like the stuff i am after. Infernal Affairs must be The Departed but it looks have 2 sequels which could be great.
