He can't exist outside that era. Steve Gutenberg managed it briefly, but then he disintegrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 When Harry Met Sally No idea why I'd never seen this, but what a film. Easy to see why everyone raves on about it being the best example of how to make a rom-com. Great performances, an amazing, water tight script with realistic dialogue, the best formula, and the perfect length. A bloody delight. Meg Ryan is gorgeous as well. Billy Crystal not so much, but he has so much charm, it's easy to see why someone would fall for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members DEF Posted September 26, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 26, 2018 City Hunter - Jackie Chan's first film that he handed over the directing reigns not named Sammo since he became a superstar. Unfortunately it shows. It's extremely loosely based on a Manga and Anime of the same name that apparently is nothing like it. But basically it's a nonsensical Die Hard clone on a boat with extremely cartoony slapstick. Now I go a long ways with City Hunter. It's possible it was the first Jackie Chan movie I ever saw. It's because of this maybe I'm a little more tolerant of it than others would be. It's a bit of a mess. A fun mess but to some I'm sure it's a tedious fun mess. It doesn't feel like normal Jackie comedy which is where I think it really seems off. It's much more cartoony and nonsensical. It helps that I love Gary Daniels as he has a notorious Street Fighter 2 fight scene with Jackie as well as an all too brief traditional fight scene as well. There's a pretty cool end fight with Richard Norton too. None of it's up to proper top notch Jackie standards but I'm still fond of it. The new Eureka Blu-ray is top notch. The picture is excellent thanks to a 2k restoration and it chocked full of audio options and special features.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted September 26, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 26, 2018 Gary Daniels was one of the only good things about the US-made Fist Of The North Star. The other good things were Chris Penn, Vader, and Malcolm McDowell. Rest of it was dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Meg Ryan, even with that hair, was such a brilliant comedic actress. She was stunning looking but could play utterly goofy. Echo the love of Joe Vs The Volcano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Bedevilled I’ve been on a Korean movie diet all week and this was in my recommended so this morning I gave it a watch. Its about a woman who returns from the city to visit her friend in a small village on vacation, her friend is subjected to physical, sexual and mental abuse from most of the people on the remote island and will do anything to seek a way out for herself and daughter how so? With extreme violence. Korean film makers really have a way with making you hate characters and the way they treat women can be really hard to watch.

Keith Houchen Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Check out Mother (No, not that one, Devon), that's another decent Korean one. Â I thought Bedevilled was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 26, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 26, 2018 Mother is fantastic, as is Bedevilled. Two of the better examples of Korean thrillers of recent years because they don't overdo things and drag them out to bloated running times.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted September 26, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 26, 2018 One Korean film I can definitely recommend is 301/302Â - about two women who live next door to each other meeting and chatting about their lives, which are horrendous. One is near-anorexic and can barely eat anything as a result of being sexually abused and force-fed by her father who was a butcher, and the other is obsessed with making food for people, mainly because her husband constantly humiliates and ignores her, and even goes so far as to refuse to eat her food when she cooks it. Harrowing and bizarre, but it draws you in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 The Commuter Non Stop on a train but with a funny Spartacus moment. Â Pretty shit but at least it brought me two hours closer to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Flu Korean film from 2013, an airborne virus infects the population of a city in South Korea less then 20 miles from Seoul. It focuses on 3 characters with a little girl being the main stand out, made you smile and upset whenever she was, she played an absolute whopper in this movie, I went into it being told it’s like Train To Busan (it isn’t) Still I wasn’t disappointed.
